You’re right that creative works often reflect political ideas, and I don’t expect FFXIV to exist in a vacuum. My concern isn’t about politics in fiction in general, but about when very strong real-world activism from staff is expressed so publicly that it creates doubt among players about neutrality.

FFXIV has always been a space where people from very different backgrounds can enjoy the game together, and I’d just like to see that remain the focus rather than players worrying about outside agendas.
