According to Maria casts, unlike in some other PS games, are all cyborgs. Like robocops, only more agile.
How much meat is hidden inside those metallic bodies, do you think? Maybe pretty much, like in mortal kombat, where bionic bodies kinda coated with mettalic shielding. that would explain how they can drink mates.
Or just bits and pieces of organic here and there, like, again, in robocop. Brain of course and some basic organs to keep it alive.
Or, maybe yet again, only their brains remais intact, floating in a jar somewhere inside. Or taking if further: no organic at all, they just take someone's personality and digitize it to input into an artificial neuro-computer. So how can you tell that castified person is the same person, if a real person at all? :-o

they need to keep organ that produce photon remain.so it need at least 1 meat i think

I am guessing it is only their brain, or very little otherwise. They seem to be able to swap out any body parts, including their heads, as easily as changing clothing.

Yes, this, whatever influences in the photon affinity, they need to keep it, unless photon affinity is reached just by brainwaves, then a synthetic brain could work, but then they could literally mass produce CAST individuals with great photon affinity too. Oh wait, there's also that think some call "soul". Yep, photons is the right answer.

well it can't be brain because sara don't have it left at all

Brain casing ala this: [spoiler-box]http://i.imgur.com/xTONuOM.png[/spoiler-box]

Albeit minus the eyeballs, since CASTs apparently use a different kind of optic system.

Only way to explain why they can swap body parts at-will. Any other organs being present would make that a difficult process.

Yeah pretty much this.

Body types probably are just personal preference/ascetics.

Maria ,Lisa, Barbara, Fourier Frosty since there in a field mostly would want a frame thats durable .

While Astarte, Inana, Sierra, Henrietta, and the loli cast in Casino(Diana?) are mostly ship personal so they perfere a human body type.

R ember Lisa ramblings about the past she needed strong body to support her. Because she so strong with photons.

I would really love it if Sega went into more details regarding the cast race in general.

My first thought was that it's a Ghost in the Shell type thing. I imagine it can go from partly prosthetic to full prosthetic bodies. I remember Maria said CASTs are people who's ability to use Photons was so strong, it negatively impacted their bodies, so I feel like the amount of prosthetic would depend on how strong their ability is in the first place.

We know some Casts like Lisa used to be human, but aren't other Casts like Sierra completely artificial? She's just like PSU Casts, If I'm remembering story mode correctly.

Xierra is completely artificial in the sense that she was lab-grown and designed from the outset. I believe she's more of an artificial life form given an accelerated development period rather than a purely synthetic being of flesh and metal. But to be sure, they'd have to go into more detail on her birthing process, and I don't think they ever will.

I feel like Sierra is the only one who wasn't human originally, because I don't remember any reference to a completely artificial CAST in PSO2 until Sierra came along.
