There is no one of color in the games. It's like racial cleansing went down in the Squenix universe.

And I'm not protesting it. I think it's a fact of life when it comes to JRPGs.

... n... no. You're just. No. The LACK of non-whites/japanese in the games =/= rascism, do you get this? Not every-fucking-thing in life NEEDS to be multi racial.

Besides, if we're talking about our white-ppl-sensibilities, don't Japanese count? LOL Plus in fantasy videogames you're looking at races not of earth so technichally hi, multiracial XD

Okay.

I'm not going to get into a figth about this. I see your point and acknowledge it, but I still have my opinions on it.

Barret in FF7 is black. That's the only RPG I've played, so I don't know if there are more.

These games are made in Japan, though, which has an almost non-existent black population and a well-documented history of portraying black people in "sambo" like ways. I'm not saying it's good that Squeenix hasn't included many non-Japanese characters, but given their culture, I think it's at least easy to see why there aren't more.

Also, I think that people from Western countries need to realize the differences between their cultures and others a little more. Japan is not diverse the way the Americas or certain European countries are.
