The plot / writing feels like it was put together by a 13 year old, or maybe an AI. it's almost interesting, and almost makes sense, but doesn't. Things just sort of "happen", and they don't really make sense and aren't really explained. Character motivations are unclear. Also, the gameplay is shit.
The world they created is super compelling, which seems to always be the case with Final Fantasy games. I just wish they could make an actually good game to go with their top tier world building and art direction.
Apparently in FF16 mages are literally enslaved so i guess Square Enix doesnt want to feature black people?
Still that reeks of lazy copout like why the hell the mages gets enslaved in the first place, like sure a lot of them are weaker mages but given that even the mages that practically are gods like the dominants are treated like shit i dont understand why theres no single faction where the dominant decides the mages are free.
In one region where they hate mages the Dominant is treated like shit. In other regions the Dominants are rulers, either directly or indirectly
