At least that'd mean we'd have Chocobo breeding, so maybe it'd be good news 🤔

If not that, then a PC patch like total war would be amazing.
Prompto's jacket in FFXV has a quote with the word "FUCK" on it
Nice lol.
It doesn't really have much to do with the quality, but I'd say that Final Fantasy often feels a bit muzzled by its typical T rating... so it's kinda exciting to see it let loose.
Yeah I know which is the equivalent to the North American M rating.
I remember when Versus XIII was supposed to also have blood?
Versus XIII also had themes like devil worshipping. That stuff got cut because execs were like nope, we can't have that in Final Fantasy, so eventually you got a boy band on a road trip.
It's pretty amazing that FF16 is going against pretty much everything that SE execs demand in these games.
I imagine Yoshi-P has a lot of freedom at SE after what he did with XIV
I don't buy that, most of the top games in term of sales that are non nintendo are M rating.
GTA, Red dead 2, Witcher 3, Call of duty series, Skyrim, The last of us 1.
T rating would only help with sales if they release it on the switch.

So THIS is the dark an edgy Final Fantasy we were promised all the way back in 2006 with versus XIII
I guess so. It's just that I have moved on from my "things I like as a kid must follow me to be dark and edgy" phase so I view the blood and M rating as a negative.
they'll have a depressed barber and tailor as a side quest where nobody wants to buy overly designed clothing or get their hairs like a fucking peacock and they don't know what to do anymore. The lead will give them a little hope with his hair, but he'll walk away ultimately in the final betrayal.
You mean FF characters covered in soot with chapped lips wasn't enough to sell you on their death scenes? I mean, it was really dark soot.
That was a fake leak designed to expose the leakers.
The chocobo beheads someone, looks at the camera, and says "KWEH."
M rated Final Fantasy lets gooo
Hope they don't go overboard with profanity like VII Remake
"I AIN'T GOT NOTHING FOR PUNK ASS BITCH LIKE YOU"

You'll probably get XIV-style profanity, i.e. "Curse those bloody whoresons and piss on their swiving round table."
Type-0 doesn't count as a real Final Fantasy. If the rating sticks on release, this will be the first mature rated FF. Interesting and exciting.
One of the few good uses 😂
I'm down with that
More spoony bards please
They propably realized that Witcher III had no problem in selling a lot even though it was a M rated game.
Also, FF XIV has blood in some key scenes.

Only Type-0 has ever gotten a M rating mostly because of blood, violence, military plot, and the fact you can spy on one of your instructors changing. I think FFXVI wont be that silly. It will definitely have blood, gore, violence, as we saw in the trailer but it will probably also have uncomfortable themes. Maybe the main character will have a romance he struggles with kind of like how in Xenogears Fei and Elly are initially on opposite sides but eventually Fei overcomes that and you find out they were always soulmates throughout the various themes of the game. If we can get that level of romance then i'd be really happy. But anything is better than Noctis and Luna exchanging letters to eachother... sure that's pretty romantic but her total screen time with him is probably less than 5 min.
edit: I hope if it is rated M that Nomura can challenge himself in the next few parts of Remake and make them dark like the original FFVII.

I just watched the JP trailer on SE's stream and got so much more hyped than at Sony's reveal. Music is on point.
Hope the story is done well, Type-O was M but was one of the worst FF experiences I had. Nevertheless can't wait for the PS5 launch now.

I LOVE the Remake. But that scene without blood made me really sad. Completly ruined it.
Visual Works sex scene? Hmmm *thinks back to Tidus and Yuna*
I'll never understand how you can kill literal armies in games and be totally fine but a bit of blood is automatically PEGI 18.
Worth noting that games change provisional ratings, for example Persona 5 Royal went from 18 to 16
At this point I'm fairly certain they just ascribe the rating depending on what the trailer implies. So, dude being squished by rocks could be an 18 if they show much more of that, or if the blood is a regular occurence. Better to be safe than sorry, sort of thing.
I wouldn't jump to "all the swears and sex"
