Alternate Elemental Interpretations
Well it's color is green, if that means anything at all.
Actually all my elements are like that, I leave it up to the player to decide what to call each element. For the sake of sanity and so the player knows what type works against what, I'll use colored symbols and you could just call them by their name. For example, the player might say "red stuff works against that monster but it absorbs all the yellow stuff".
It's actually much like Chrono Cross if you think about it. It does go Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, White, Black, but what's weak and strong against what is different for every enemy. No one or piece of equipment HAS an element, it just has what it defends, is weak against, etc.
In Chrono Cross, Blue and Red oppose each other. But in my game, blue stuff doesn't always work on anything that's fiery, or even looks like it might be red. Sometimes blue stuff is negated. Just because you're fighting some monster that's always on fire doesn't mean blue is the smartest thing to use on it. In Earthbound, there was that Carbon Dog, for example- If I remember properly, it's speed went way down when turned crystal, but its defense went way up.

I don't have wind, I've got instead something I don't have a name yet for. But of course, none of them really have any specific names.

Oversexualization of Females in Games
Heehee ^^
Well. I'm not cold, I'm actually quite warm and feeling. I'm just very cynical and abstract. You're talking to someone who calls their own body a meat puppet and grateful I have a body at all. These things are pretty hard to come by, you know. You know, one of the Genome Clones from FFIX said that same line: "If we didn't have genders, we would lack the genetic diversity to survive".
I mean, you do at least enjoy eating good food and having sex, right? While we must eat food or we die, and that we can't reproduce on our own, it kind of makes it fun to enjoy the taste of food and to find someone else to make love to.
Of course, personally I would rather like the company and warmth of another person I like.

I actually have already said it's almost purely cultural (clothes, language, etc.), but even then, it seems pretty homogeneous in the conversations people have passing through our transit center every day. I love to listen to conversations all the time of people from all cultures, races, genders, or whatever.
However, I've experienced many times over that your physical body is removed when you encounter someone on the internet and that their gender is very difficult to try and derive. You can use cultural differences to make yourself 'appear' as a specific gender- but you have to remember it only works on members of the culture you're attempting to appear to. There might be someone you think is a female over the internet and someone else might think they are a male.
Like I said, gender is there really just for genetic diversity- you can't have sex with yourself, and then reproduce. It forces you to find genetic information from someone else if you ever hope to reproduce. I strongly feel (i remind you, with an iron mind that's so thick you're not going to get through to me on this if you try to persuade me otherwise) is that either gender can do whatever they want and become what they want- for anyone it takes willpower. Especially to combat the cultural traditions of gender roles- that's kind of the issue that started this whole movement.
The most important thing to remember is that you're making a video game and you can ignore real life totally if you really want to. The only thing you really need to worry about is character diversity and to have everyone act different from each other. Don't write your dialog like every character in the game is talking like you do, that is something I found myself doing sometimes.

You wouldn't fight a sand golem with a wooden stick, you'd use growth. Trees can spit the earth easily as they grow.
This whole argument is awesome for being RPG nerdy.

I don't know about you two but men and women talk much like people to me. Especially since they use words and grammar (to some degree).
ARF! ARF!
Honestly though, everyone talks different regardless of gender and it's kind of bad when every single character in a game talks like every other character.

... "Oh noes, not a wooden staff, wood grows from the ground, so a wooden staff is my bane." I'm right in saying that that doesn't make sense. ...
You've never seen a tree before have you?
