Is this seat taken, little girl? (gender confusion)

[Chris_Lightfellow]

I always thought Quincy looks female for sure

As did I. They didn't really reveal his gender through conversation either and there's no in-game full portrait for us to see. Made it very difficult. He looked like an ugly woman who was angry or something.

Not exactly gender confusion but Rahal looked kind of cute(in a non-homosexual way) when he posed as a woman in Suikoden V. If he was like that throughout the entire game, I would had confused him more than likely.

He looked better than his sister, that's for sure. I think he and his sister should switch genders. I loved his quote after he cross-dressed too, about using beauty if you have it. Ugh, I need to replay that game sometime soon.

The only one I ever mistook was Shula from Suikoden V...
When Lucretia told me to go meet "him" I literally stopped and went,"Wait, who am I going to see? I thought I was going to see Shula.." After several minutes of contemplation I decided to go meet Shula and forget this mysterious "him" and then I learnt that Shula was a him and later on sent his icture to friends and asked them if that was a girl or a guy.

They all said girl.

I'm not sure what quote let me know Rico from S3 was a girl but I just finnaly found that out. I would have never guessed Rico was a girl especialy the way Fred treated her/him.

[Blutiger Engel]

Ah, forgot about Rico! The name doesn't help, either, as I've heard Rico as a male name before. Her build is pretty boyish too.

Yeah I dont know if you played Xenogears on PS1 but they had a guy who looked like Blanka from Street Fighter whos name was Rico and he was a male. I still don't remember the quote where it says Rico from S3 is a she or a her but I definitly realized when I went to Caleria in Chris Chapter3 that Rico was one of my only party members who could equip Leather Pumps. I haven't seen one male character thats able to equip those. Then again as many times as I played through the game I haven't changed my main party members too often. I probaly use the same 20 or so characters everytime in various combinations.

[Blutiger Engel]

Yes, I have played Xenogears. Big difference between those two Ricos That certainly could have confused anyone about her gender who has played both games.

In the first Suikoden, I thought Quincy was a girl. And i couldn't tell what Luc was for some reason. And Kasios. I thought Kasumi was a little boy at first.
In Suikoden II, I never had a problem, really. I was a little confused with Zamza at first. And even Hanna. But I think that's it.
Suikoden V, I thought Shula was a girl for the longest time, until I noticed someone refer to him as a 'he'. And I thought Maha was a man.

[Blutiger Engel]

Apparently Rubi is a man. I never knew this until a few days ago. The long hair and the name threw me way off.

Well, his attitude gave it away imo...

Ok, who wants every man to wear a moustache in the games? Lepant is a prime example of a man, imo

[Blutiger Engel]

I just figured he was one of those tough women. I never thought for a second that he was a man at any point in the game.

Not every male character would look good with a mustache, though it would sure help out with the gender confusion of adults

Suikoden V, I thought Shula was a girl for the longest time, until I noticed someone refer to him as a 'he'. And I thought Maha was a man.

I thought the same thing at first and I was absolutely sure that they had accidentally switched the dialogue lines around.

I also thought until the end of Suikoden IV that Adrienne was a guy.

Oh yes, Adrienne! I wasn't so sure, either, at least until Tactics when she has some dialogue lines. Adrienne could also have been a faulty romanization of adrien, so you're never sure.

KASIOS IS A FEMALE!!!!!!!!


I'm playing through my old save on suikoden one, and i believe in old book 6 it says, verbatum:

"Kasios - Ballader. Deeply in love with Milich, to whom she sings."


I think it's old book 6....the one with the profiles of some characters in it.

[Blutiger Engel]

Heh, funny Gray, because on Senso this one member says that it says Kasios is male in some publication, and he keeps correcting everyone. I guess we'll never know

I love your avatar, by the way
