For instance, the Civ games are basically Whig History: The Game, presenting liberal capitalism as the ideal end point for all societies. It even includes uncivilized "barbarian tribes" whose sole purpose is to be exterminated so you can take their land for the glory of capitalism.
The way that Delita's story
play the game if you haven't dam
starts with him empathizing with a peasant's rebellion, then has him being extremely ruthless in his quest for power, and ends with him completely recuperated by the system and perpetuating it instead of reforming it like he set out to do is just :chefs-kiss:. Ramza escapes a Shakespearean death because he rejects the system and goes his own way, which is a bit individualist idealist but it's fine if you consider that the world as portrayed just wasn't ready for a true liberation movement.
It's unfortunate, seems like square had a brief moment of cool writers and now all they make is anime-derived tropic jrpgs. FF6 had an empire using cutting edge technology to do imperialism in a world on the verge on industrial revolution, FF7 had you play eco terrorists. Xenogears... Was trying to say something and is a good example of letting writers have a bit too much freedom.
Final Fantasy, all the way up through 10, had very strong anti-christian, anti-colonialist, and anti-imperialist themes. Gonna spoil tactics here:

Ramza is a crusader who finds concrete proof that Jesus is not the son of god. After dealing with the political fall out of simply having this proof (assassination attempts etc), Ramza finds Jesus to be a parasite on the world literally feasting on the blood of humanity
