Like u said ffix is full of weird characters, but dont u think that his eyes are like that of not sleeping because of guarding the Castle 24/7??

Are we going off the main subject?

No, i said (a character) so there is no problem

Hey forest owl: Nice speech, but u didnt give a more simple meaning , in other words i didnt get it. Now here is my speech (Simple and short)

Lets stop talking as players of ff and speak with reality.
If u see a man with a hat and a dark matter face with 2 yellow supposedly eyes, are u gonna say its human, no.
If u see amarant walking around are u gonna say its human or are the people gonna say its human no!!!
Regent Cid is human. Zidane is not, not only because of the tail, but the big mouth he has. So human is something like us.

Then only VIII and some of X and X-2 characters look like human.

Barely anyone is human in FFIX, and out of your characters only Steiner is human.

Since when was Zidane a human anyway? (SPOILER)He's one of those things that Garland created, not a human.

What I was trying to say is that a character does not have to appear human to be human. That may not make much sense, but I believe that someone's humanity comes from within. The examples I gave were Nanaki and Freya. While not appearing human they were both autonomous, had a conscience and knew the difference between right and wrong. These are qualities I deem to be human. Now take the example of Kefka. He appeared human (to some extent), but did not have an ounce of humanity inside him. The same can be said for Kuja's Black Mages. I guess what I'm saying is to be human you need to have a soul, and a good one. Therefore I see almost everyone in FFIX, and others, as being human.

You say that Regent Cid is human even though we perceive him as an Oglop and a frog. Therefore humanity is something that comes from within.

So Kefka, though born homo sapien, would not be considered a human?

I understand the logic you apply for what defines a human. (For example, Kefka's actions are refered to as inhuman.) It's really a good way to explain some of the characters in the Final Fantasy series.

A lot of FFIX's characters are a mix between a human, and some form of animal (FF in origin or not.)

I see Amarant as a demi-human. When I look at the skin colour and the hair I think of a Behemoth. (The one's from the series.) So as for what Amarant's 'animal' part is, I always kind of thought of him as an intelligent, bipedal Behemoth, without the horns. :p

In reality, however, being a human comes down to biology.

Well, there's alot of creatures that are hot and still not humans. *points at sig* And they even exists in the real world as well. John Kerry for example. He's hot as hell but he's not human. He's a polar bear.

I'm sure he's human, but all the main characters in IX are even not human or don't look it.

Zidane = Alien
Garnet = Horned summoner
Vivi = Puppet
Steiner = Uhh, well I guess he looks human, probably just wears alot of make up
Freya = Rat beast
Quina = Qu
Eiko = horned summoner
Amarant = Blue chicken man
