We need more games with non-human protagonists.

I say this a lot but I was just thinking about how Final Fantasy IX has very few human party members

FFIX spoilers 

I'm pretty sure Steiner and Amarant are the only human party members in that game, though Eiko, Dagger, and Zidane all _look_ human at first glance

Vivi's a black mage, which are sort of robots/magical constructs in this setting, Zidane is a Terran, Eiko and Dagger are both summoners (a distinct species from human in this setting), Freya's a burmecian (anthro rat, basically), Quina is a Qu (who knows what they are)

I'm not really so sure that Amarant is human, either

Oh, Beatrix is another human who is a temporary party member (and disappointingly temporary at that, she's a very well written character who I wish had more of a chance to have her story told)
