They would have accused it of being racist, definetly.
I agree with those who say that they would certainly have been accused of racism. A game where all the major human characters are white, except for the thieving, womanising monkey-boy? Hell, I'd probably consider that racist myself.
Screw the tail, make him a big black dude who swears constantly and carries the biggest gun he possibly can, everywhere he goes!
On his arm perhaps?Quote:

I feel like i know this from somewhere..
Would it have been racist in intent? Not necessarily, no.
Would it have been accused of being racist? Oh, hell yes.
Not being racist or anything - But I thought FF Games were like set in Japanese? And in those days (Medievil based) there weren't many foreigners.. So no joke but why would there be lots of black people in FFIX if it's sposed to be Japanese a few hundred years back?
^No, final fantasy games are set in a fictional Universe(s), not Japan.
FFIX is set on the planet Gaia so Square were free to create what they like.

^Id say the characters look Western. But the terrain seems pretty varied to me. The North Pole is the part of our world, not America, after all.
But yeah, the worlds in FFs are similar in style to our world as a whole.
Africa's climates are quite varied as well. My parents just got back from a well digging project in rural Ghana, which is tropical, while the north is Mediterranean and desert, while the far south is temperate, quite similar to Europe. Not to mention the Savanna grasslands. I've seen most of those climates in the FF series.
What is less visible in these games is traditional African achitecture. The heaviest influence there seems to be European, with a lot of traditional Japanese thrown in (Wutai in FFVII for example).
I meant like big savannahs and places like that, in FF games there's nearly always: Western Style, A frozen wasteland, A desert, A chinese/japanese style city or vendor, a freaky scenery for the boss fight at the end.
I don't think tbh I've ever seen a savannah or anywhere like that o.0
