This is sounding more and more like a slash fic

...Hmph. Here I thought they were trying to take some risks.
Nope, marketing-centric custom-made-for-our-upstairs-suits garbage again.
Disregard my previous posts; there's nothing mature about hemming and hawwing about the intrinsic racism of your society, and MakoEyes is right, it would have been better just to decline to comment
"It's based on Medieval Europe" is a dumb excuse, and did I mention lots of us FF fans are in our 40's now? Just...
Stop making Final Fantasy games please

I'll say that in the full answer, his point about the game focusing on a small specific region of a larger world is a stronger one than "the world's based on Europe." More like, well, Game of Thrones that has regions of the world and people from the various regions look different from one another. As opposed to the Rings of Power strategy that takes a world that has such places but just sprinkles in the token diversity everywhere and says don't think about it.
That said, that only means the world building is more logical, doesn't really say anything about the story when it could easily involve those places or people from them. A Final Fantasy not involving the entire world is actually a pretty big departure in itself. Or, as stated, just not bother with it and just make the fantasy be a fantasy. If we've got airships, populations are lot more mobile than they'd have been in real Medieval times, so populations could very likely be more diverse like today.
And then from there the answer meanders into maybe even worse territory but that I don't even really understand. So, yeah, he'd have been better off just not saying anything at all I expected questions to be more about the lack of women, honestly.

Periodic reminder (not that anyone here really needs it) that Medieval Europe was pretty fucking diverse, probably more so than in later centuries. Even saying it's due to focusing on one country doesn't really make sense. If that's their logic, like Force said, airships exist? Also this seems to be a pretty war torn land presumably involving large numbers of people moving around and I just...
I mean I'm (hopefully) preaching to the choir here, but even if your excuse is that you're being accurate to medieval Europe (which already doesn't work for a fantasy world), that doesn't actually work because medieval Europe was pretty well connected, with a lot of movement of people and trade.

Like real talk, if Yoshi P had shut up and not said such a stupid answer, I'd have gone on thinking Hugo, the Titan dominant, was just a light-skinned POC. I mean, really.
Look at him.
LOL just. Come on. The most "European" FF series, Tactics & XII, somehow managed to have diverse as hell casts of characters. That's such horseshit. Europe, even in it's past, was diverse as fuck.
I'm still hyped for XVI. Hell, if this was a deal breaker for me, I'd have not enjoyed XV as much as I did. But it's such a braindead justification for a fantasy story. Not only that, but he's done better. XIV is testament to that.

do they know that you could literally walk on foot from europe to africa, to the middle east, to asia. they're all connected by land without some invisible forcefield stopping anyone from crossing. the umayyad conquest of iberia happened in the middle ages, european missionaries and merchants were in china, there was the crusades. it wasn't all neatly siloed-off homogenous nations that didn't interact. the historical/cultural/political/anthroplogical/whatever standards of the time also included relations between different people. especially if you're telling a story involving war, a classic way for civilizations to mingle.
also no one was summoning big giant magical monsters
it's disappointing to hear this line trotted out again. not a deal breaker since i'm used to it by now, but it's still a pretty passé answer. i doubt characters are going to be suffering from dysentery or lice. are you really being true to medieval europe if everyone isn't shitting blood and itchy all the time. even if it wasn't going to be a balanced cast, it wouldn't be a stretch to have a migrant neighbourhood in a larger city or something you visit during a quest, emissaries and ambassadors from different nations featuring in the story even if you don't explore those places in-game. because you're not actually making a documentary or something, this is a fictional story where you can make up whatever you want and there's already hundreds of medieval fantasies full of white psudo-europeans out there.
anyway 'kupka' is a moogle's name, pretty sure that's one of good king moggle mog's knights. is the twist going to be that he's the dominant for a moogle instead of titan

I'm confused, wasn't it confirmed it was only Clive? Awesome if true.
