Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies

This is a role-playing game in which players assume the role of a hero who undertakes a series of quests in a fantasy world. Players can learn magic spells, explore dungeons, and battle various creatures in turn-based combat. Players select actions (e.g., 'attack,' 'defend,' and 'spells') from a menu system as various light effects and numeric values indicate damage inflicted on both monsters and players. A couple of the enemies are depicted being impaled with their own weapons (e.g., a zombie-type enemy plucks a spear out his throat at the beginning of each battle); a 'Kamikazee' spell sacrifices the caster's life to defeat all enemies. Some monsters are depicted with costumes stained in blood; for example, a 'Blood Mummy' is wrapped in red-colored bandages, and another enemy's clothing is covered with red splotches. One of the boss enemies in the game performs a 'Puff puff' attack in battle: During this attack animation, the character clutches her breasts and shakes her hips to charm enemies so they won't attack. During the course of the game, players need to deliver a keg of 'Drunken Dragon' to a creature; other alcohol references sometimes appear in text (e.g., 'Hic! I don't have enough money for the old booze anymore.'). Players can give a 'cowpat' or 'horse manure' item to a freezing character, and a 'Snot Shot' attack splatters a clear liquid at players, lowering their agility. Language such as 'hell' and 'hellish' appears in the dialogue.
