Dont You Think That Alot Of FF7 Charectors Look Like Girls?

i think cloud looks like a girl (and i thought he was a girl when he was in the dress) i think baret is the only person that does not look like a girl (sorry about the bad spelling)

There is only so much you can do with pixilated blocks but to respond properly to your question, no. I think each gender was portayed to the best of it's ability and in the FMVs it was obvious on genders of each. In battle it was pretty obvious also.

Barret was very male in his pixilated form but there where others like Cid that still porteyed a masculine figure. Vincet is a tough one in that forum but the CGI scenes do a good job of depicting him as a male.

So to put it simply, no.

If you think a big Black guy and a flaming cat look like chicks then maybe.
I think it's easy to tell the difference between the males and females. Yeah except for maybe Vincent and Cait Sith (not Human), But for Vincent, I don't think a girl would have that name. The game does look like a blocky comic but I didn't have a problem determining their genders. Plus Cid also looks very male. In battle everyone looks better so there, you can clearly tell the difference.

ObviousLy, no.. CLoud doesn't Look Like a girL aLso! He's so manLy.. except if he had Long hair Like Sephiroth.. LoL!

ALso.. take note that.. when CLoud dressed as a girL.. he stiLL had his manLy Look.. his shouLders are different from the ones on Tifa and Aeris.. aLso.. he waLks very differentLy..

Of course I think that a lot of FF7 characters look like girls! Tifa looks like a girl to me, and Aerith looks like a girl as well. I'm on the fence about Yuffie. (lol, jk! I know she's a girl).

I think you meant this as "Do you the a lot of FF7 guys look like girls", in which I would have to respond a big NO. Also, why pick on FF7's characters?!?! There are some other ambiguous characters in the FF franchise. I mean, look at Larsa (FFXII). I like him, but when I first saw him I thought, "Aww, what a cute lil' girl!", and then he spoke and I was like "Whoa, that's not a girl...." He's young though (like 12 I think), so maybe he'll get some masculinity when he reaches puberty or something.

Another character that has an ambiguous character design is Sorceress Adel (FFVIII). This chick looks like a man.

I certainly don't think any of the male characters look like girls, the first person I thought of was Barret and I lol'd... then Cloud in a dress, so I'l give you that one. But on a whole, no, not in the slightest. There's certainly nowt feminine about, Hojo, Heidegger, Cid Palmer, Dyne I could list more, but you get my point...no...I'm just not seeing it at all. Unless you think a dude with long hair looks liek a girl *shrug*

Ive seen far more feminie male characters in other FF's than VII, just look at Kuja, crikey.... xD

Couldn't disagree with you more on this one, there have been plenty of FF characters that have had some pretty strong femine characteristics; Zidane, Kuja, Quina (debatable), Edward (FFIV), Seymore Guado (from a distance not the close ups) just to name a few. But as I stated in my previous post I don't feel that VII had that problem if anything Yuffie looks like a little boy.

Like Meier said there were limits but despite of that the characters are well done and the gender of the characters is pretty much obvious, so no I don't think that any male character in FF VII looks like a girl especially Mr. T ... I mean Barret.

**MakotoKin** · 09-16-2009, 12:33 PM

I personally don't think the male character's look like girls. I can understand where people may come to those conclusions, but no. I never personally thought they resembled women in any way. The only time any man came close to being a woman in the game was when Cloud wear's the dress in the slums, haha.

**Midnight Panda** · 09-16-2009, 05:01 PM

i think they do, but square enix did the best they could to get it right

So you think all the Males look like females?? including Barret and Cid??? I guess if you mean female body builders. I could be wrong but there was no SquareEnix when FFVII was made for ps one. (squaresoft)

hmmmm, an interesting thoughts.
i just pretend that aerith is carrying the buster sword

not really an imagination.

**Josh_R** · 09-22-2009, 07:45 AM

some look like girls but other that was mentioned do not look anything like chicks...like ramza from FFT he looked like a chick...

**Rnin** · 09-22-2009, 10:42 AM

No. They are distugished enough to figure if they are a girl or not.

**Ether** · 09-24-2009, 07:57 PM

I think for vidio games such as Final Fantasy (and anything realy from Japan and other Asian countries) The males are drawn quite effeminate but I think thats do to the culture and apeal although that doesn't apply to ALL characters.

**Josh_R** · 09-25-2009, 06:14 AM

I have looked back at my FF collection and there is actually a lot of characters that look like chicks...

**Sisthra** · 09-25-2009, 06:43 AM

No, I don't think their look like girls...Sephiroth is only a bit effeminate,but he doesn't look like a girl,absolutely.

Because he's a man XD.

Really? Then explain this to me.

Adel - The Final Fantasy Wiki has more Final Fantasy information than Cid could research

Sorceress Adel (アデル, Aderu) is a minor antagonist in Final Fantasy VIII. She is a Sorceress who was once the ruler of Esthar for an unknown period of time. Though Adel is always referred to as a "she," her physical form is very masculine with a muscular frame with thick shoulders. Adel is also at least four times the size of the average person.

Sounds like Adel is supposed to be a woman, but just has very manly features. So unless you are just being facetious, then I was in fact correct in saying that Adel is a chick that looks like a man.

**Sisthra** · 09-26-2009, 05:46 AM

If I remember good,in the Italian version of the game their say she (he? Boh) is a man...
but in the Italian version there are a lot of translation error...
