Turns out the coming Final Fantasy XVInot only relies heavily on it game of Thrones medieval aesthetics in jest. Corresponding its MSRB rating in Brazil, FFXVI is classified as mature for his sex scenes, drug use, and imaginative hate crimes.
according to a Reddit translation the rating of the game on the website of the Brazilian Ministério da Justiça (their Ministry of Justice and Public Security), Final Fantasy XVI contains a cacophony of “mitigating circumstances” such as:
- Sex scenes (which are not fully shown) ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
- “Premeditated Deaths” (ㆆ_ㆆ)
- Torture scenes depicting suffering victims (ಠ_ಠ)
- drug use (¬‿¬)
- Prostitution (#°Д°)
- Sexual content (which will be shown and discussed) (。﹏。)
- And hate crimes (⊙o⊙)
While this news may come as a surprise to you, we already knew it FFXVI
“When you’re trying to tell a story with difficult adult themes, those judgments can end up becoming a hindrance. And you find yourself changing things that you wanted to do in the game based on that rating,” Yoshida said game spot. “To make sure we can tell the story we wanted the way we wanted, this time we decided to target age ratings in most regions where the game will be released.”
G/O Media may receive a commission
Despite the suggestiveness FFXVI‘s Mature content rating details, the themes and themes mentioned above are not entirely new to the franchise. Last year Square Enix updated the guidelines for his MMORPG, Final Fantasy XIV, which allows its users to engage in consensual and private erotic roleplay as long as it is “conducted in a private area”.

Final Fantasy VII Remake also had its fair share of adult content, although it was rated T for teens for its language, salacious themes, alcohol and tobacco use, and violence. Cloud Strife and his gang of eco-terrorists have been tortured countless times, almost sex-trafficked, and witnessed domestic terrorism, with Shinra dropping an entire colony onto another colony. However, it seems that the only thing that separates FFVIIR out FFXVI is the level of detail the latter spends on both his dialogues and how long his camera is trained FFXVI
Personally knowing that FFXIV Features hate crimes bring me to tears. I’m crying ironically, don’t worry (~ ̄▽ ̄)~. Why the wry laughter at fantasy hate crimes? Already in November FFXIV‘s producer, Naoki Yoshida, poorly explained IGN why the game’s fantasy world Valisthea contained no non-white people by saying that racial diversity is a violation of FFXIV‘s “Narrative Boundaries”.
“Ultimately, we felt that while it was important to include ethnic diversity in Valisthea, over-involvement in this one corner of a much larger world could end up violating the narrative boundaries we originally set for ourselves.” said Yoshida IGN.
With that in mind, my mind is racing a mile a minute, wondering what drives me FFXIVAdult hate crimes and what fantasy group will be on the receiving end. Will the Hate Crimes™ target people with bunny ears? cat girl? Or worse, the British sounding natives? The possibilities may be endless, but they definitely will be something white and as the kids say, that’s fine.
FFXVI Slated for release next summer for PlayStation 5 and PC.
