Yeah, yeah, picking on easy targets. Still, I wanted to point this out.
In GGXXAC+ story mode, when you select your character, it gives you a short bio of them -- in-universe, it's supposed to be the PWAB's file on them. The first screen involves information like name, height, weight, birthday, blood type (because after all the game was made in Japan), and... "type".
What is "type", you ask? Well, here are the types for all the characters:
( Boring list )
So it's some weird combination of species/ethnicity/nationality that is applied quite inconsistently. Bridget is "English" while Axl is "Human/English", despite the fact that they're both human. Justice is type "Gear" despite not being the only Gear on the list -- but Dizzy is just listed as "non-Human" while Testament is listed as "Swiss"! Not exactly the most relevant information! (Sol is just listed as "Human(?)", but it's entirely possible the PWAB isn't aware he's a Gear; I get the idea that few people are, in-universe.) Similarly Eddie is listed as Spanish; seems like they've forgotten this is Eddie and not Zato. Meanwhile, A.B.A is listed specifically as "Homunculus", while Dizzy and Slayer are just "non-Human", and Robo-Ky gets the unhelpful designation of "Humanoid".
You could try to justify this in-story by saying the PWAB's files are quite disorganized, but somehow I don't think that's the reason for this.
