What makes you so confident that the people of FF9 are all human? There are at least a handful of other species in the game (Burmecians, Dwarves, Black Mages, possibly the Summoners) who's to say the whole world isn't a melting pot, and that's why no one notices differences? I don't even remember if the word "human" was ever used either. I think I remember "man" and "woman" being used, but I think at least "woman" was used in reference to a Burmecian. My memory is foggy, though. There's a good chance I'm pulling that out of my ass Anyhoo...

Actually the word human is thrown around a lot, even Vivi gets called a human at some point, but I assume it's just poor translation.

Also, yeah, there's several different races. But I guess the game producers just decided to cluster anyone who doesn't fit into the other races as "human".

Shrug.

Yeah, I have a feeling that was a mistranslation, words like person and people tend to fit more. Either way...the way races were ignored makes me rage at FF IX. Maybe there is a small underlying message of acceptance? Like, a world where people don't even NOTICE small differences between races. It's a nice thought...but I doubt it.
