Final Fantasy 16 is finally available, and everyone’s jumping into it, ready to explore it fully. The game is a fantasy adventure RPG that has gone on for a long time, even with multiple successful Final Fantasy Online games. Gamers or their parents might wonder, “What kind of rating does the game have?” Final Fantasy 16 is rated M for mature, and this guide will tell you why it is.

Is Final Fantasy 16 Rated M? Answered

This sixteenth Final Fantasy game is rated M for mature content, which parents will want to consider if purchasing this game for their children. The game contains a mixture of elements causing its rating, between the language and some sexual content, such as a female character straddling a man while in bed and making some inappropriate sounds. The game also contains other dialogue that is very suggestive.

Again, there is also some colorful language in the game. These are some things that parents will want to look out for when thinking about purchasing for their child. While the game is an action RPG, it has some mature tones that leave it feeling even more like an adult game. It is also pretty bloody, with dismemberment and blood featured heavily.

Final Fantasy 16 is rated M for language and sexual content, so this is something to consider when purchasing this game exclusively for the PS5. This applies to children and individuals who might not feel comfortable with some of these settings in the game. The game does feature cutscenes that show suggestive content; while these can be ignored, some players still might feel put off by them.

This is the first Final Fantasy game to be rated M game in the series, and it is currently rated 18+ in other countries as well. This is because there is some really strong language, including the use of the f-word throughout the game. None of the other games in the series feature content to this extent, so it is a bit of a change for players from the beginning. This can also be a new experience for those who haven’t played the games before; they can know that older ones are a bit different. That is everything to know about why Final Fantasy 16 is rated Mature and what content it includes. Check out our guide for the best FF games to play before 16.

Final Fantasy 16 is available on PlayStation 5.
