Is it wierd to anyone this game is rated T?
Not saying there's a big relevance to a game's rating system, but as person who've seen a playthrough of this game (which pretty much has the same sense of humor and writting as previous titles) it's a bit of head scratcher that a game series that was once E10+ to just flat out a T rating.
Idk the ESRB rating system is pretty dumb anyways in terms of determining the "legal" target audience.
What are your take on this?

Well I mean it's basically an age limit upgrade. Could mostly just be due to either and increase over previous titles in vulgarity, level of violence or the subject matter of visuals or lines of dialogue.

"Suggestive Themes" is the first content descriptor listed for Half-Genie Hero, whereas it's farther down the list for the E10+ games. Maybe the raters for Half-Genie Hero were just more turned on by the character designs than everybody else.

I can confirm that the game isn't any more vulgare than previous the titles. Though....

I won't be suprised if that's the reason, or maybe the ESRB board is just offended by a a blob fish wearing a foxy grandma hat, lol .

the whole mermaid falls plot was that techno baron was kinapping human girls, putting fish on their legs, AND TURNING THEM INTO BASICALLY DOG FOOD.

how many girls do you think died before she stopped it?

Yeah, that part genuinely caught me off guard, for how blatantly dark it was.

Hey, at least someone else was doing the killing there. Remember when WE killed someone? :shantae_shy:

Lol I was going to mention that, also let's not forget the animal abuse from the older title.
