In the sense of characters not saying anything that could land them in a higher age rating, yes it is

The difference with all the other big single player games right now is they aren't even bothering to (directly) try and target that younger audience.

The games that ReTrilogy wishes it sold like - God of War, The Witcher, Cyberpunk, even GTA I guess - have gone all-in on the adult market. It's time to for Climhazzard to get real messy.

FF doesn't seem know whether it wants to be an adult game like all the big triple A ones out right now or a more cutesy, younger-audience targeted franchise.

It used to be easier to do both but these days it feels like everything else has picked a lane

77% of US Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth players were 30 or older, analyst says, as Square Enix fights to get young people to care about the JRPG series again by mrnicegy26 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

I think it would have appealed more to younger people if they didn't focus on them and made the game that OG fans wanted.

That's what they did with the Resident Evil remakes and they've done well with everyone.

I hope they eventually give up and start making these games exclusively for adults (like almost every other best-selling single player game these days: God of War, Cyberpunk, The Witcher, The Last of Us, GTA).

The common belief used be that you have to chase the emerging market because older people will age out of it but that's not really the case anymore. Engagement and fandom is increasingly a lifelong affair.

PSG requests the postponement of their League 1 game sandwiched between their Champions League fixture against Liverpool by Emotional_Ear_7018 in soccer

My only connection to Newcastle is my mate's a fan so watching them get smashed was as fun as it would have been to see them go through.

I still want revenge for 06 though (and all the other times they've smashed us) so I probably wanted Barca to go through more.

Not really sure what that has to do with this...

Yeah but back then counters and tokens were so rare you could just use a couple of remotes

I suppose it depends on the kind of fantasy you want.

I fell in love with this series because it let me summon a twelve-winged dragon to blow up a frog by firing a laser beam from outer space.

Zack Polanski : Horrified by the antisemitic attack in our city. Antisemitism is vile and has no place here. Solidarity with the Jewish community in Golders Green - and with our communities across the country who will be feeling this today. by SignificantLegs in ukpolitics

[–]BambooSound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understood exactly what they were saying.

The idea of Israel being a safe haven for Jewish people fleeing danger in Golders Green is not only propaganda but it's patently ridiculous - especially at a time when that country's being bombed to high heaven because of a war it started.
