Why doesn't Final Fantasy have any blood?

So that it doesn't get the "M"(mature) rating?

or

So that everything remains a "Fantasy"?

[ Blood as in "real-time" blood, not blood which can only be seen in the pre-rendered FMVs, like FFVIII's opening movie. "Real-time" blood, to me, would mean the blood that can be animated during random battles, and other in-game events. ]

And, what really amazed me is, there is absolutely NO blood, NONE AT ALL, in Dirge of Cerberus. And, the most recent movie, Advent Children, besides the scene where Cloud gets a [small, little] cut on his forehead [during the first fighting scene], the cut disappeared as soon as the next scene triggered.

Why? Why does this persist? What is Final Fantasy trying to tell us? [if there is something] Unless, it's pure laziness on the production team's part to create extra color... :roll:

i dont think blood would feel right in a FF game.

At the start of FF8 There was a small amout of blood when Squall was cut. But it was done in such a way it seems to me like there is a lot more than there really is. Which make it more intense when he gos in for the "kill" against Sifer.

But the scene where Cloud gets shot in the face with no ill affects, That just seems cartoonish. So Id like a small amount of blood just to keep the emotion going in certain parts.

I think it is usually included when it needs to be, but ocessive amounts of blood are not really what final fantasy series are about. Besides, if a dude can get shot repeatdly in 1000s of random encounters ( Im looking right at you ff8!) and still live..then I suppose lack of blood is ok with me.

Also agree with the ratings, it would be a lot higer if there were blood in every single encounter.

Well, FF is not a action game. It's an rpg. And not many rpg have blood in it do they? And FF also have this charm, and with blood i think that charm would go away...FinalHorror

There is minimal blood and so little as to be hardly noticable. I've got and love the Shadow Hearts games almost as much as Final Fantasy and you won't see enough blood to worry about same as FF VII and VIII. iowastate

I am not so sure blood alone effects rating like you all think it does. Take Oblivion for example. It is rated T forViolence, Blood, Gore, Language, Sexual Themes and Use of Alcohol. FF could add blood throughout the entire game and it would probably avoid the M ratingfs_metal
