The internet isn't a safe place for children. Parenting is required.

Yes, lets supervision childs 24/7 because its that easy.
Did you always had your parents sitting next to you while you were playing games? Because I know for a fact that I and many others didnt in our early teen age. No parent would expect this amount of degeneracy from an 13+ Online RPG. If there is a MMORPG that needs this 24/7 "parenting" its for sure only FF14 in 2025.

Honey, when I was 13 the internet hadn't been invented yet. And yet by that age everyone was well aware of how sex worked, that "courtesans" existed, and that taking candy from strangers was a bad idea.

The "degeneracy" that you refer to is not something that appeals to me in the slightest. Equally, it is completely invisible to me because I play vanilla.

If a parent decides they do not wish their 13 year-old to play FFXIV, that is their decision. The game does make explicit or heavily implicit references to topics including prostitution, sex trafficking and r@pe. When a child is ready to be exposed to such themes varies between cultures and families.

But the parenting required here is simply to check your kid isn't modding, and to give them the same general warnings they should receive for using any form of social media. TikTok, IG, et al are a far greater risk than FFXIV.
