STAR OCEAN THE SECOND STORY R

STAR OCEAN THE SECOND STORY R is rated T for Teen by the ESRB with Fantasy Violence, Mild Blood, Mild Language, Mild Suggestive Themes, and Use of Alcohol. This is a role-playing game in which players control heroes attempting to save their planet from destruction. From a third-person perspective, players explore various worlds while performing quests and battling enemies (e.g., bandits, beasts, lizards, phantoms). Players use swords, guns, sticks, and melee-style attacks to defeat enemies. Combat can be fast-paced at times, highlighted by gunfire, impact sounds, and explosions. Cutscenes depict further instances of violence and/or blood: a character injured by a bomb; a character shooting a firebolt at another; bodies lying in pools of blood. The dialogue contains some innuendo and suggestive material (e.g., “You little pervert”; “I didn't know you had a voyeur fetish”; “I'm just amazed how big and meaty yours are, Rena”; "How about I try poking them some more?”). During the course of the game, players can encounter drunken characters slurring and hiccupping in taverns. The words “bastard” and “p*ss” appear in the game.
