WORLD OF FINAL FANTASY is rated E10+ for Everyone 10+ by the ESRB with Alcohol Reference, Fantasy Violence, Mild Language, and Mild Suggestive Themes.

A handful of sequences also depict additional acts of violence: a vampire stabbed (off-screen) in the chest with a stake; characters turned to dust in a fiery blast. The game contains some suggestive material: female character in outfits that reveal moderate amounts of cleavage; dialogue that states, “On the one hand, he must flirt with all the ladies” and “Oh, this one's a tasty morsel! I'd love to get my tentacles around her . . .” The game includes a brief reference to alcohol in a character description: "A consummate connoisseur, it pairs fine wines with the brains it devours."
