LOL why would I have white guilt? Last I checked my skin isn't white. Did I touch a nerve or something?

Jesus was brown, like most people living in middle east today.
I like that in modern world anyone that is slightly darker than typical European = black, while most people living in middle east and north atlfrica ale Caucasians with more melanin in their skin.

Why FFXVI? Why not the others FF then? Why not asking this for Tales of and Dragon quest too since, along with FF, these are the biggest JRPGs franchises in Japan?
My problem here is that woke people could basically get triggered over THIS game, while the rest of the series was always about white people with few exceptions here and there. I understand their fight and I'm not against it but.
1. As people here and elsewhere always tell them, can't they create their own game and not force other to include diversity?
2. IGN could've ask that question in a more appropriate way. I don't know something like: "World is changing and some people want representation nowaday. Is there going to be minorities represented in your game, and if not, do you plan to do it in the future?" maybe?
3. Why did they wait SO LONG in the game developpement to get offended?

Those guys really live rent free in your heads don't they. And no. We're clearly still talking about a Western audience.
Yes, the WILDLY unfair question of: "Hey, with a diverse audience that has played your games for decades, why are all the characters in this fantasy game, a game that you totally control the artistic and lore direction of, a game that is trying to inspire parallels to medieval Europe that absolutely had non-White residents and rulers, all of a certain melatonin persuasion."
. . .so totes unfair.

Yes, its their fantasy game, that they are totally in control of the artistic direction and lore. They wanted everyone to be white, because regardless of whatever misconceptions you have of what medieval europe looked like, its how they see it. So?
And what the fuck is 'melatonin persuasion'?
Established history is now a "misconception." We're really living in "my reality is best reality" times aren't we.
. . .and it absolutely is their property and they absolutely can make any game they want and I personally have no interest in playing a game from them made by committee; it is the justification of these design decisions that people are - rightly - calling out as bullshit.

my, you truly have no clue just how right you are.
thats your's, and theirs problem. And you know what? This'll still go on to become a best seller, so clearly 90% of the western audience has no issue with whatever cast choices they made.
