5 Games Parents Wrongly Thought Were Safe For Their Kids

1. Final Fantasy VII

misscloud Your child is a little bit older now, understands a few things, ready for their first RPG maybe? Maybe not this one unless they already know about cross dressing, gender confusion, pimps, genocide and a whole host of other things. The main character in this seems fine at first but is seriously messed up in the head, a blend of memories and emotions making him believe he is a mix of the person he was, the person he wanted to be and his best friend who he watched get shot to death for escaping after being experimented on by the company he worked for. That's just the surface level of this game. Later we meet the supporting cast, a man who had half of his arm shot off and is hated by his village, a childhood friend of the main hero who lies to him for nearly half the game about his past, the last surviving member of an ancient race who is your only chance of saving the world (so obviously she gets murdered before finishing the first disc), a four legged creature who is also possibly the last of another ancient race, a young ninja that steals all your magic later on, an animatronic cat who rides a stuffed animal who is controlled telepathically by a member of the evil organization, a failed space pilot and an immortal possible vampire who's been sleeping and was experimented on. Which ones did you play as a child? Which ones does your child play now?
