anime babes just dont realy do it for me.

honestly, whats the point of this thread?

Cloud doesn't look like a girl, ok no, let me put it this way, Cloud 'looks like a girl' because he is drawn like a model, a very pretty person. But he is also drawn as a young person, that also helps.

Its better not to ask the genders of the characters in FF...

its hard to tell if there female or male

They have too talk about pretty computer generated women because they have no life and a real girlfriend.. :)

Yep I actaully remember X-Play havinga segment were they were asking if they were male or female...I got 3 out of 5 >_>

I'm a girl and I think Lightning is pretty hot. :D

Holy shit, you mean all this time I've been playing video games, none of it was real?  I didn't singlehandedly take on the Covenant forces on Halo and blow it up?  I didn't save Princess Peach from Bowser?  I'm NOT the God of War?

I still will say that her face has slight variations. Some that is very hard to pic up just doing that fade in and out trick. Her face is a bit chubbier and nose smoother. Her eyes are slightly more angled and farther apart. IF you don't believe me take those original images into photoshop, paint.net, gimp, or another image editor and jsut play the zoom in and use the measurement tools and the basics of drawing black lines while comparing. You can say her facial structure is based off Cloud but she is definitely different in many ways.
