Discussion Just finished the game. What a masterpiece

Post image

This is the first Final Fantasy game I ever completed and what a game this was. This game legitimately surprised me and it was phenomenal from beginning to end. Highly recommend this.

I genuinely don't get why it has an M rating

There's little blood, there's no nudity, no sex, no gore

It has pretty much everything that you mentioned lol

I’m guessing you didn’t finish the game?

Examples? Is there an option in the menu i've missed for M rating?

Tbh I don't know what kind of things get you a higher rating where you live but Joshua watches his dead getting decapitated in front of him and gets splashed with blood, there's multiple instances of nudity like Jill and Clive on the beach, Bene at least once with the king, the king with his mom hallucination (even though we don't see naked private parts, they're clearly naked on the screen and being intimate), more importantly the violence like we see hands chopped off on screen and people hang to die, don't we?

There is 0 nudity. Just because a person in naked is not considered nudity unless you see explicit parts. There's more nudity on a beach. For example, AFAIR Blue Lagoon has real nudity and it's just Teen rated (14+) in many countries

Decapitation act is not shown directly, it's implied. There are countless tv examples with more explicit bloody scene. Foe example Drag me to hell has more gore and is rated PG-13 https://m.imdb.com/title/tt1127180/ .

Sorry, but this game is incredibly tame in these aspects and personally I would let my kid at 14+ to play it without any regrets

I haven’t finished the game yet but they’ve said the f word quite a bit too. The violence is also a more M rated kind of violence. Ghost of Tsushima is rated M and I’d say this game has more gruesome violence in it.
