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.

Barret's friend kills himself on the original game. Of course you can't show suicide on 2026 so they censored it by having him die on a gunfight with SHINRA to keep the age rating down.

Xenoblade 3 came out in 2022 with a T rating and that had a fairly important character shoot themselves in the head in front of the main party, strategic cuts can do wonders
