The Names of the Warring Triad

[Shirobi]

Where on earth did they confirm Odin is part of the Triad? They said he was an eikon like the Triad, as far as I can remember. I also seem to remember Yoshida saying FF7 was his favorite but that's really neither here nor there.

"Here we talk a little bit about the word used to describe Odin in Japanese (闘神=TOSHIN=lit. god of fighting) and how it is similar to the Japanese term 三闘神 (SAN-TOSHIN=lit. three gods of fighting), or what is translated in the EN version as the Warring Triad. "

Odin is one of the Three Gods of Fighting, what is translated to English as "The Warring Triad".

They're saying that term used to describe Odin (god of fighting) is similar to the term used to describe the Warring Triad (three gods of fighting).

Two objects being described by similiar terms does not mean that they're the same thing.

For example, football (as in soccer) and American football are described using similar terms, but you wouldn't infer that soccer must therefore be the same game as American football.

You read into this a bit too deeply, like jumped a shark on this one. They're not saying Odin is a part of the Warring Triad just that the words are in fact similar. In that same exact post, in fact right after your quote, they mention that "It’s here that we mention that toshin is actually just the term that the Allagans used for primals (primals being a relatively recent (in Eorzean history) term)." If we jumped on this that means that Bahamut is one of the Warring Triad. Garuda is one of the Warring Triad. Ravana is one of the Warring Triad. After all, they are all toshin- ah but see now we see that not all of them can in fact be part of the warring triad. For there to be Three... you need a count of three and not a count of all the eikons/toshin/primals.
