It’s easy to mistake a game with cheerful cover art as a children’s game, but in this case, it’s what’s on the inside that counts. Subscribe to The Gamer: https://goo.gl/9cpWgf
For many of us, RPG games were a vital part of growing up and the stories were intriguing and kept us coming back for more, but when is a game too mature for children?
It may look easy to distinguish between a mature game and a children’s title, but it’s not always necessarily the case with a JRPG. It may look like colorful characters and bubbly sidekicks in the cover art, but if you’ve ever played a JRPG, you know never to judge a game by its cover.
Final Fantasy Tactics is a great example of a game which might be too mature for a certain age group, even if Final Fantasy is mostly now made up of games which could be played by children. The Final Fantasy series wasn’t always fantastical and whimsical and the older games are made up of pretty complex battle systems as well as a darker storyline.
Xenogears was also toned down for a younger audience although it was not always the way the Xenosaga made it out to be. The game had some pretty intense psychological themes where you were battling with many inner demons and the main character’s storyline was a dark and twisted mess you had to work through as a player. It wasn’t exactly suitable for children.
Parasite Eve eventually ended up with a Mature rating, but before its release, it was given a Teen rating which made some gamers too young to have the ability to try their hand at it. Let’s just say it’s really mature and violent and the mutated monsters will haunt you for weeks, even if you’re an adult.
