I think FFXIV should be more political actually

Excuse me while I flex my artistic spectrum, but why would Dr. Robotnik drag out his death egg when a perfectly useable Allagan deathegg is in space holding a giant dragon? Drop Eggman land on Tulloya and robotizie Alexandria along with Wuk! :^D

I am all for Eggman appropriating Allagan technology! Especially since many of the nodes are already conveniently egg shaped!

Although, at this point in history, Dalamud has already fallen so he can't use that. But what he CAN do is place his ship in orbit in the same place Dalamud used to be, sending the world populace into a panic.

A fantasy world, in my view should have wholly FANTASY issues or issues that make sense in the setting. Modern Earth social debates as an example, feel really out of place for me in games with wholly fantasy dynamics.

Has this ever been a thing in FFXIV, or are you tilting at windmills?

It was weird that the JP script used him/her for the faries in the first but the western localization turned them androgynous for no reason outside of brownie points. Though the western localization has always been shaky. Wonder when we will get to see the blue blood clan that the song Rise was talking about. :^)

It was a simple response to the original post, agreeing, yes, I welcome politics in game, as long as they stay away from real life topics and debates. I thought what I said was pretty simple and easily understandable. It has nothing to do with what FF has or has not included. The fact remains that it is an ongoing issue in games as a whole. Former series that used to be strictly fantasy, later adopted controversial, too real themes that divided the fans. I don't want that to happen here. No series is immune to the personal beliefs of the creators seeping into their work at too great a level. That's the reason for the caveat portion of my answer. I will be okay with it, until that happens. If it doesn't, all the better.

Can you give an example of politics done well in fantasy which bares no relation to real world politics?

I swear, do you people here just love looking for arguments to simple statements and opinions? I've been here for all of a day and already have people looking for confrontation over harmless opinion. No wonder I was warned away from interacting with the fanbase at all by several people who have played longer than I. There are plenty of fantasy stories with original ideas that have nothing to do with modern, first world political ideas. You are being purposely obtuse.

I'm just asking for an example from you. I don't see how that's being confrontational.

Why do you need an example if it isn't to attempt to pick it apart to find some loose correlation to something real? That is what this looks to clearly be.
