I don’t know how a Final Fantasy game of all things is not going to be political. I don’t think I have played a single one that wasn’t profoundly political. They are always dealing with war, oppression, exploitation, power struggles and often use metaphors for other issues.
The beloved Final Fantasy 7 is blatant with its environmentalist and anti-corporate themes. All the Ivalice games (FF12, FFT and Vagrant Story) pretty much breathe politics, and while I didn’t go too far into Final Fantasy 14, that also seemed pretty political.
