  "textContent": "Square Enix announced that the Japanese CERO age rating for _FFXIV_ will change with the upcoming Patch 7.5. The current CERO rating for the game is CERO C, and after the changes in the upcoming patch the rating will change to a CERO D, the second highest in the rating organization.\n\nThe company specified that the reason for the change in CERO age rating for _FFXIV_ comes from the use of the Group Pose feature. Under the current CERO C rating, the developers would have to add restriction to the feature. In order to keep the freedom currently available with the Group Pose feature, the company decided to accept the change to the CERO D rating. However, Square Enix didn’t specify what would these restrictions entail.\n\nSquare Enix also confirmed that this change will only affect the age rating of _Final Fantasy XIV_ in Japan, and that the content of _Final Fantasy XIV_ will remain unaffected. However, players under the age of 17 will need their parents or guardians to review the changes to the rating once it arrives with the 7.5 patch.\n\nFor those unfamiliar with the CERO rating system, players ages 15 and up can play titles with a rating of CERO C. As for the CERO D rating, this means only players aged 17 and up can play, and that some of the CERO D games include adult material. The age rating above CERO D and the highest is CERO Z. It is only used for games that contain strong adult material, such as gore, nudity, and sexual content, and it’s illegal for minors to purchase video games with this rating.\n\n_Final Fantasy XIV_ is available for the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC, and the 7.5 Part 1 patch release date is set for April 28, 2026.\n\nThe post FFXIV CERO Age Rating Goes up in Japan appeared first on Siliconera.",
