The Entertainment Software Ratings Board (ESRB) has given Final Fantasy XVI a “Mature” M rating. This is the first game in the main series to receive this honour.
The video game will exclusively be available for PlayStation 5 for the first six months and is expected to come out on June 22nd, 2023. The game is also expected to be available on other platforms but at a later date. The ESRB description of the video game shows that it contains a number of swear words and fantasy hate crimes. In addition, it has some sexual content.
Square Enix is hoping to get an M rating for Final Fantasy XVI. This is the next big entry in the series. It will feature a new setting and a darker tone. It also looks like the most mature game in the franchise’s history.
While the ESRB is a rating agency, it is not the only one to give a game a score. In fact, the Dragon Age franchise is a few decades ahead of the game.
Final Fantasy XVI is a JRGP (Japanese role-playing game) with a medieval vibe. It also features fantastical creatures and takes place in a fantasy kingdom.
The game also includes a number of swear words, including a couple of F-words. In addition, it contains some nudity and blood. There is also a lot of violence in the game.
The game is expected to be released in the United States, Brazil, Canada, Europe, and Japan. Depending on the region, it may not be ever available on Xbox consoles, according to Microsoft.
Overall, the ESRB’s rating of Final Fantasy XVI is a sign of the times. As a long-running role-playing game, the series has largely been capped at a T for Teen rating.
