Excessive gore and foul language diminishes the "dark theme" in story telling and just makes it look more edgy rather than dark.

Older FF games has already touched on dark subjects like chemical warfare, genocide, human experimentation, fates worse than death, child/teen student soldiers, the tragedies of war etc.
