Final Fantasy XIII: Rated T For Sideboob

[Pendragon9]

Sideboob?

QUICK! CALL JACK THOMPSON! THIS TRAVESTY MUST END BEFORE IT CORRUPTS OUR CHILDREN! D:

 

[NickCaligo42]

XD The first official recognition of sideboob in the entertainment industry.

All I can say to that is: At last, after 9000 years I'm free! And now it's time to conquer Earth!

 

[TsunamiWombat]

I'm suddenly more interested in this game.

 

[CloggedDonkey]

Silly Funk, sideboob doesn't begin with T! That'd be Tsideboob, which would still probably sound the same, but perplex everyone at the dictionary making organisations.

The game also contains the expletives "a*s," "damn," and "hell"

'Hell' is expletive? Seriously?

I more want to know about a*s, because that is a word now apparently.

You think that's bad, A friend of mines parents said that "Fart" was an expletive.

Being an old fart, I take that personally.

 

[sylraiana]

OMG why didn't they rate it M immediately?! Violence, bad language and Sideboob?! It's like watching CSI!

But seriously, what is the world coming to when we start caring about the 1-2 seconds of Sideboob in a videogame while we are basically bombarded with stuff like that everywhere in stores and commercials?

Meh.

Parents, if you want to protect your darling children from things like this, lock them in your basement...

 

[WolfmanNougat]

"What? All I said was Damn, that guy's one hell of a badass! What's wrong with that?"

 

[GloatingSwine]

Is it good sideboob?

From the description, it's probably on Shiva. So a bit chilly. And I bet they haven't rendered that accurately

 

[LTK_70]

Man, the ESRB takes itself way too serious. Or the games they rate, for that matter. I mean, someone at the ESRB is going to have to play that game, right? And I don't believe that they're doing it out of the pureness of their heart and their sense of duty to protect the unspoilt children's souls from the tainting of videogames with sideboob. Someone has to play those games, and I'll bet they enjoy it. Come to think of it, that would be a pretty swell job, playing games to see what rating they are going to need.

 

[FROGGEman2]

What the hell is the carrying?​

 

[Hiroshi Mishima]

I'm probably going to sound wierd here.. but I really wish they'd find some way to make the games intersting without having to resort to boobs at all. I have always disliked Tifa's design in FF7, and thankfully that got better and less silicon-ish as her appearence evolved (unlike DoA). But FFX-2 just blew my away by the rampant sexuality. I'm pretty damn sure that game only sold as well as it did because of the excessive ammounts of hawt girl shown in that list of President Moocow's on page 1 of this. Story was nice, but the gratuitous ammounts of T&A the game had kept turning me off, it's probably why I strived to get the Mascot outfits so I could finally cover them up for a change.

But really, if I wasn't already turned off of Final Fantasy thanks to the last 10 decades of crap Square's been putting out, I'm pretty sure I'd be hard pressed to even care about 13. It feels like they're trying to sell the game on having a "hawt" female lead as opposed to a "girly" male lead, and the whole VS thing.

 

[RatRace123]

Are you sure it's female sideboob? With this series you can't really tell.

 

[ucciolord1]

Ungg.... Sarah Palin... No universal health care.... and the ESRB.
All reasons to move to England.

 

[FinalHeart95]

Egh, I've been following this game and I'm pretty sure I read a major spoiler in there. Way to go ESRB!
Still, I'm going to get someone a "future blouse" for christmas this year, haha.

 

[elricik]

"What about this sideboob, is that turning you on, well it shouldn't, because its my sideboob."

Honestly, that's what I thought of first after reading this article.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

the worst language they could find is a$$, damn and hell? i'm already hating this game.

Yes. Game that don't contain swear words must suck...
*rolls eyes*

 

[theultimateend]

Sideboob really is my favourite type of boob.

Like, it's standing behind the curtain and it's to shy to show it's face.

I prefer fullboob personally.

Fullboob>Gratuitous cleavage>Underboob>Sideboob.

I'm close to that. I might switch GC with underboob...but depends how gratuitous gratuitous is.

Yeah. Talk about setting the bar low. I thought people who only wanted graphics were bad .

 

[Lamppenkeyboard]

Oh no, under-ten-year-olds could run a risk of not playing this game based on their parents' discretion. Lets make a post to complain.

Two things. Perplexing dictionary making organisations would be fun. Second is that an expletive is technically any word you say with "the intent" so to speak. If you said apples when you kicked a door (accidentally of course) then it would technically be considered an expletive for that particular incident.


On topic, it's kinda funny how the game was rated for it's cutscenes.. The Aussie version will be the game with an MA15+ rating without them.
