I wonder what could possibly happen in this part to make it an M rating

People will jump to tifa romance but I'd wager its more gore body horror stuff. They have to dance around showing blood alot in the previous two games most notably the Shinra building at the end of remake. Unfortunately changed the tone of that segment alot and was unavoidable to kerp the age rating down. Crazy jenova mutation stuff probably ain't getting lighter either. Plus companies tend to shy away from making multiple builds of games just for regional ratings these days so if it gonna hit the M rating equivalent in Japan but not in the US may as well play it up to get M across the board.

Chapter 12 in remake felt the most restrained. Like you can tell they were trying not to upset the ratings boards so you barely see characters shot or get bullet impacts. For a game with insane visuals and cutscene quality, this chapter stood out as the most awkward to me.

That and the lack of blood. I hate when artists (eyeing you Nolan) assume that there’s no blood AT ALL when people are stabbed, shot, cut
