There are painters who transform the sun into a yellow spot,
but there are others who with the help of their art and their intelligence
transform a yellow spot into the sun.

Besides riding a 6 legged horse, Odin also wears a cape.
Maybe its him, but something like Odin <--> Raiden in FFVI.
edit: meaning Odin changed into Raiden, and Raiden didn't ride a 6 legged horse.
Well, i think that maybe they are customizing odin for this game. Afterall, all other avatars have been tweaked or modified for the different FF. The 6 legged horse well... i dont see why they changed that.
Well Jei's post sort of confirmed everyones suspicions. I was going to comment that just b/c the horse didnt have 6 legs, doesnt mean it istn Odin. SE has creative license to change the looks of their characters from game to game.
Geez, guys if you are going to debate the image being inaccurate to Norse Mythology at least get Slepinir's leg count correct. Slepinir is an 8 legged horse not 6, born from Loki when he was in mare form and seduced Svadilfari. Slepinir has the ability to gallop across the sky and travel to the underworld and back.
Yes for Odin the whole detail is he wore a cape, missing 1 eye, has a long grey beard, and a long brimmed hat that lowered over the socket were the missing eye is. Odin also possesses other animals then just that horse. He has a goat that from his udder forever flowed mead (an alcholic drink), a boar that would magically ressurect itself to die and become thier meal, he also had 2 wolves, 2 ravens.
Then of course as extra effects he had the ring Draupnir, spear Grungir, and the bow Ichaival. Of course I've yet to see any recreations of Odin possess all this so don't read to far into the mythologies to guess an appearance as being something, they might fit some of the stuff in there but not all of it.
For info on the effects:
Grungir when thrown never missed it's target (Probably the ultimate in spears)
Draupnir on the 9th day would rain down 8 gold rings of same weight and value (Ultimate Treasure Hunter)
Ichaival with each pull of just 1 arrow on it's release would become 10 arrows (Ultimate Barrage)
