Dude states FFXVI sets back gaming 60 years with racism

[winb83]

When they make games with black characters we get Sazh and Barret. In all honesty I'd rather they just not.

Wake me up when they have the same energy for Zelda and the whole Nintendo line up.

Yoahi’s answer about diversity was bull shyt though. I don’t care that there are no black people in the game but don’t feed me bs.

It’s obvious why this game is under extra scrutiny when all videogames are 99% white.

To be fair, Zelda has a race of brown skinned people.

The Dhalmekians in this game are brown skinned too, its literally the same thing. Thats like every japanese game at this point

I never viewed Gerudo as black people, there’s just always the “brown exotic” people they insert into these games

Every brown skinned character in a mainline Final Fantasy game has either died or a walking stereotype.

The only one that’s an anomaly is Fran, the brown sexy bunny from FF12.

Hugo isn’t white, people don’t even follow the game just wanna troll

Game has just as much “black” people as every other game yall play on here, including zelda, xenoblade, any other japanese game sans street fighter.

Anyone with tan skin is considered black in anime though, its not actual representation

That is a tanned Bruce Willis.

That's a stereotype of black women being sexualized.

stan wench rabbits, brehs

Damn, good point.

There’s actually no good black representation in Final Fantasy games.

Hell even the black guy in Parasite Eve gets set on fire to help a bio engineered white woman cop.

I'm just not looking to the Japanese who have limited to no exposure to black people to be some beacon for black representation in their works. Usually when they try the results are horrendous.

He makes a good point on those efforts specifically as well, which I also agree on.

I didn't view Gerudo as black people, but Indian or middle eastern. Which is why I said brown.

Just wait till The Mad Titan enters this thread

Imo this isn’t an excuse anymore. These are worldwide products with teams working from around the world.

Plus it’s not like they made a game with a bunch of japanese people.

They purposely chose that white skin to sell the game. None of the characters are actually culturally accurate. They are just all very white.
