Question Is Nomura's feeling to express his political ideas going to ruin FFXIII?

Recently, people (Directors of games and movies in particular) feel that they must give their opinions about the situations in the world. They talk of it as if they were doing a favor to the people of the world, when really they just piss a bunch of people off. When I sit down to enjoy something like a movie or game, I do not wish to worry about politics, and I am sure that many of you agree with me that entertainment should not bug people and draw many people away from it who have opposing views.

I read the other day on this site that Tetsuya Nomura plans to make his next blockbuster game, Final Fantasy XIII Fabula Nova Crystallis, about the world of today. It is to be a mature look at the world, such as the situations between countries (Probably the big ones like Islamo-Fascist Terror, North Korea's missles, and the hate toward America). This might upset people more than it will be a mature game.

I would not have enjoyed Final Fantasy XII as much as I did if they were to say that "The Archadian Empire is overstretching its reach! They lied about Nadubis having airships of mass destruction, and they destroyed it. We need to put the fascist emperor out of power!". But the reason that that annoys me so much is because I am a conservative. But I would be annoyed too if I had to hear some anology putting down abortion, or fights for weapons so people can defend theirselves.

The fact is that politics will wear anyone out, even political junkies like I am. I hope that no one else will want a Final Fantasy XIII where "The people of Cocoon think their leaders are sealing crystal from the land they just liberated." I hope Nomura will rethink about putting the issues of today in, because I really like Final Fantasy, and I am waiting for another FF to blow me away like X or VII did.
