Australia rates it as PG (so 12+)

A Realm Reborn is PG, but either Heavensward or Stormblood increased that rating up one notch to M – recommended 15+ but not strictly enforced.

Good to know! Thank you for the correction.

I saw a blanket statement that said some countries like Australia Germany etc were 12ish; I wanna say UK also upped it from HW or SB, but can’t be sure.

Regardless, we can’t really take the Pegi score or ESRB at face value.

I mean, Fortnite is Pegi 12, but also has official merchandise marketed to 10 year olds.

Or here in Japan has the Demon Slayer anime (with decapitation/dismemberment) also selling toys and Halloween costumes for preschool kids.

Point being, I accept my kid isn’t the target audience, but I don’t think it unusual -or weird- for a small kid to consume media beyond what is intended for them.

Doubly so if the media is going out of its way to market itself toward them.
