FF8 given an "M" rating originally; FOR BAD LANGUAGE!

Well, you know how most books have a proof-read copy that readers review? Well FF8 had a similar thing (it featured somethign called "Brave Swordsman somejapansese name". The original version of this didn't have the Junction sys. complete yet, the text a bit different, etc. It turns out this original copy was given an "M" rating due to bad language which they toned down in the final release. I suspect this would be text such as "Frickin' Hell" (Zell, SeeD mission) was original "F**kin' hell" sort of thing.

So, I want your opinion- due you think that FF8 would have been more true-to-teenagers-that-age if they'd included the bad language, or are you happy with the language in FF8? I myself got told there was a bit to much swearing in FF8-2, and I am going to get rid of the bits we're its not nessecary (however the quote in my sig on CA is nessecary).

Really? I never knew that... I shall have to look up any info on it!

And to be honest, judging by me and friends in england... I can safely saying we would never say "fricking" instead of "f**king"... We tended to swear quite a lot without realising it (unless we were around little kids... we'd be really careful with what we said then)

So yeah, I think it would be more true to life, because the characters aren't "high brow" or members of the "upper class" etc etc (the rich people I have known haven't uttered a "bad word" in their life...)

Seifer: "Chicken-wuss."

Zell: "OH NO YOU DIDN'T!!"

That's all I have to say. They rate FF8 M for dialogue like that?

Well Zell lines weren't exactly that, but along those lines, yeah.

They rated FF8 "M" when the dialog was different. So it would've probably been:

Seifer: Chicken-wuss
Zell: F**K YOU

(nah...)

But I think those moments where everyone's just really angry with each other and on the brink of swearing the orginal dialog HAD them swearing. Like when Laguna fell off the cliff, he would've actually said "AH SHIT!! NO WAY!" instead of "AH SH- NO WAY!!"

Yeah, on the report I read it got downgraded to a "T" rating (teen) from an M (I think it was the U.S release)

Oh, and in case anbody was wondering why I have the FF8 case and am playing it on the computer, the case got sat on my my sister, shattered, then we lost the discs. I still have the pieces of the cover :/.
