Non-humans being ignored?
OKay i have noticed that all the non-humanoid characters are ignored in FFs. Like Red XIII was kinda treated like a pet and not a character. In advent children he was only given one crummy lineThe blue guy in X also( forgot how to spell his name Kim something)
I dont know! has anyone else noticed this
Thanks Owen Macwere for my new updated sig!
Kimahri and Red XIII were treated witht the utmost respect.
Steiner was the only human in FFIX, and the only one who wasn't respected.
I think Red not getting alot of lines in AC was because he was voiced by some Japanese celebrity, although he's a guy of few words and a mysterious character in the first place.
Anyway, I don't really see what you mean. Most of the different 'races' or 'species' in FF games are treated with alot of respect. *shrugs*
See in FFX/FFX-2
They make Guado become bad
They kill Ronso not human
They despise Al Bhed (though Al Bhed is human)
They treated Hypello as servant
They make Shoopuf a taxi, the elephant must be tired
They make Kimahri less useful like the other in battle
In FFIX, they specially respect non-human, Steiner and Beatrix is the only human playable character.
FFVIII specialize in human, not too much race of unhuman in FFVIII.
FFVII Nanaki is treated well, in AC, Nanaki is treated like a dog, Nanaki...is my favourite.....
Cait Sith also, He just like Kimahri, less useful, can they make this unhuman useful a bit.
Square have chosen, wedo not have the right to do anything, that's their choice.
The Late Owen Macwere Production.
The Shumi ostracised themselves from the world and Moombas were treated as slaves.Originally Posted by vivi_ultima
The Guado were only following Yevon's orders when they (SPOILER)attacked Home. Only Seymour was truly bad, and he was only half Guado.
They kill so many humans in FFX, not just Ronso. In fact I didnt see many Ronso killed at all.
Al Bhed are humans, just another race.
Shoopufs are animals, and ridden just the same as horses or elephants. They dont treat them badly, they just use them as work, and I dont think walking is very hard. Its not like there's any proof that they work them to the point of exhaustion or any such thing.
Red XIII was not treated badly at all in AC. He was a very minor character, and he did Cait Sith a favor by carrying him around.
Zidane: Genome
Vivi: Black Mage
Garnet: Human (Summoner)
Steiner: Human
Eiko: Human (Summoner)
Amarant: Human (although a green skin...)
Freya: Ratfolk
Quina: Qu
Steiner, the only human?
I've not seen many humans with horns protruding from their foreheads, nor have I seen many with green skin.

Well, Seymour killed enough for them to be pissed about it in FFX-2...
Hm, dont remember that at all. But still, it's not like the Ronso were singled out. Tons of people were killed by Sin.
Okay, but Garnet, Eiko and Amarant are still humanoid. (So you got a Summoners Specie, but what is Amarant then? (or was his green skin a reference to a FF-character called Salamder?)
There's a difference between being humanoid and being a human. Quina is humanoid (one head, two arms, two legs, etc), but she's a Qu, not a human. Likewise, Eiko and Garnet are summoners, a special breed with horns and the power to call eidolons. I've no idea what Amarant is, though I think Salamander was his original name.
They weren't really singled out by Seymour, but when they got in his way on Mt Gagazet he exterminated practically all of the Ronso on the mountain.
In FFX-2, one of the sub-plots revolves around the Ronso's growing resentment for the Guado due to this incident.
Ah yes yes, now I remember. The Ronso were upset when the party tried to pass through Mt. Gagazet, right?
And I didnt mean they were singled out by a bad guy, I mean they werent singled out for death in the game. It wasnt like only Ronsos died in FFX.
