Yes, that's right, Final Fantasy 16 became 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 the game's age rating will remain unchanged and has been fixed.

The real reason is that the upcoming game has that +18 rating PEGI Its dark history. The Square Enix development team has been very clear with players and acknowledged this. There will be plenty of bloodshed and violence in the game, both in action and other forms.

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

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

The game features a wolf named Torgal who will aid you in battle and can even heal Clive's wounds. It's 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 to suit all players. One of these modes is called Story Focus, which will make the game seem easy, allowing the player to focus primarily on the story's 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 development on the game is "about 95%" complete. The game's release date will be the 22nd of the month of the 6th of next year, 2023.
