It does talk about income inequality, I guess.And climate change.
FF7 starts off very political then later becomes more just a typical supervillain situation.Eh, sephiroth is definitely a bit more of an esoteric connection than when shinra were the main villains, but he's still very much in line with the environmentalism/anti capitalist themes.
just in MidgarYes, exactly.
Xenoblade 3 is a political game. (Hell, all of them are to some degree.)
I feel like in the pushback against alt-right whiners, people overcorrected and make some games sound a lot more political than they are.Shinra is actually a very direct reference to a big Japanese Zaibatsu sort of corporation. The name literally translates to "God Web" or "God Network" , so basically God Corporation, which is the role they basically serve in the story. Japanese love killing gods in fiction, and Jenova (Neo-Jehova) also fits this theme for FFVII
There are certainly political themes of environmentalism in FF7, but narratively speaking Shinra is just the archetypal "evil empire" but with a dystopic corpo aesthetic, so the politics feels incidental rather than actually trying to commentate on anything. And pretty much every "political" slant of the story goes away after Sephiroth shows up and the story becomes "chase the dark wizard trying to blow up the world".
The sole exception to this being Barret's backstory, which is pretty a good anti-corporation story that ironically extols the tragedy of technology making coal obsolete. >_>
3 had such a great start and a great chapter 5. The concept was so interesting, but the ending was mehI can agree to an extent, it probably had the weakest last part of the game compared to the other Xenoblades. (Even X, on virtue of it finally having a semblance of story compared to the rest of the game) Still thought it was a pretty good ending though.

It'd be so hilarious if every game developer put a small rainbow flag somewhere in their games so that these people would literally be able to play *nothing* lmfao
At that point they should just stick to minesweeperThey would probably complain about it being anti war propaganda because your removing mines

So Buck Up And Drive actually kind of did this.Xd priceless
The game had various LGBTQ+ flags on billboards. Some people lost their shit, so the dev announced a toggle switch would be eventually patched in.
What they didn't say was that the toggle switch only increased their frequency, there was no way to remove them outside mods.
