synopsis

Advice for consumers This game has received a PEGI 12 because it features moderate violence, use of bad language and scenes of a sexual nature. Not suitable for persons under 12 years of age. Brief outline of the game Re-released JRPG that takes place a year after the events of Atelier Ryza 2. Ryza's final adventure begins when a mysterious archipelago suddenly appears off the coast of Kurken Island. Content specific issues This game contains sexual posturing. Each playable character has different outfits that the player can dress them in. Some female characters have bikini or skirt outfits, and when crawling through caves, the camera will intentionally focus on their buttocks and crotch area where their underwear is visible. This game also contains the use of bad language, including 'piss'. This game contains depictions of non-realistic looking violence towards human-like characters and fantasy characters. During combat, bright lights and magical effects appear on impact of attacks and numbers show the amount of damage that is being inflicted. Characters grunt in pain and stagger backwards when attacked, but they quickly regain their balance and continue with the fight until their HP is depleted and they need to be revived. There are never any visible injuries shown on the characters. The same is true for the fantastical enemies that the player fights throughout. Other issues There is a storyline present in the game which focuses on a father and sons’ abusive relationship. It is heavily implied that the father gets drunk and attacks his son, however no scenes of abuse are shown.
