Here's why some players plan to boycott Final Fantasy 16

https://reurl.cc/Ye0a54


Some Final Fantasy players have revealed they plan to boycott Final Fantasy
16 due to the development team's "continuously questionable response" to the
lack of diversity in the game

一些FF玩家透露，由於開發團隊對遊戲缺乏多樣性的“持續可疑反應”，他們計劃
抵制FF16

Last November, producer Naoki Yoshida addressed the lack of diversity in an
interview, and the response did little to assuage the concerns of Black and
minority ethnic players.

去年 11 月，製作人Naoki Yoshida在接受采訪時談到了缺乏多樣性的問題，
這一回應並沒有緩解黑人和少數民族玩家的擔憂

In direct response to this, some players are now planning to "boycott Final
Fantasy 16 due to the lack of diversity and minority characters".

作為對此的直接回應，一些玩家現在正計劃“由於缺乏多樣性和小眾角色而抵制FF16”

"So despite notable criticism and backlash online regarding the lack of
diversity in the game, and square's continuously questionable response to the
topic, it seems a lot of people are still planning to purchase FF16," began
one poster, adding a poll to collate commenters' views.

"This feels...a little odd to me, because it would seem like the best way to
send a message to Square would be to 'vote with your wallet' per say [sic],
and not purchase the game given these concerns?

"Therefore [...] I was specifically wondering if anyone was going to take a
stand, and not purchase or boycott FF16 due to these issues?"

"I am. It's not particularly difficult either, given just how many games
there are to play. It won’t move the needle, but it’ll make me feel better
about my purchases," said one commenter, whilst another added: "I'm not
buying it. To be completely honest, knowing that Starfield and Dragon's Dogma
are coming with black characters and black character creation make it really
easy to skip FFXVI. Forspoken is mediocre, but Frey being a good character
helps a bit. I'm good."

However, at the time of writing, over 1200 players have responded to the
poll, but just 2.9 per cent – that's around 40 people – are intending to
intentionally boycott the release, with 72.8 per cent still committed to
buying it despite the issues.

在撰寫本文時，已有超過1200名玩家對民意調查做出了回應，
只有2.9%（約40人）打算抵制FF16，仍有72.8%的玩家打算購買

24.3 per cent of those polled didn't plan on picking up Final Fantasy 16 at
all.

"No. If I boycotted games due to lack of diversity in terms of characters
that looked like me, I wouldn't have sh*t to play outside of a few indies at
best to put it very bluntly," explained one fan. "Rep for black women in
gaming is abysmal across the board, and I would say it's even worse for south
asian woman, south american women, etc, etc.

"Since the very first time I started playing games before the age of five, I
played games based on if they are fun or not. 30 some years later, this has
not changed," added another. "Coming from a black person. If you want to
boycott, go for it. I'm there day one."

一個黑人玩家說從我五歲前第一次開始玩遊戲開始，我就以遊戲好玩不好玩來決定，
30多年過去了，這並沒有改變，如果有人想抵制就隨他便吧

PSA: Copies of Final Fantasy 16 are now out in the wild ahead of its release
next week, so be aware of potential spoilers.
