"issues" LMFAO
Obviously. I mean the main character can’t enter women’s bathroom.Are they gonna boycott Persona 3 Reload because shocking news most of the characters gonna be Japanese?
"So despite notable criticism and backlash online regarding the lack of diversity in the game, and square's continuously questionable response to the topic, it seems a lot of people are still planning to purchase FF16"
.) at the time of writing, over 1200 players have responded to the poll, but just 2.9 per cent – that's around 40 people – are intending to intentionally boycott the release
I don't agree with the claim of the developer regarding how they came to that conclusion considering how inaccurate that actually is (Europe literally having hundreds of years of trading with different nations and races)
The game has so many fantastical elements, different creatures, magic etc, I don't really buy having different races was some wild idea compared to everything else in the game.
I also don't see it enough to boycott the game either as I don't think they did this out of hate or to hurt anyone, their reasoning merely sounds ignorant to what the Medieval era was.
They may be petty and a minority,but they hold real power, since the POTUS and his administration spread the same bullshit everywhereWhen will the industry learn that they are the minority?
You're a Dick, Jones.
I wish I had known earlier. Fuck. I played the demo and enjoyed the game. I should have looked deeper rather than preorder a game based off a great demo.
Well, the same Eurogamer seems like a good candidateThe only question I have is who are going to be the 1-2 losers who are going to give mixed/bad review scores for the game, because "muh inclusion".
LOL this is going to be huge.
I said this in the other thread but feel it's worth repeating. SquareEnix not putting forced diversity into their game especially darker skinned people was the right decision. Unless you think modern western civilities would be ok with black people being branded "SLAVES" and called as such in the game. This game is very political and you get a whole slave and massa scene in the demo. There is another scene where a guy treats Clive like a whole ass slave in the promotional material. This was a good call.I don't agree with the claim of the developer regarding how they came to that conclusion considering how inaccurate that actually is (Europe literally having hundreds of years of trading with different nations and races)

No future like a dragon game can feature an all Asian cast. We need a token black or white person in there or it’s racist. Even if it doesn’t match up with the story, we need them in there.So it has been decided that no piece of media ever going forward can feature an all white cast......because that's racist......what complete bullshit,fuck off!
SquareEnix not putting forced diversity
So you're saying people would be ok with black people being treated as subservient and called slaves in a video game?The time they are talking about in Europe had people of many different races, that isn't an argument of anything being "forced"
Gamers call for boycott of FF16
How so? The branded are slaves. Hard stop. That's it. They are even called slaves in the game. I really don't think calling people of color that term would go over well with "modern audiences".The time they are talking about in Europe had people of many different races, that isn't an argument of anything being "forced"
The rest of your post is wildly exaggerating the comment...
Social engineering at its worst.They may be petty and a minority,but they hold real power, since the POTUS and his administration spread the same bullshit everywhere

Such as? Iberian Peninsula, Regnum Hungariae and the Sultanate of Rum are the only ones I can think of, and that's barely. The Vikings also made lots of trade and lived in Europe, like in the Kingdom of Sicily and also the Duchy of Normandy, but I don't see Vikings in the game. Just stop.The time they are talking about in Europe had people of many different races, that isn't an argument of anything being "forced"

That is how you get clicks these days.Why does it matter? I guess this worked because eurogamer got clicks.

It's my turn? it's my turn

Given it's Resetera, I assume they're banning anybody who votes "No".
Giving that bunch of reeetards visibility is already disqualifying in itselfTo be fair, even the comments section on EuroGamer are dunking on this and dunking on ResetEra, the top comment is:
Also EuroGamer never practice what they preach, for a website that seems so intent on pushing diversity they have the whitest staff list around, there was even a joke years back that anytime EuroGamer gets new staff you can bet your ass it's always a White Woman.
