Remake is rated 13 by esrb

Most of us here played the original as children but the new game will be PG-13 because the graphics is realistic now compared from the original so the violence may look scary for children. The bad graphics from the past became advantage for us as children since we get to be allowed to play the original as kids.

At least the game is not r-18 so some new generation of kids will get to play this masterpiece. The game will be released in March 3 2020 next year.

Final Fantasy don't really have gore so it will never be rated M. It will always be categorized for teens since its the intended market.

This series even have fans who are not even on their teens. Also it's hard to sell M-rated games in Japan these days due to censorship.
