POC representation

[RubixCube]

Notice how all the Scions are all Caucasian looking with light colored hair despite being of different fantasy races. This is probably what the Original Poster means.

They’ve been doing this since the beginning of Final Fantasy. Despite blonde hair being among least common globally, the main heroes will usually be blonde Caucasian.

Exactly. I can see a lot of ruffled feathers in this thread over the OP’s question, but there’s no denying that this game is very pale. Even the viera npcs have light skin.

We've not been to Meracydia, which is sort of the equivalent of Africa. Eorzea and the Far East appear similar to Europe and East Asia where natives have fair or brown skin, so it makes sense that very dark skinned people are rare.
