Bringing up FF12 as a symbol of diversity in direct contrast to FF16 just because it has a brown rabbit woman (not even a human) in the main cast and Arabic architecture in Rabanastre.
Did she play that game? Everyone in it is white (aside from Dalan, who she didn't mention) and the the Arabic naming "Halim Ondore/Al-Cid etc" is about a surface level as you can possibly get. The voice actor (who's white) of Ondore even uses a random fake Indian accent despite the character's Arabic coding.
Game journos really don't play games do they?
They forgot Sazh
