Final Fantasy VIII The first game in the series to consistently use realistically proportioned characters, FF8 also threw more of a futuristic mix into the old (Hi-)potion that is Final Fantasy.

But SorcerESS means shes a female as much as its hard to believe!

I have to admit, even though you're practically told in the game that Adel is female, I began to wonder if you're lied to. XD I mean sheez, she looked practically male to me...but eventually I quit caring, because fighting her was annoying as hell. lol.

And she might be a...a...a man-bear-pig!!!! XD

I know Adel looks male, but since the game refers to her as a "she", it's definitely a female. A very manly female, but still, she's got the goods.

Adel was a woman?!?

I couldn't tell either. But just because she was a sorceress doesn't mean that she was female. That's just a title. Who's to say that she (it?) didn't just take the title of sorceress.

But here's another thought. Perhaps Adel was a manly hermaphrodite? If this were true, it might explain both the acquisition of the sorceress powers, which in canon are passed along a female line of succession, and the male body type.

Though it would take a much braver soul than I to walk up and lift her skirt, so to speak, to prove it.

I agree it's hard to tell, but as stated above she was referred to as "She" in the game. So yeah, a female, but definitely a freak.

I knew it was a she because of the fact the she was a sorceress, but there was part of me that thought I was being lied to...

Oh I like it, I wouldn't be surprised if the FF team to make her a hermaphrodite, with all the bizzare final bosses they come up with
