[Skyblade]

whats with the boobs and otherwise female physique then?

Starlett is also pretty scantily clad

Ask the Hindu's why Shiva's a god with a feminine physique. Sometimes he's depicted as a guy and other times as a girl, but regardless he's still a god and not a goddess.

Shiva in Final Fantasy is not the Hindu god. There are tons of differences between the two entities, and using one to set terms on the other is poor debate tactics. In Final Fantasy, Shiva is always referred to as a female, and is even described as being specifically female in FF Dissidia. Also, she is not always dressed revealingly or nude, as the (totally awesome) FFTA artwork shows.
