Final Fantasy 16 producer Naoki Yoshida has addressed the lack of diversity in Final Fantasy 16, specifically the lack of both ethnic diversity and women.
Speaking to IGN, Yoshida was asked to comment on responses to the latest trailer that features mostly white characters.
Yoshida admitted it was a difficult question to answer, but that the lack of diversity fits the “isolated nature of this realm” – Valisthea, where the game takes place.
“This is a difficult question, but not one that was unexpected, seeing as diversity in entertainment media has become a much-discussed topic as of late. The answer I have, however, may end up being disappointing to some depending on individual expectations,” he said.
