I don't know who that male character is, but he looks exactly like Cloud with red hair.

Nomura is directing FFXIII Versus; this Toriyama dude appears to be the director of the main FFXIII game. At first glance I thought he was Akira Toriyama, but that's obviously not correct. (He's probably busy enough with the Dragon Quest series, anyway).

Shaders are specific units in a graphics card (or the PS3 in this case) who provide special calculations for specific elements in graphics. A more well-known term would be cell shaders, and these shaders are often seen in effects like reflections (in water etc), or cartoony-looking games. FFXIII looks like it's using those cartoony-like shaders, although not as over the top as other games like the Wind Waker / Walker (dunno which one, that older GC Zelda game).

You're all right in that the character does resemble Cloud. God damn Nomura, get some ****ing creativity! You used to be so good, dammit! Everything in FFVII and FFVIII was so awesome, but you ****ed up! /Rant.

All of the characters in Advent Children looked alike but with different hair and shirts. They all have the same pants and underwear though. They even wear the same cologne. Clever labor-saving techniques.

Anyway, how do people not know that it's a girl? Haven't you all seen the hi-res trailor with the high-res tits?

You can definitely tells it's a woman, albeit an androgynous one.
