Record of Agarest War 2 squeaks past the ESRB with a Teen rating

Today the ESRB released their rating for Aksys Games’ Record of Agarest War 2 and surprisingly the title will only be given a T-rating, meaning the game is fine for anyone over the age of 13. This is a bit interesting considering just yesterday it was discovered that the Limited Edition version of the game would include a blow up character doll…

That and the fact that one of the game’s extra features is the ability to use the PlayStation Move to massage girls in the bath. Those interested in seeing the entire ESRB description can see it below and everyone eager to get the game can do so on June 27th when the game is released exclusively on the PlayStation 3.

This is a fantasy role-playing game in which players control a hero who must restore balance in a magical land. Players explore towns, travel along map points, and fight humans and creatures in turn-based combat. Action sequences consist of selecting weapons and attacks (Ice Vein, Trick Hit, Rushing Jaeger, Drop Dead, etc.) from a menu screen; damage is indicated by slashing sounds, light effects, and floating hit points above characters’ heads. The game depicts several female characters whose breasts/buttocks are partially obscured by hot-spring mist and soap suds.

During some bathhouse sequences, players can engage in massage-based mini-games, applying oil or foodstuffs (e.g., bananas, mushrooms, popsicles) to the bodies of bikini-clad women. One related achievement is called Ecstasy Time. Other still-frame images depict female characters in provocative poses (e.g., women hiding behind bed sheets; two characters eating a banana together) or engaging in suggestive dialogue: “Bigger is better, right?” The words “sh*t” and “a*shole” appear in dialogue.
