As far as PS3 role-playing games go, Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch is one family friendly game. In Japan, itās rated all ages and promoted with one of the countryās most popular child stars. In South Korea, itās a different story.
As The Korea Times pointed out, gambling is a sensitive area for South Korea, especially after recent nationwide gambling scandals. Gambling laws have already caused headaches for other game developers, such as Blizzard with Diablo III, and they seem to be why an all-ages title like Ni no Kuni is getting slapped with an adult rating.
Ni no Kuni is a collaboration between game developer Level-5 of Professor Layton fame and Studio Ghibli, the anime maker behind classics like My Neighbor Totoro
