Final Fantasy XVI is coming soon, scheduled for June 22nd, but the next game in the popular franchise will not be released on PS5 worldwide. In fact, it will be impossible to buy FF16 in an entire country despite its global release.
Produced by Naoki Yoshida, FF16 aims to be more mature and tackles a darker universe than its usual games. The producer is very popular for his gigantic work on FFXIV, so it is unfortunate that his game will be unsellable in an entire country due to censorship issues.
Final Fantasy 16 banned in Saudi Arabia?
The news broke a few days ago, with the General Audiovisual Commission announcing on Twitter that Final Fantasy XVI would not be available in their country. The government agency blames Square Enix for this decision, claiming they did not want to censor their game. Despite the blunt announcement, the agency did not want to communicate which aspects of the game they wanted to see censored, which is very strange in light of the accusatory tweet.
However, digging deeper reveals that this is not the first time that this government agency has blocked games from their country.
Final Fantasy XVI banned because of a gay character or sexual innuendos?
We already know that FF16 is a more adult game that will feature allusions to erotic situations, including half-naked characters in a bed during one of the cinematics.
In addition, some dialogues would allude to prostitution. An openly gay character would also be present in the game.
Apart from this list, the game’s elements are not more violent or dark than other games marketed in the area, so it seems that some points on this list didn’t please the commission, or even the entire list.
For now, Square Enix seems to have refused to censor its game, and unless there is a change of heart, FF16 will remain banned in the area.
