    Yeah. Totally family friendly.

    On the surface the game looks a lot more colourful and cutesy than most Western mmos- but when you follow the story and see all the themes,
    not to mention making a fairly significant villain not just a prostitute but being sold into it, just consider how prickly people get over anything non-consent related in the west, and then to make the victim a villain is pretty close to the most taboo thing you can do
    it's considerably darker than almost everything else, and it compounds that by putting many traits that should be heroic only backstories onto villains and vice versa.

    Anyway- topic at hand. There's doubtless enough regulations around it to greatly dissuade it- yes, a major villain of course does so, and as people have brought up LotR has plenty of smoking and its a fairly modern, family oriented movie. I'd prefer something more like that, whether a pipe like Gandalf's or Yotsuyu's, since it looks more fantasy like- don't think I'd wanna see anything akin to cigarettes.
