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

Or burn it all to the ground. I ain't your mother. You guys do what is fun for ya.

Raughban is a POC and a main character. He is not a member of the scions but for years he has been in the forefront of the MSQ. It is even more apparent in Stormblood which introduced several POC that were sidelined or quest characters.

I think people really just want a fresh new diverse cast that isnt white washed.

And how much screentime did Raubahn have compared to Lyse? Lyse, a white-washed Ala Mhigan (when most Ala Mhigans have dark skin) has 5x the screen time as Raubahn.

You can’t be their mother when you’re their daddy

Well there is a Castle's Mega Store ( Adult Store ) literally across the street from where I live...I could pick up some leather chest straps and be a Leather Daddy by the end of tomorrow.

I mean my WoL hasn’t been sidelined yet.

It’s probably the beard. They can’t detected the melanin beneath.

100% stealth.

You can make your character black. There you go. You have your PoC main character.

The world isn't a melting pot of people no matter how much you would like to believe it . America as whole is but in it's parts not so much . Diversity and inclusion is just a myth of the hollywood realm to cater to your fragile sensibilities .

There is a lot of diversity as far as I can see but I see it with the different cultures ,beliefs and fashions this game represents, if you can't see it you're just racist lol

As far as Y'stola is concerned she just went GOTH baby and I can totally relate to her !! Im Middle Eastern/ Siberian and I tell you what, when I was a kid I used to love going out and playing outside and I was always in the sun and dark skinned. Then in my teens I pretty much stopped going outside when I got into art, music and gaming in the 90's and my skin tone pretty much went pale white within a year (the Siberian part of me prolly ) to the point unless I told you my name most people didn't realized I was arabic in the first place .

You can also make them into many races not normally seen in Eorzea, giving you your minority representation. How many AuRa/Viera/Hrothgar do people see in Eorzea on the daily?
