It's a shame they had to cut Columbo from Final Fantasy X, but he did add about 40 hours to the cutscenes alone.

A fake page mimicking the book series Final Fantasy Ultimania Archive. It shows 'concept art' of the tv detective Columbo as if drawn by Tetsuya Nomura. He is holding a cigar and posed in a thinking sort of manner with wind flapping his coat.
Text at the top of the page reads 'Columbo: the ruffled, cigar chomping detective who asks all the right questions.'
There is a fake screenshot at the bottom of the page depicting a supposed 3d model of Columbo against a beach backdrop. The description reads: A detective from the lost city of angels, he arrives in Spira in a small puttering four wheeled machina. He claims to be seeking an Al Bhed who can repair it so he can return to his wife before dinner. Under this pretence he investigates and interrogates everyone, becoming particularly curious around the death of Lord Jyscal. Behind his disarming bumbling facade lies a mastermind of deduction and reason.
