60 years? im pretty sure final fantasy 15 from a few years ago didn't have blacks either. In fact i'd say most games didnt randomly shove blacks in to everything until maybe 5 or 6 years ago. Leftists sure love to exaggerate everything.
My first FF, 4, had no black characters. I paid it no mind.
My second FF, 7, had a prominent black main character. I paid it no mind.
I wish so badly I could go back and just not have to care about the exact percentage of black people in fucking everything. I would also accept every anti-white racist killing themselves. Either is perfectly fine.
Also video games haven't been a thing for 60 years. 60 years ago was 1963. That's pre-pong.
Are they saying something Final Fantasy did was so horrendous it's actually going to be nearly a decade til gaming gets back to its very first year? Wow a bit of a drama queen
Final Fantasy has actually been at the forefront of "random black characters" in its games for a long time. They do it with all sorts of races, accents, and ethnicities seemingly at random who will be major, side, and background characters this go around.
Which is why its still hilarious that they are mad at the one time a chocolate wasn't on display during the one time they paid attention.
Why isn’t it sufficient to tell these people “don’t like it, don’t play it”. Also, when stories or games all have to be diverse in the same exact way doesn’t that get boring over time? This is precisely why I bought Kingdom Come even though I don’t like first person. It was so refreshing to see a developer not back down
Because their intention is to slander and libel to get others to stop playing. They were never going to play it, because the problem is that you are playing it.
This is an expression of power over you.
Telling them "don't play it" to someone who already doesn't play it doesn't mean anything. The correct response is the one they give you when you, when you ask them why they celebrated 64 Catholic Churches being burned in a Red Terror campaign in Canada back in 2021.
"Fuck you. Kill yourself."
Don't be kind to these people. They want you broke, they want you homeless, they want your wife dead, your children raped, and they think it's funny. They do not deserve respect, nor tolerance, nor patience, nor empathy, nor mercy, nor an explanation. They won't be giving you any either.
You get it and that's the point, SJWs are not fucking gamers, they never have been and they never were. Surely people still remember when Anita Sarkeesian got blatantly posing with her 'collection' among other bits of fakery?
These people are on the level of polygon games journalists in the gaming world, to call them casual is an insult to casuals because at least casuals play games normally once in awhile. I think I remember one time some fucking gaming journalist posting up his 'rig' and getting mocked for it then trying to decry it as rig shaming. They are the classic concern trolls trying to gatekeep a hobby they don't take part in and make a power play against those that do to have the industry changed to their preference.
It's worse than that. It's all of them. The entire Leftist intelligentsia and activist class. All of them, in everything that they do.
These people are the inevitable result of a totalitarian zealot: they are nothing but an extension of their ideology. They are not operating as people on an individual level, and are not contributing to anything they are participating in. They are merely just an audio-recording of someone else, replaying incessantly, at an extreme volume; and they are conditioned to hate you more than their own desire to survive.
Concern trolling is merely one and only one tactic. They have a plethora of tactics, but their broken, servile, resentment-mongering self remains the same.
Same, though I must say, it was a struggle to figure out how to play, then I kept making all sorts of bad mistakes and taking bad routes (it is NOT exploration friendly). I didn't last long, but it's still in my library if I decide to go back.
KC:D is not Skyrim. You can't just sod off from the main quest as soon as the rails come off and expect to be okay. The combat training at the beginning is basically necessary to learn how to fight effectively, and you'll never be able to superhero your way through hordes of enemies.
Oh, I certainly found that out when I decided to pursue a lead on something, but I forgot to report in to my lord before I had done so. He was pissed. Hell, I think it even was main story related.
Japanese Game Developers shouldn't even accept interviews by Westerners anymore. If I got asked that question about diversity in the game, I would just walk out of the interview immediately. There is no reason to even entertain the idea of answering a completely loaded question like that.
European cities could be worldly. That's not the reason there weren't any blacks around. The reason there weren't any blacks is until slavery there weren't many blacks traveling. They stayed "down there." Ethiopia had on and off again contact with them Mediterranean world. The rest of SS Africa didn't.
Sigh.. wokies use to argue back in the day that creativity should never be restricted. Anyone hoo haa can write whatever the fuck they want and if people don't like it they shouldn't buy it. But now since they have majority control of mainstream content, all the sudden there's strict rules that every author must follow least they be branded a bigot. Fuck this people.
Blacks are just 13% of US population, and on top of that their lack of money makes them a much smaller percentage of paying customers.
It's completely logical that marketing to them is not a concern. That's not a conversation from sixty years ago, that's a conversation from 2014. Media should cater to its consumers.
You’re talking about a subset of a subset. If I market a product to that segment of the population and I find, say, 10 black super consumers who each spend $100 on the special edition and $200 on various microtransactions, I still don’t make as much money as I would have if I had courted a customer base of 50 white average consumers people who each buy the $60 standard edition and $20 of various microtransactions.
And that’s assuming that there’s no overlap and no white super consumers, which is untrue. The amount of black super consumers who would buy Final Fantasy XVI if it had been in fantasy Africa may be a slightly larger number than would buy this version, but the latter number is certainly not zero, because the determining factors for a purchase are mostly going to be things like “are they into gaming” “do they like this type of game” and “do they have a machine that can play the game,” rather than “are there enough blacks.” Which is not to deny the existence of the black racialist group, just to say that I don’t know how much overlap it has with the black video game enthusiast group.
dont think they gonna make the same mistake as their sister dev company, luminous, with Forspoken lol. seems most black centric games or games that emphasizes zoomer blacks flop hard lol. saints row reboot, redfalls, forspoken. i havnt heard much about Dead Island 2.
Is Dead Island 2 a zoomer black character or protagonist? Mostly what I’ve heard about it is “reasonably competent zombie game.” I don’t think I could even tell you the broad strokes of what any specific character in it looks like.
There was also that article about it being banned in the Middle East, though, and unconfirmed rumors that that was because of a gay relationship with some degree of sexual content. Buying FFXVI to own the anti-whites could end up like Hogwarts Legacy (which despite being hated by the left has a stunningly diverse 1800s, a pick-your-pronouns character creator, and a troon in its cast) all over again.
its unconfirmed rumours. Unconfirmed. Im not sure why people dont just come out and just say what the issue actually was. Personally i think we should only judge the game when it actually comes out.

Barret was a single dad raising someone else's kid!
Also he had a machine gun for an arm but who cares about such superficial things as tha- oh, wait. 🙄
Specifically, his buddy's kid, who ALSO had a gun for an arm.
FF6, he wasn't so prominent, but I'm fairly certain General Leo was black.
Also video games haven't been a thing for 60 years. 60 years ago was 1963. That's pre-pong.

Spacewar! came out in 1962.
White pixels
What, no black pixels?
Just ~30-35 years until gaming is back to a good point again.

Here's your black representation in FF. Barret and Sazh. Both lovable goofs.
Also both competent and emotionally-driven single fathers.

It's really funny how their obsession with "medieval pocs" entirely, but really completely, ignored all the Cumans.
I’ll have to look them up
Introduction to the game will have them look your village up.
Good to see you, Henry!
Nice. Think I'll play through Kingdom Come Deliverance again. (a game that was apparently made in 1963)
I bought that game mainly because the creator didn’t apologize
Same, though I must say, it was a struggle to figure out how to play, then I kept making all sorts of bad mistakes and taking bad routes (it is NOT exploration friendly). I didn't last long, but it's still in my library if I decide to go back.

Yea, as a man who loves Skyrim that game was a tough adjustment for me
I thought about playing that game, but A woman's lot exists and now I'd rather stick pins in my eyes.
Weird how that game is praised as unwoke for prioritizing women's whining over black people's. He still sold out.
So don't play A woman's lot?
Psst, don't tell him that you can burn the woman at the stake in that mission.
But I'd still be funding the enemy by buying the base game.
Who the fuck isn't your enemy at this point?
The schizo who invaded a TV station to broadcast his dream for a White-Only, Gay-Only Ethnostate?
Talk about Isle of Man.
Is that actually a thing that happened?
Saw it in a Count Dankula video. Can't be bothered to source it
Tough question. I've constantly been modifying my boycott lists, trying to find a line to draw.
Japanese Game Developers shouldn't even accept interviews by Westerners anymore. If I got asked that question about diversity in the game, I would just walk out of the interview immediately. There is no reason to even entertain the idea of answering a completely loaded question like that.
Imagine if you only read the media and therefore thought Americans were all woke, diaper soiling faggots.
Sets video games back 60 years? So a decade before pong?
Medieval (((Venice))) was so diverse, bigots.
European cities could be worldly. That's not the reason there weren't any blacks around. The reason there weren't any blacks is until slavery there weren't many blacks traveling. They stayed "down there." Ethiopia had on and off again contact with them Mediterranean world. The rest of SS Africa didn't.
I don't think that history is even right. Also, being a history teacher is not that impressive.

This is actually the most hyperbolic and ignorant YouTube Thumbnail ever, and that is really saying something.
Hell, racial segregation signs say: "No Coloreds Allowed". It's plural. They can't even get grammar right.
Blacks are just 13% of US population, and on top of that their lack of money makes them a much smaller percentage of paying customers.
It's completely logical that marketing to them is not a concern. That's not a conversation from sixty years ago, that's a conversation from 2014. Media should cater to its consumers.
Inserting blacks into media isn't to appeal to black people, it's to appeal to whites and atheist Jews who worship blacks.
It's not done to appeal to customers. Don't forget the "Burgers."
Except that the blacks who do have money are super product consumers.
You’re talking about a subset of a subset. If I market a product to that segment of the population and I find, say, 10 black super consumers who each spend $100 on the special edition and $200 on various microtransactions, I still don’t make as much money as I would have if I had courted a customer base of 50 white average consumers people who each buy the $60 standard edition and $20 of various microtransactions.

Saints Row and Redfall both featured zoomers with student debts as most prominent parts of their characters.
Is Dead Island 2 a zoomer black character or protagonist? Mostly what I’ve heard about it is “reasonably competent zombie game.” I don’t think I could even tell you the broad strokes of what any specific character in it looks like.
They really hate white people.
So “colored” is an okay word again? Or is that only for the Elect?
Does this mean games get good again
60 years ago, they'd be playing the game on a notepad with a pen and paper.
I haven’t even liked ff since 1999 but now I need to buy it.
Don't be baited into consuming out of spite. You still lose.

I fully agree; my point is merely that there is, at this point, no guarantee that the game is based, or even that it doesn’t have woke stuff in it.
Fair enough.
