The Final Fantasy series has long attempted to tell complex, mature stories, but until now there’s never been an entry in the series that’s received higher than a T or 16 rating from the ESRB or PEGI ratings boards. Well, it seems that’s about to change.

The debut trailer for Final Fantasy XVI showcased a darker tone than we’re used to from the series, with some big, grotesque bosses and surprisingly-bloody moments. Well, according to a new email that’s being sent to some European fans, we’ve likely just been given a small taste of Final Fantasy XVI’s edgy content, as the game will apparently be receiving an 18 rating from PEGI.
