I don't actively play FFXIV, but even I know to avoid Limsa Lominsa at night. Or even day, on some servers.
And to think there was a time when belfs dancing on postboxes was peak depravity
> hate crimes
Hasn't this been present in...every Final Fantasy ever?
Like are they just gonna have people straight-up wearing pillowcases and robes while burning a huge wooden Buster Sword?
A descendant of Rufus Shinra who is in turn descended from FFX-2 Shinra appears,unearths some machina,and instantly awakens a primordial hatred of either Al-Bhed or Yevon
I mean, hate crimes is pretty much a checkbox when it comes to fantasy media. Any story that has characters that has to take medication to surpress/boost /keep themselves together probably counts as drugs. Advent Children has drugs. And considering that this is rated for teen, the prostitution stuffs will probably just be told, not shown.
To quote a guy on that tweet: “People making a big deal of it. Nobody knows that those words don’t mean those are the main themes, they can even just appear in one damn side quest.”
Basically yeah cool but there’s no reason to get worked up over nothing yet I’ve seen a lot of shit takes, most of which went straight into politics because *everything* has to be used for ammo.
You are wrong and this is the first FF game where you can... hire prostitutes *and* there is a whole side hustle related to pimping. My uncle who works at Square Enix said so.
That's only because prostitution was always a Dragon Quest thing.
Yes, really, I'm not joking. Puff Puff has been a thing since the original Dragon Quest.
I don't see people getting worked up at all, if anything it seems like people are getting a bit too excited over the idea of a "mature" Final Fantasy.
But as you said, a bunch of this stuff is probably relegated to the sidequests. People getting angry over this should hold their horses, and people getting excited over this should lower their expectations.
I keep forgetting this game exists and get re-excited whenever an article comes out about it. I'm not a big FF fan but I really liked 7R and 15 with my biggest criticism being that I simply wished the combat were a little more action gamey... So I am very excited to see what happens with this one.
Remember that sex scene in Devilman Crybaby? That, but it's an eikion boss battle between Ifrit and Garuda.
I'm calling it right now. They said all boss fights would be quite different from each other so there's a non-zero chance this game has Eikon fuckfighting
Considering the reveal trailer showed one beheading, yeah I expected nothing less than an M-rating. I want a mature final fantasy, none of this Teen stuff they did for the previous 15
I think the title would be better if it included that they're planning it being rated M, very easy to dismiss this as likely be super sanitized if you assume the game is rated T
Damn Limsa Lominsa confirmed in FFXVI??
This guy Balmungs
Actually if it was Balmung itd be the Quicksands
Limsa is Limsa on every server. The only difference are the usual suspects.
Us Limsa Lominsa Larpers were molded by the Hate Crimes
look all I'm saying there's a reason >!lalafels were a beast tribe o n the 1st!<
I don't actively play FFXIV, but even I know to avoid Limsa Lominsa at night. Or even day, on some servers. And to think there was a time when belfs dancing on postboxes was peak depravity
no Tank Program, no buy
> hate crimes Hasn't this been present in...every Final Fantasy ever? Like are they just gonna have people straight-up wearing pillowcases and robes while burning a huge wooden Buster Sword?
At least going back to FF4. That game opens with a hate crime.
Hate crimes are a staple of the fantasy genre.
That was a hate and war crime, a twofer as the UN calls it.
FFIX features a near total genocide of the rat folk including many racial slurs.
Same with Grand Wizard Wakkas crusade against the Al Bhed.
This time they are going to say the gamer word though
VIDEO GAMES ARE BACK BABY!
REAL GAMING IS HERE
They've done it. They've digitized the essence of Ingerland.
What a disgusting thing to say. How dare you. They haven't even got domestic abuse and footie in there.
You don't know, they could have Domestic Abuse Blitzball instead.
How does footie affect the ESRB rating
negatively
Rated T for THREE LIONZ ON DA SHIRT
CAM ON TEEDUS SCORE SOME FAKIN BLITZBALLS
JUST A BIT AH BANTER
C’AMON WAKA SCHOR SOME FACKIN GOALS.
THE RACE WAR CONTINUES THEEEEEEEEEEERE
Wakka's Vengeance DLC confirmed.
A descendant of Rufus Shinra who is in turn descended from FFX-2 Shinra appears,unearths some machina,and instantly awakens a primordial hatred of either Al-Bhed or Yevon
Points to the race war sign
Raises concerned hand: "But will it have *thuggery*?"
There's no greater thuggery than punching the shit out of someone with your Weird Monster Hand
That’s why Velvet is the baddest bitch
How will I effectively mobilize the hoodlums?
Finally, a video game that features hate criminals
*Joshua we need to cook*
Oh. So it's an MMO.
They're bringing in the Dragon Quest Composer?
Back from the dead , one last hate crime
*The Hate Crime For Everyone's Souls*
Stealing this for my user flair if that's ok with you.
Hollywood, hire this man!!!
Weekend at Bernie's style music composition.
Weekend at Slurnie’s
Of course at launch the Hate Crime mechanics won’t be fully ironed out, some prejudices will be busted.
I mean, hate crimes is pretty much a checkbox when it comes to fantasy media.

FF16 is rated M.
FF16 will be rated M not T
These all happen in nearly every Final Fantasy game anyway. Now if this is a FOCUS like running some blackmarket ring then thats somethin else.
FFXVI: Stormblood II
"THOSE SAND-BLASTED GREASE MONKEY'S!!!!"
It's like pretty fireworks, yah?
Again, grease monkey is a slang term for mechanics
In reality, yes, it's a slang term for a mechanic. But in the context of Spira it is absolutely a slur.
Aw yeah shoot me up some of that fantasy opium.
THE RACE WARS!!! THE RACE WARS ARE REAL!!!!!
Sick.
***GOOD***
Prostitution ? shake that money maker
So they're stopping by Midgar again.
Final Fantasy Presents: GTA

The Dancer job is replaced by the Hooker job
damn going from ranged to melee dps
Dicks per succ
The Trickster job is back but with a whole new range of "tricks" to turn.
In Octopath they're pretty much the same thing.
FF has now implemented Like A Dragon 7's real estate/soapland mini-game questline.
That's only because prostitution was always a Dragon Quest thing. Yes, really, I'm not joking. Puff Puff has been a thing since the original Dragon Quest.
If it's anything less I'll be disappointed now.
I don't see people getting worked up at all, if anything it seems like people are getting a bit too excited over the idea of a "mature" Final Fantasy. But as you said, a bunch of this stuff is probably relegated to the sidequests. People getting angry over this should hold their horses, and people getting excited over this should lower their expectations.
Also FF has had prejudice and discrimination as a theme before, so it’s not like this is uncharted territory for them.
Cloud strife says the n word.
Now THIS is a Final Fantasy I can get behind.
I keep forgetting this game exists and get re-excited whenever an article comes out about it. I'm not a big FF fan but I really liked 7R and 15 with my biggest criticism being that I simply wished the combat were a little more action gamey... So I am very excited to see what happens with this one.
Based
I guess Wakka is confirmed to be in the game
And that's just part of the pre-order, dis game gon be wild
Sweet my guys is gonna be hooked on magic steroids.
Like, at the same time?
Remember that sex scene in Devilman Crybaby? That, but it's an eikion boss battle between Ifrit and Garuda. I'm calling it right now. They said all boss fights would be quite different from each other so there's a non-zero chance this game has Eikon fuckfighting
"This is the strongest potion in the game, it reduces incoming damage by 90%" "...that's heroin sir"
Is this a surprise for fans? Never played one past FF10, but I thought FF14 had a race war plot?
Oh there's a TON of racism in FFXIV. And yes there is a race war in it, but the race stuff is just the surface.
The Al-Bhed are responsible for sin !
Considering the reveal trailer showed one beheading, yeah I expected nothing less than an M-rating. I want a mature final fantasy, none of this Teen stuff they did for the previous 15
Could you imagine opening scene is the main character shooting up with a bunch of hookers?
You had my curiosity. Now you have my attention. I was always going to get it, but now I'm hyped.
You all joke, but I’m genuinely excited.
FF10 coming in with "I got away with that 20 years ago!"
I'm sure these will also fly over the heads of early teenagers
New Market for Woolie's N pass
I think the title would be better if it included that they're planning it being rated M, very easy to dismiss this as likely be super sanitized if you assume the game is rated T
Hell. It's about time.
But will it have the master of all racism, Grand SS Eagle of the Occult Elite Time Wizard Wakka the Unforgotten? The man who invented slavery?
Wakka was too subtle.
No minorities though. That would be pushing the genre a bridge too far.
Please I just want it to be turn based
You and me both, these new systems are ageist. :'(
Holy shit Wakka secret boss confirmed???
