The White Mage Mystery

[Starboard Regulator FlareNUKE]

Well even though, he is a male in FF3

[Destai]

White Wizard still looks like a female to me. She/He/It has an hourglass shape, which suggests a female figure. However, WW definitely seems to have broad shoulders and a chiseled jawline. I would say the the thick jawline is actually a shadow made by the neck of her clothing, and the broad shoulders is just an illusion made by her robes "bunching up" around there- I mean, it's pretty obvious that her robe is very roomy in the shoulder/arm areas.

And the bushy rectangular eye brows just scream feminine.

The White Mage is the same sex as Gogo! My real answer though: I say female. Every other game in the series has female and male playables (well.....except X2). In 4 and 9, Square decided for us each character's job. They made Garnet, Eiko, and (the ever annoying) Rosa white mages, or something similar. Thing is, they probably designed these characters vaguely so that they could be either one. All things considered, it doesn't really matter, but it's fun to talk about.

Girls can have broad shoulders and thick eyebrows, but they just twease and wear different clothes so guys never notice.

WM's are asexual.

This has been scuentifically proven beyond a doubt. Well put Mullet... btw, your names sounds bad ass with an "Outrageous french accentah!"

Not chicks in the FF series. The broadness is reserved for other select reigons of the bodies. :joey: Different cloths in FF ususally show off feminine shoulders.

Correct.. this suggests russian heratige... prehapse the russians were asexual? Sace for Mother Russia

That's unfair, best of both worlds! Maybe it starts out as a woman but has a sex change as part of the class change package cos she was found out (obviously her robe slipped in battle and something showed) and being a woman warrior in the early FF world was just NOT ON you had to be a helpless damsel like Sara...

Damn Square sexists!

WM: Ooops!
Fighter: Dude, what's that?
WM: nothing, just gaining weight.
BM: No dude, that ain't weight.
THIEF: Those are TITTIES! Damn I haven't seen a pair of those in ages.
RM: Dudes, this isn't on. We can't have a CHICK light warrior. it's a men's only job!
WM: I just wanted to save the world...
RM: Well, you can't.
WM: but!
RM: Go become a princess or something.
Fighter: So we can save you like we're supposed to.
Thief: Will I get a kiss if we do?
WM: Shut up.
RM: You know, Dr Unne was talking about this new technology...if you really wanna be a light warrior still....when we class change you can...*whisper whisper*
WM: You mean I'll have a willy?
RM: Uh huh.
Thief: Hmmm, I wonder what THAT's like?
Fighter: Not you too.
Thief: What, me? Never!

LOL
RM:Ok lets clear this up everyone drop your pants.
BM:But I'm wearing a robe
RM:take off the robe then!
Fi:Hey where's the monk?
Mo:Hi guys. I mean... (Deep manly tone) Hi guys
Thief: Thank God I'm in chick heaven

[Light Mage]

One word: Minwu.

[Flying Mullet]

Except Minwu wasn't in FFI.

[DJZen]

In FF1 it is a girl, if you look at official artwork and her class change, it's a girl. In FF3 the WM and WW sprite were edited because the story was about four BOYS who could class change. Therefore, the sprite was edited to look like a male.

Which official art was this? The artwork Amano did never really showed any white mages, just some generic looking fantasy characters. If you look at the class change, WW just looks like a guy with long hair. Also, the WM sprite in FFIII was EXACTLY THE SAME as FFI's. If there were any differences, they were extremely minor. If you're thinking about the Shaman, that's just a WM sprite with cat ears, there weren't any real facial differences. The real case for WM being a guy is that if you look back at the whole FF series, can you think of ONE female character who didn't have an EXTREMELY revealing outfit?

[rubah]

Freya. Faris (sans dancer), matron, garnet, various NPCs.

[Cecinda]

Another thing, don't you think the stories of FF1 and FF3j are just TOO similar??? They're practically the same. There's a Sara, light warriors, everything. Except the LW's are kids. Prequel?

[DJZen]

The stories aren't remotely the same.

[omnitarian]

Also, the WM sprite in FFIII was EXACTLY THE SAME as FFI's. If there were any differences, they were extremely minor.

I wouldn't call that "extremely minor".

Heh, FF1 WM is a giant who can float in mid-air.

[Reine]

I see the White Mage as either, but I tend to make my White Mages female. I did have a male White Mage once though

[DJZen]

I wouldn't call that "extremely minor".

I wouldn't call that very different either though.
