Is Rikku a fairie

[sora's kingdom]

in kingdom hearts 2 Rikku was a farie and i just started final fansay x a little while ago and rikku isnt a farie does she become one or did they just make her one for this game?

The FF characters are justs "guests" in the KH world. She didn't necessarily become a fairy, but yes. She's a fairy in KH2.

I think Square described YuRiPa { Yuna, Rikku, and Paine } as 'sprites'. Whatever difference there is, they're certainly human in the FF games.

I'm guessing they didn't give their names because of the whole Rikku/Riku conflict.

 

[Darkest Riku]

yeah fairies and prites are different.

but I think rikku can be considered a fairy

 

[kao-chan]

So Yuna, Rikku and Paine showed up as faeries this time.
I've always wanted to have a FF character showing up as "something that looks human but isn't human" at least once. Since "Kingdom Hearts" is a deformed world, I wanted to have a little fun with that. And as a plus, if all three showed up in their normal human size, I was kind of worried that the screen might get a bit too crowded. At least I've aways thought that if I were to make them appear in the game, having them as faeries would make them as very interesting beings. I wasn't deeply involved with FFX-2 but from the impression I got of looking at them as an audience, their positions in this game is how I see them.
