mustve because the segs
smh
Dude massacre 100+ mob is ok
Dudes naked behind blanket > oh no
Really? Dude's head gets chopped off in the trailer and it drenches a child character in blood.
Yoshi-P did say blood is a big no no for a teen rating these days. Like XIV has to dance around it constantly, for XVI they just said "fuck it". Doesn't mean it will be GTA.
Checks out. Devil May Cry 5 also has a 16+ rating.
Yet I'm pretty sure this will feel about a hundred times heavier than DMC5, because it doesn't feel like FFXVI treats its themes with the same levity.
Square Enix is expecting a M rating for it. The last trailer said "LIkely Mature 17+" at the beginning.
I just checked and REmake2 actually has the same rating as this in Brazil.
Some more details :
Extenuating circumstances (lol) : sex scenes not fully showed, violent content attenutated by scenes' direction.
Aggravating circumstances : violence with weapons, blood, intentional deaths, torture and victims suffering. Drugs, prostitution, sexual content both shown and talked about. Hate crimes (?)
Sounds fun lol.

This sounded like the kind of stuff you'd get in a Matsuno game, so I quickly checked what Tactics Ogre received: 14+, drugs, violence, suicide, etc.
A lot of stuff they've shown in trailers would have to be cut for the game to not be M rated.
It has to be there. We're supposed to get a new trailer and release date by the end of the year. Square Enix doesn't have any events scheduled, so there's nowhere else to show it.
God, May would be nuts. I'm thinking they don't want to get too close to Zelda, but maybe they actually do the first Tuesday/Friday in June?
It's definitely not later than June, I think.
I could easily see June 30. It's a Friday and it wouldn't be the first time SE picks the last possible day in a quarter to release a Final Fantasy on. They did the same with both FFXIV 1.0 and (originally) FFXV. Auspicious company, I know…
Noooo! My sister in law wants to have her wedding on that day...
I'd be crying and thinking about FF the whole time.
At least the crying wouldn't be too out of place during the ceremony...
Trailer made it seem pretty violent tbh.
For the sake of comparison Resident Evil Village has an 18+ rating around here.
Curious to see how far XVI will go.
Is this like stipulations for the +16 rating in general or is this in particular reference to FF XVI?
In any case, sounds about right. As for sex scenes, it'll likely be similar to a PG-13 movie, with no nudity whatsoever. Same for the violence, although there's a shitton of blood (which seems to be the biggest driver for the devs to push for a higher rating; I don't really expect anything gory).
EDIT: it does read like it's for FF XVI in particular, yeah. Here it is for those interested:

Which is funny when you consider that scene in shadowbringers which is much worse than just blood but hey it's not blood so good enough for the teens
