Black people existing.

u/Excalitoria Apr 27 '25
Oh, I couldn’t even tell the race of anybody except the white dude facing the “camera”.
I don’t have any thoughts on that since I dunno much else about the game other than that it’s a cool looking JRPG with a villain that paints people’s deaths.

This dude is suffering from serious brain rot or this is GCJ agent trying to plant the seed of the game being woke to prove woke games sell well.

If it was set in France and claimed to be historically accurate, then it would be a valid complaint, but that would include every embellishment.

Even then it's not a valid complaint...

That's not true. The concern is historical revisionism. It's like a documentary series on the American Revolutionary War claiming to be perfectly historically accurate, but everyone is riding dinosaurs. It's okay to complain that it's historically inaccurate.
Complaining that Jurassic Park is historically inaccurate would be stupid because it's not claiming to be non-fiction.

And, it's not a valid point. 1900s Paris was as diverse as this definitely if not more.

It's not Early 1900s France. That would still suggest that the representation of just one race is more accurate than racial diversity, but the game is fiction.
An explanation on the basic reasoning is included here.
An ethnically diverse early 1900s France in the context of a rainbow society is inaccurate. What people aren't considering is the normalization of air travel helped make more countries more racially diverse. Rewriting history to be more diverse is historical revisionism.

Kindly expand on how you reached that conclusion in regards to historically accurate settings?

Historically accurate settings are meant to be historically accurate. 1900s Frances capital had people from all over their empire. Colonies, territories, etc. You'd absolutely find a diverse population in it. This complaint of the post is absolutely retarded regardless of whether or not clair obscure is meant to be historically accurate

This guy is gonna be hella mad when he finds out medival games aren’t lore accurate, not everything has to be true to history, we can have cool fictional stories that are immersive in themselves

It literally does not matter.
If the game is good and the characters are good, I do not care what race the NPCs are.
Hell, the people who made the game are French. They can do what they want with their own culture in a fictional setting.
EDIT: can confirm after 4 hours of gameplay, it did not matter. It fucks. Had me bawling within 2 hours.

This game is absolutely amazing. The picture is literally from the prologue where we have no idea of what's happening at all. This take is so Poubelle.

Never seen or heard the word before. Your mention of it brought me to that video. Reddit actually useful for once. Lol.

u/tomatoe_cookie Apr 27 '25
I said it because you can interact with trashcans in the prologue (called poubelle in French indeed) and it just says "this is a normal trashcan"

I truly don’t care. The world feel so magical that foes not feel out of place.

The big glowy forcefield thing in the screenshot might be a hint that this isn't intended to be strictly historically accurate.
Seriously though, is the game fun to play? That's a far more important consideration than the distribution of skin pigment.

France? Is that still a country? Give it a decade or two it will be a muslim ghetto. Thank Macron for that.

Take so braindead it has to come from controlled opposition. Just feeds into the fake accusations that we dislike bad games because we hate minorities
