Another publication site has been paying close attention to Square Enix’s forthcoming JRPG, which is Final Fantasy VII Remake, and reveals that it will have “deep cleavage,” “language,” and “violence” throughout it when the timed PS4 exclusive hits the market.
Website gamingbolt.com has found the esrb.org has updated Final Fantasy VII Remake’s parental advisory page, which also happens to offer some insight on content tucked within the Teen-rated JRPG.
Despite “suggestive themes” and “deep cleavage” being in the game, it’s all handled by the Ethics Department so you can write off any super-sexy time appearing in the game due to current year propaganda.
And with Tifa censored and Shiva covered in the mix (two characters censored before launch), expect the Ethics Department to show out as we move closer to next year’s first quarter.
Anyway, back on topic. The publication site sourced from Final Fantasy VII Remake’s ESRB page and found the following:
- Language
- Suggestive Themes
- Use of Alcohol and Tobacco
- Violence
The website also covers how the ESRB makes mention of sword, staff, gun, and magic use during battles with “fantastical monsters” and “soldiers.”
The site also explains that a cut-scene depicts people being impaled by swords off-camera, and a man being shot repeatedly on a stairwell.
As for suggestive themes, some female characters wear “revealing outfits” like deep cleavage and the like, which I bet will be altered by the ethics department to be “current year friendly.”
There’s also a scene where a man of culture ogles several ladies while “making suggestive hand gestures” and “hip movements.” I bet that scene will go over well with Resetera and the other hivemind sites.
And lastly, the JRPG contains alcohol use as in ordering “something hard and bitter” and watching a character drink:
“This is an action role-playing game in which players follow the story of a mercenary (Cloud Strife) on a quest to save the planet from evil. Players explore the city of Midgar, perform various quests, and battle monsters and soldiers in frenetic melee combat. Characters use swords, staffs, guns, and magic spells to battle fantastical monsters and human soldiers; combat is highlighted by cries of pain, impact sounds, and explosions. Cutscenes also depict instances of violence: characters impaled by swords (off-camera); a man shot repeatedly while on a stairwell. Some female characters wear revealing outfits (e.g., deep cleavage); one scene depicts a man ogling women’s bodies while making suggestive hand gestures and hip movements. The game contains some alcohol content: ordering “something hard and bitter” and watching a character drink; searching for a person at the “Drunkards’ Den”; watching characters drunk and slurring their speech. One cutscene depicts a character smoking a cigar. The words “sh*t,” “a*shole,” and “pr*ck” appear in the dialogue.”
While we wait to see if any of the above stays in the game or if alterations pop up either in the rumored demo or the full version, we’ll find out on March 13th, 2020.
