Anyone elses parents not let them play this game because of Sin?

@Tifa: Within reasons, obviously. I meant more along the lines of supporting what they are interested in such as cultivating their interest in reading, writing, being creative in some way, etc. There is a huge difference between supporting your childs interest in video games compared to supporting their interest in selling their bodies. Refusing to allow them to play a video game because they ignorantly assume that it is against their religion or because it is 'evil' isn't what a parent should do in this situation.

My folks got me FFX as a gift for my 20th birthday, so it would've been mighty odd if they'd tried to police it on moral grounds. Especially since they're atheists.

Besides, the entire point of Yuna's journey is to bring peace to the world by defeating Sin for ever - I'd have thought that most religions would be entirely ok with that sort of thing.

Not when it draws parallels between here and Jesus.

No, but that's because my parents were never that extreme. The only game I wasn't allowed to play was Gran Theft Auto and that had nothing to do with religion.

This is kinda embarrassing but, back when FFX first came out, my mom wouldnt let me play it. She was listening to me play the game and heard them keep saying Sin over and over so she made me turn the game off because she said it was against our religion. Its kinda embarrasing, but thinking about the remaster now reminded me of that and I always wondered if that happened to anybody else. Well?

You should probably run away from home. It doesn't sound like you live in a healthy household.

No, but I was over 18 when X was released any how. I didn't come from a spiritual extreme family anyhow though. My mom read Tarot and read books on Buddha, my older sister is a witch, and my father always said the 10 commandments are a good guide to common sense, but to use your own mind when deciding what to believe or not to believe, pretty much. If anything they would be more of the type to worry about me playing that old school Noah's Arc NES video game (which I did), for fear of being brainwashed early on.
