Tales of Arise makes the very controversial political statement that slavery is bad.

But the game is so bad I have to question everything about it.

More like 50% of them, but yeah. Compound that with the corrupt church officials usually operating as a form of government within the world.

I expect it to be one of those "gamefaqs hate everything" moment, but why do you hate the game?

It's usually an evil empire or a singular BBEG. Church is a minority among antagonists.

Just about anything with a plot is at least a little bit political.

Even plots that try not to be political end up becoming political solely because of that.

Before it gets into JRPG moon bullshit, Tales of Arise starts off like it's examining different forms of tyranny. It comes really close to having not just politics, but interesting politics! But then steers away.

yeah, I was pretty disappointed. It was like, will a Tales game be mature for once? The answer, only the first 20 minutes. :\

Even midway into the third area, I felt like it was really promising in that department.

The "different ways to enslave people" thing Arise was doing with its regions was a neat concept, but I felt like they were very simplistic about it and veered more into cliche or corny at times.

Didn't help that all of the protagonists felt very cookie-cutter as well.

Can only comment on FFX. I'd say yes, though specifically focused on theocracy.
