Disclaimer: I am not an adult, I am a 14 year old, but I am writing this with my mother’s oversight. She watched the game as I played it, so keep that in mind. I highly enjoyed playing this game; it has an interesting story, a great soundtrack, and beautiful graphics. It also has messages of self-sacrifice, forgiveness, love, loyalty, and friendship. The characters stick by each other even in the hardest times. There can also be moments of levity in the game’s overall serious story, especially with Yuffie. The biggest issues with the game are violence, provocatively dressed characters, and language. Some scenes show small amounts of blood, and characters being stabbed/impaled, shot, etc. Some of the women wear revealing clothing, including main protagonists: Tifa wears a midriff and miniskirt and Yuffie who wears a midriff and shorts that are unzipped in the front. Some women wear skimpy bathing suits in chapter six. Men are shown shirtless. There is an optional kiss scene between a man and a woman. The obscenities in the game include b**ch, b**tard, s**t, d**m, h*ll, p*ssed, and a**. There is occasional innuendo, but nothing extreme. The game can be hard to watch at times, with some scenes of characters begging for their lives, people being murdered, and characters having traumatic memories come back. One NPC slaps someone in the face and calls her a “hussy”. (This is completely obscure, seeing as it is an NPC in a random area in Kalm, but I thought it worth mentioning.) characters occasionally get drunk, and some characters smoke. Characters argue. To sum it up, the game has some disturbing moments and immodesty, but overall it is a great game for teenagers and up, but not for little kids.
