ESRB Age Rating Summary:
DISSIDIA FINAL FANTASY NT is rated T for Teen by the ESRB with Mild Language, Partial Nudity, and Violence. This is a fighting game in which players compete with characters from the Final Fantasy universe. From a third-person perspective, players engage in three-on-three melee combat inside arenas. Players use weapon attacks and magic spells (e.g., elemental strikes, arcane blasts, summoned creatures) to drain opponents' health/life meters in frenetic combat. Battles are accompanied by explosions, light effects, and cries of pain. A handful of female characters wear revealing outfits that barely cover their breasts and/or buttocks; one creature appears to be nude—though her glowing skin obscures any discernible details (i.e., nipples, genitalia). The word “bastard” appears in the game.
