Yes, that's right, Final Fantasy 16 has become the first game in the series to be rated "mature" by the ESRB. It has an 18+ rating according to the European age rating organization PEGI.

Final Fantasy 16 is now available for pre-order, especially after its release date was announced at The Game Awards last year. This also means that the game's age rating will not change and has been fixed.

The real reason is that the upcoming game has that +18 rating PEGI Its dark history. The development team at Square Enix has been very clear with players and acknowledged this. There will be a lot of bloodshed and violence in the game in the form of action and otherwise.

One of the game’s developers, Yoshida, believes that somewhat restrictive ratings are important to ensure that the right people are consuming the right content. Trying to tell a more mature story while adhering to the restrictions of a sub-mature rating can hinder the creative process and the player experience. He said the following:

When trying to tell a story with difficult adult themes, these ratings can become a hindrance. And you find yourself changing things you wanted to do in the game based on that rating.

The game will feature a wolf named Torgal who will assist you in battle and can even heal Clive's wounds. It is also hinted that Torgal can perform devastating "double attacks" if Clive gets his commands right. The development team has confirmed that Final Fantasy XVI will offer different difficulty levels that can satisfy all players' tastes. One such mode is called Story Focus, which will make the game seem easy so that the player can focus primarily on the story events.

The game will also be the first RPG in the series to feature a unique battle system. Recently, game director Hiroshi Takai said that the game's development is "about 95%" complete. The game's release date will be on the 22nd of the month of the 6th of next year, 2023.
