This is an issue not only in Final Fantasy, but in video games in general. It's even more surprising to me with Japan that despite being an Asian country there are a ton of Caucasian representation in their games. There is so much potential in branching out among other races and ethnicity, but all Japan does is go off of material from Europe and occasionally Japan.
Is there some fascination with Caucasians over there? The exotic thing sounds like a bs excuse to me because I would think that would apply to like every non-European country out there excluding North America and Australia, but you don't see India for example constantly putting those images within their media. Japan also has a B-style following, but as far as games go no representation of that.
They are missing so much by not tapping into mythology and settings from around the world. They could make a RPG set in ancient Egypt, an RPG based on Yoruba mythology, an RPG set in the antebellum South, South America, a Hip-Hop RPG
