The latest crippled successful the long-running Final Fantasy bid is going to incorporate 'partial nudity' and 'sexual themes'. Ooh-err, matron.

Put connected the Barry White and dim the lights, Final Fantasy is getting sexy. Not that it wasn't ever a spot sexy, to beryllium fair, what with its domme-flavoured phantasy PlayBoy bunnies and absurdly-chested goth girlfriends. But per a caller ESRB standing that's travel up for the game, the latest rubric is going to person astatine slightest a small spot of "partial nudity" and immoderate "sexual themes".

This triumph animation was specifically chosen for Lulu, apparently. Wonder why.

The ESRB (that's the Entertainment Software Ratings Board, for what it's worth) has fixed Final Fantasy 16 an “M17+” rating, with the aforementioned “partial nudity” and “sexual themes” bumping the standing up – arsenic good arsenic immoderate of the accustomed blood, gore, and violence.

The standing itself gives america a small much accusation astir what we tin expect from the game, too. "This is an enactment role-playing crippled successful which players presume the relation of an enslaved prince (Clive) connected a quest to find his missing brother," reads the ESRB blurb.

None of the characters are going to beryllium arsenic risque arsenic Fran. Probably.

But if you're present for the horny stuff, here's what we tin glean from the listing: "The crippled contains immoderate intersexual material: a quality caressing and straddling a antheral successful bed; references to prostitution; intersexual moaning sounds successful a brothel; dialog specified arsenic “I’d beryllium blessed to amusement you… provided I tin spend it” and “…thank you for your service. My enclosure is conscionable upstairs.” Some characters are depicted with partially exposed breasts and buttocks. The words “f--k” and “sh-t” are heard successful the game.

If you're a Final Fantasy veteran, this should beryllium thing new; whether you've been exposed to Fran successful Final Fantasy 12, Lulu successful Final Fantasy 10, immoderate of the horny player-created characters successful Final Fantasy 15, oregon immoderate of the different semi-lewd realisations from crossed the Final Fantasy universe, these hints arsenic to what FF16 volition see aren't truly that shocking.
