Though the officialCrisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 Reunionrelease datehas yet to be revealed, news has already popped up online that indicates the action RPG has received its ESRB rating. The remaster has been given the “T” rating as well as tags for blood and violence. Compared to the original PlayStation Portable title, the rating remains the same but will be missing tags like mild language and mild suggestive themes. This may mean that Square Enix is taking a more censored approach to the remaster, given how graphic and violent the original could be in terms of gameplay and story scenes.
