That is a good point. They did specifically make her ambiguous, they wouldn’t have chosen a gender-preferance for her. But left it up to us to decide.

This is actually a fascinating counterpoint to the brouhaha over the issue of Jade’s race / ethnicity which got stirred up earlier this year. Personally, I had always thought Jade’s appearance was deliberately ambiguous / generically “exotic,” for lack of a better term (i.e., non-Caucasian, but not strongly “typed” as any particular race). But I’d never bothered to think about her sexuality one way or the other, since IIRC there’s no mention of her having a love life in the game. I wonder if the designers deliberately left that ambiguous as well…

I dunno, it would be cool, but what difference does it make if she’s not out in the game? It’s like this stupid Harry Potter – Dumbledore thing of JK saying he was gay.. no he wasn’t gay, he is gay now, but he wasn’t gay then, I’ve read all the books and I don’t recall him ever having a gay moment.
So really my point is, it would be great if Jade, or other characters were gay, but gay at the time they’re around, not after. I hope you all take my meaning.

A total dyke. Come on people! I thought this as soon as I got this game, which I think was way back on the PS2 from memory. I really liked this character because she was smart and tough without having to be slutty… can I say slutty? Oops, have now.
