Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Brotherhood: Final Fantasy XV keeps its narrative focused on the bonds between its core male characters, putting personality and growth over identity politics. No characters appear to be shoehorned in for diversity’s sake, nor do we see any forced representation distracting from the story.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The series genuinely celebrates brotherhood, loyalty, and traditional masculinity, even highlighting themes like duty to family and friendship. There’s no subversion of traditional values here, and the anime leans into classic themes of heroism and sacrifice without irony or agenda.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative views are not mocked or villainized; the world of FFXV is grounded in its own culture and lore with no heavy-handed messaging regarding modern sociopolitical issues. Ideological debates of today are completely absent.
