i think a world of catpeople would become as dull as a world of humans..even if they are naked lol.

zidane and freya were very human...but since freya travelled amongst the humans alot it didnt bother me, at least she WAS distinctly differnt. Kimahri was also very human. we have to understand that the workings of the japanese are so differnt from almost ANY nationality on earth that you could be mistaken for thinking thye are not human but living dolls. man has many variations but each allows for them to still be classed as mankind..well today anyway, not long ago this provided the excuse for slavery throughout history which currently we still exert on our brothers - animals.
The thing is that all the pixar movies have proven our current ability to relate to inhuman guises and shapes...so why does the hero always have to be human and mostly male.

i guess the mostly male comes from japans messed up system. after all the ancient celts over here were most oftenly ruled by women...women make the best fighters because they can be more focused, cruel and precise. despite their character flaws all the women we have trained in swordfighting have been the better fighters...but often all we get from FF is a giggling mess lol
