Preface
"The average age of Final Fantasy XIV players is generally considered to be in the mid-20s to late 30s, with a significant portion of the player base being adults. While many fans of the broader franchise are older (around 42), the active MMO player base is frequently cited as being younger than that, often in the 20-30 range."
Argument
If this is done I hope it introduces more mature topics, blood and overall better stories that appeal to the adult audience of this game rather than pretending it's a game for teenagers.
This has never been a game for teenagers, in fact, given the online interactions everyone talks about here I think a child would be in a safer environment playing GTA and running over prostitutes while escaping law enforcement.
