Cristopher nothing is popular for picking a fight with a third of the world and pandering to another third. That's just annoying. 🐻There's st𒐪ories about political movements in a game world - but that's different than self-inserting narratives and propaganda about current real world political climate.

Fantasy🅠 games have fantasy countries with fantasy problems, not Earth problems. FF6's war revolved around magitech and Espers and the like, sure that is cool. Telling us about how bahamut identifies sexually🀅 is not cool and does not sale.

I mean sur🔯e most FFs have an empire, a resistance, an evil organization, something to that effect -- and they can all have different incarnations just like history. But yea indeed that's just world building.

It should never closely reflect polarizing issues of our time and break immersion or split player base. That'sꦜ not fun, not entertaining💛, bad art and bad business.
