Final Fantasy was rated M for mature? Do you think that would hurt the sales?

It'd really depend on what it was rated M for.

I don't know any people who play FF who are under the age of 17, in other words I think people would be angry but just think GTA is rated mature and look at those sales, with popularity like FInal Fantasy, giving it an M wouldn't even dent sales.

This is actually a very interresting idea. I mean, FF has always had sort of a darker under-tone to it so if it were to have a higher level of violence/blood/language it would most likely fit well with whatever story square-enix comes up with. It wouldn't be rated M for obscene sexual content and drugs like GTA, so I doubt that anyone would really care. Plus, like what LinoNoPegs88 already said, most FF fans are over 17 so it wouldn't hurt sales at all. Even if a youngster wanted to buy it they probably would be able to...I mean look at how many kids get their hands on GTA every year. I think that if an M rated FF game were tastefully made that it might be good for the series...or at least something different.

well if i had blood and intensive violence but i good story line id still buy it. there might be a few sales lost because some parents really care about the rateing (which they should). but other then that there would still be a lot of sales.

Well considering that all FF games lack the bad language other then the ones were censored like Barret's and Cid's and no nudity and blood. I wouldn't see how it will even get Rated M rating

But IF! they rated M this game I can see this game lose some profit. But like how this game got ppl hooked to it's titles these days I can see kids beg for this game to there parents. I'm sure if they have older brothers and sisters they'll be very lucky to know they wouldn't mind letting watch and let them play. I'm sure the older siblings are responsible enough to watch what they do.

If they included that into Final Fantasy I probably would think that the games get even better because then it would be that they are adding more realism

Uh.... Well, for a start, we'd have to be living in an alternate universe for that to happen, but yeah. I think if in this universe Square was to make a gory Final Fantasy game, stuff would hit the fan. I mean, Final Fantasy's got a very good name in the gaming world and has a reputation to uphold. If they were to change the way FF felt, a lot of people would be turned off of it.

Might hurt their image with the media and stuff but all the fans I think would be pretty much the same.

Turning the series into a M rated would actually help it sell more games. FVII was the most mature FF game ever made and it sold more copies then any other FF game.

But square actually did make a M-rated FF game. It's FFVI. The game had some nudity in it. But that nudity was covered up for the US version. But I am not sure if that nudity was enough to make it a M-rated game because it was rarely seen.

I am talking about in terms of blood, violance and language. Those are the things that make a game M-rated. Though FFVIII was more mature then FVII with its love story and all, it just did not have blood, violence and language that FFVII had that would make it more contraversal. I mean, in what FF game do you see a character getting stabbed through the heart. That scene is to this day, the most violent scene made for any FF game.

I can't remember seeing any blood or such things when she died :)

take the opening scene in FFVIII where you actually do see a little blood for a change :)

but as I see it Final Fantasy as other RPGs has to get more adult than they are

Yes. A lot of kids under 17 buy FF games. All the game stores where I live force you to have an adult with you if you're under 17 and you want an M game. If you want a T game, you have to bring in someone that's a guardian over 13 years of age.

yeah, but the blood I am talking about is in the shinra building at the beginning of the game that sephiroth made.

Plus that blood from FFVIII is just a little scratch :P its nothing heartbreaking like when aerith got stabbed.

Yeah, I also think that FF games are maturing.

I guess that we can keep discussing this to an end because I guess that we won't convince each other anyway:P

but I have to say that I would atleast call FFVIII to be the most serious of the games :)
