Why are people of color sidelined in the story of FF14?

[Carin-Eri]

But games actually DO affect real life. Minorities who see themselves represented in media will become more likely to learn from these role models as they grow up. So yes, even in a fantasy land, representation is important.

Yes. I'm sure there are a great many people who wish to identify as a bipedal talking elephant. And if they choose to either wear brightly coloured robes, or refuse to wear anything at all, we should respect that too.

I also feel that we should not view the inability of those who identify as a Dragon to breathe fire as a disability.
