    If I'm remembering it right FF9 has you fighting against an expansionist imperial empire.

    And FF7 starts you off as literal eco-terrorists fighting a corporate oligarchy.

    ...Has Final Fantasy been based this whole time without me noticing?

      In FFT you basically stage a peasant revolution against the church.

        Then your peasant-born buddy becomes king and turns into a class traitor.

      FF12 and FF15 are also about fighting empires, but unfortunately it's in the name of monarchies. Killing god in FF10 is cool though

        FF12 was about the cycle of violence between warring states, which benefit a few powerbrokers at the expense of everyone else.

        FF15 was literally just Entourage: The JRPG, and was probably one of the worst entries in the franchise even before you consider how the game collapsed on itself in the later chapters.

      yeah there's a lot of that in ff. ff4 has you banding together to tackle a corrupt government which leads to discovering a crazy conspiracy where the world is being taken over by aliens.

      ff6 banding together to tackle a corrupt imperialist government abusing/enslaving minorities, having the world get nuked and having to band together again to take down a global dictator.
