    Well their wrong not to ask, and she's wrong not to correct. Unless their all doing it to amuse themselves.There is a woman who works in a book shop and she calls me and my brother "Girls" and we don't correct her because we find it amusing not to. And we call her "Cida" because she looks like Cid out of ffVIII.

    Not entirely sure gender was such a big issue when saving the world.
    Can a heart still break after it's stopped beating?

    Whenever you dis FFIX, a kitten dies. Is that what you want on your conscience?

    It's also entirely possible that the Qu are a tribe that defines gender differently, if at all.

    Generally with races as diverse as FFIX has, many races are only marginally aware of how the other races are as far as general personality and physical makeup.

    In battle, the "human" classification simply refers to a "person", of some kind. Hence why non-human sentients can qualify.

    Qu are genderless, and they're not human, but they are people.

    Actually, there are very few characters in FFIX who are fully human. Some aren't human at all, and some are highly mutated. Let's look at the main cast...

    Zidane, Vivi, Freya, Quina: plainly not human at all.

    Garnet, Eiko: Summoners. They have the ability to command Eidolons, which involves unique innate powers that others don't have. Eiko has an extra organ - the telepathic horn on her head - which Garnet also had, originally. So, they're not totally human either.

    Steiner: His face is less than fully human: He has no actual lips (his mouth simply begins, rather than being framed by lips of a different colour); he has no indentation in his upper lip (between the nose and mouth, on the rest of us); his eyes have no coloured irises, only pupils. These unusual traits don't make him inhuman, but it's strange that one person should have all those characteristics.

    Amarant: The guy has blue skin, just like Brahne. The physiological implications of this are quite staggering.

    They just designed him that way. For me, it picture an image of a stern and upright person.

    Although it is interesting to note that the Amano artwork for Steiner and Amarant are very human-like.

    I think Japaneese actually has a gender- neutral pronoun. That may be why.

    Amarant misses a hand and that is obviously why he wears claws there

    Amarant's a person? I thought he was a duck or some other animal.

    Human is simply the "class" that they would fall under in the games battle mechanics.

    human on this game means humanoid in battle , kuja and zidane technically arent human and quina and vivi arent but they still count as human because they are a lot like humans.
