Özet

This study examines the representations of economic justice, class relations, and its connection to political power in the Final Fantasy XVI. The process of crystal production and distribution, the economic power of the aristocratic class, and the resulting dominance over the people, are analyzed, revealing how justice is violated. Character-focused analyses -Clive, Joshua, Jill, Cidolfus, and Ultima- assess the impact of individual journeys on the economic order. The game offers a rich example for conceptualizing social inequalities and exploring the multidimensional nature of economic justice.
