NenorBlack, the Knight from The Global Southさんのイラストまとめ

Cold Climate European-inspired lands can have faithful majority skin color representation like in FF16 and Isekai Anime, but Brown and Black POC in Genshin's Hot Tropical and Desert 2-in-1 climate Sumeru be like :

These are Anime-style and manga works with diversity and representation.

If only Alhaitham & Tighnari could be brown like these guys.... Genshin's dark skin players are robbed of their rightful representation in a hot tropical climate Indian and SEA-like country(Sumeru).

So when I say I want diversity and representation I also want it more reflected in JRPGs and SRPGs with Anime Aesthetics like these and not only in games or works with a Realistic Aesthetic like in Forspoken or Final Fantasy series.

Just include the POC & everyone will be happy

Minority Representation Matters, because we exist, we want to feel special & we too want to "become the Hero & save the world as the Main-Freakin-Character".

It's not hard to do because this guy here exists in a JRPG & in Xenogears, Chinese-named guy(not JP) is Protagonist.

The reason why I consider Son Goku as minority is because he is only one of few Saiyans living on planet where majority are not.

So when I say minority inclusion it doesn't mean just brown & black POC but those who differ from mainstream by race or skin color. Representation 👍

Anyway, including Minorities as Main Characters in a region they're not in the mainstream is cool, as it emphasizes that the MC is different & yet "more special" and in the case of Isekai Protagonists, "more overpowered" than locals. Sometimes we POC just want to "feel special".

黒人はおろか、アラブっぽいキャラクターすらいない。韓国産作品の方は民族的な褐色男性キャラの方が多い。

Alhaitham from Sumeru would be perfect if he has this guy's skin color and not paper pale white.

But Hoyoverse would rather whitewash tropical rainforest Indians and SE Asians then represent people who have brown or tanned skin like us, huh ?

Recently, I've been praising Korean creators a lot.
Maybe because they earned my deep respect for including brown guys or Middle Eastern as Main Characters for Female Protagonist in Webtoons, which is a setting very hard to find in Japanese Manga & SRPGs. Now I can Self-Insert
