I am very happy that it says Multi Platform as I don't have a Vita but I want the PS3 version as I'm not quite ready to leave Arland just yet Razz
Although like Totori Plus I'm very confused, disappointed and a little annoyed it's gotten an R18+ rating in Australia...

Although much like Totori Plus it doesn't affect me, Totori Plus was because it was both digital only (so no ID check) and on a console I didn't have, and now because I'm 18 in a month and can get the new Rorona when it comes out anyway Laughing
Still, I think it's stupid and ridiculous but hey I'm not the one making the decisions.

Most likely it's because Rorona gets man-handled alot throughout the course of the game.

I can see where they saw the issues, I just think it's a wild jump. This and Totori were both originally released at PG so it's just a bit too excessive of a difference to me.
Usually AUS ratings are a lot less conservative to US ratings, although then there was the Azumanga Daioh incident where the first volume is MA15+ and the rest of the series was mostly G and PG... (And the first volume was the only volume I ever saw being advertised in CHILDREN'S magazines. That's something I find hilarious)

"References" to sexual violence? That's enough to make it adults-only? As if we needed more proof that Australia's a fascist Puritanical theocracy.

Until they saw the R rating. Then they'll get a copy imported.

Are there any new scenes in the game. Or is the new panel rating the games today more prudes? There are usually oddities in the ratings here due to the people rating the stuff are only human. There isn't usually that huge a difference though. Rolling Eyes

Kids don't import, and they don't play these games nowadays, so to them this is all inconsequential.
