Shiva the ladyboy

Every horny Final Fantasy fanboy (and fangirl too) out there has at one point in their life fantasized about Shiva. Drooled over her sexy and feminine curves too! Obviously because she's smokin' hot, just look here:

She even has that "come hither look" ;)

BUT, I've made a shocking revelation! Click here and you will know what I'm talking about.

Yes, it's true - Shiva's actually a guy! :eek: In other words, she's a ladyboy. But yeah, ladyboys can be hot. I for one should know! :breine:

If you don't know what you're going in to, you're easily deceived. And that leads me to the topic of this thread:

What was Square thinking deceiving all the poor fanboys/fangirls like that? What do you think of all of this? - and has Square ever deceived you in any other way?

Bahamut isn't really a dragon, either.

Yeah, isn't he a whale? Or an elephant? Something big, I know that.

I think I'll take my chances with Shiva being a ladyboy. How often do you get to play with blue boobies?

Shiva is just a name at the end of the day, I believe Square obviously thought that depicting Shiva as a female ice elemental would be more suitable which is actually quite logical based on the fact that ice is frozen water but still water. In most fantasy settings water and air elementals are often than not depicted as female. Same as Ifrit (Efreet another way of spelling the same word or even the plural I think) is actually not the devil he seems to get portrayed as. Ifrit are male or female, winged spirits below the level of demons and angels. However turning Ifrit in to a huge kick ass non-winged demon makes a lot of sense from the fantasy setting.

The fact remains that, regardless of whether the change is good, Square's Shiva (along with Bahamut, and Orthros, and Typhon, and all the freakish monsters in FFIII named after Judaic angels, etc.) is wildly different from her namesake. I think that's all this is meant to point out.

Miscellany: The plural of Efreet is Efreeti.

i have no opinion either way ladyboys are good people as for deceiving fanboys that was just laying the groundwork for acceptance of transgendered people

And the next thing you're gonna tell me is that s/he's not really a summon too!? :P Of course I knew, but it doesn't exclude a little thread-y fun, now does it?

No. The summon Shiva is a female. Shiva is also a name of a Hindu god. Square made their own new summon, but named it Shiva probably because of similar personalities. I already knew that there was a Hindu god named Shiva, but Shiva is not a ladyboy.

The same thing with other summons. Bahamut might not be a dragon, but the dragon has personalities of Bahamut.

Nice joke, Breine.

Such good fun! The truth shall set ye free you bastards! My wife's a Hindu, so I found out about Shiva like that and my world has not been the same since.

Actually, not male... didn't Shiva have qualities of both male and female? I may be wrong, but I remember hermaphrodity playing a role...

I think i remember my RE teacher saying something like that arcanedude.
Some religions think shes a man, some a woman also.

Yeah, I found out a couple years ago Shiva was male.
And then just last year that Bahamut was a gigantic fish so large that Isa (Jesus) fainted from the sight of it. Bahamut carries the world on his back, and is sometimes depicted with a hippopotamus or elephant head.

So can we argue about odin......no! good because FF has created a very good charecter that is very odinish.

theres an island peoples that worship the goddes of the volcano and her name is (Drum role) Shiva, must be coincidense.

leviathen is one of the seven princes of hell (eight if you include asteroth), leviathen is the prince of envy and the snake that sweet talked eve into eating the apple.

Yes Shiva is in actuality is Male in Hindusim..However a little known fact is that He an also be a She when s/he wills it.

Shiva the Ice Goddess in FF is based on the Norse Goddess of an obscure name , and Shiva is modification of 'shiver'

FYI: Ifrits are Jijins aka Genie's ....these species are based on Islamic texts...and yes they DO exist....

....no.

It's ironic because Shiva, in Final Fantasy lore, is an ice goddess, and you think she's 'hot'. Ice is cold, not hot. It was just petty wordplay. Don't hurt yourself, now. :p

On one hand this thread makes me want to come out of the virtual closet about this and admit that I'm not normal. However, I'm also wondering if the OP was trying to come out or not... so I'm not sure to agree with him or keep quiet...

..except that having written that, I'm too late about keeping quiet.

Shiva makes me laugh.

I think it really IS Shiva. He's a major trickster god, in some stories. He usually shows up as male, but he can be hermaphrodite or even put on a female avatar when it suits him.

I think he's having the last laugh with all the FF fans worshiping his blue booty!

My theory, corroborated by nothing whatsoever, is that when Square was creating Summons early on, they were grabbing mythological figures a lot more randomly than they do now. Someone said, "Shiva, there's a good one!" Someone else looked at an icon of Shiva and mistook his girlyboy hips for a girl, not understanding Indian art styles (here's a typical icon of Shiva). They got the BLUE part correct, but then they went with ice (it was supposed to be poison that turned him that color) instead of fire!

And the rest is history!

That, or else when FF first introduced Shiva, the game didn't give a gender, and later the game designers assigned one without realizing it was a particular god.

The one that startled me more -- I am very silly -- was the horse Odin's riding in FFVIII. It has six legs. In Norse myth, it has eight! I suppose that was too difficult to animate.

*rereads more carefully*

Rodarian, do you have any reference for a Norse Shiva? My grounding in Norse mythology is weaker, but as a mythology buff -- in fact I'm working on a graduate degree in mythology (want fries with that?) -- I am intrigued. That is not one I've come across.

Aha! But there is also a Slavic goddes called Živa! Not close enough? Well, this is how you spell her name in Polish (note that "w" is spelled exactly like a "v", and if an "s" comes before an "i" it is always spelled in a very similar fashion to the English "sh").

I thought everyone knew Shiva was a god, the fact so many didnt know this just b/c of FF makes me laugh :P
