POC representation

[Kiurai]

I swear the last 60% of threads on front page has been necros but no mod action to prevent this hrmm

Technically every character is a POC since it's made by Japanese people.

Please stop feeding this troll.

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.

You all are falling for the necro-posting of controversial threads just to get a reaction.

You did get one. The necro is done by one of their accounts.

OP's first post on the forums, talking about the lack of POC in a game made by, technically, POC (whatever that means, I'm going to assume not caucasian). Not to mention there's only one human race in game that could technically fall under this umbrella. A game, might I add, that has plenty of cultural diversity throughout the tribes and areas. Do I smell a troll?

Ok but the main cast except the WoL themselves are all Sharlayans.

Other that Hrothgar I don’t see too much underrepresentation of any race.
Maybe too much Lalafell, but hey more to eat.

More (female) Roegadyn!

while i agree that xiv has tonnes of representation in its npcs, it would be nice to have a scion that wasnt pale skinned with light coloured hair, just to have a more varied colour pallet. just an opinion tho.
