The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) has updated with a page for Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance], explaining the reasons behind the E10+ rating received for the game in detail. This can be read below.

Rating: Everyone 10+

Content descriptors: Fantasy Violence

Rating summary: This is an action role-playing game in which players control Sora and Riku, two characters who travel through dreams to stop an evil villain. Players use magic spells and a large key-shaped sword to defeat animal- or spirit-like creatures and classic Disney villains (e.g., Monstro the whale, Ursula the sea witch); some attacks result in colorful explosions and shockwaves that dispatch multiple enemies at once. Comical yelps can be heard throughout, and damage is indicated by depleting health meters. Some cutscenes depict other perilous situations (e.g., a woman getting rescued from being burned at the stake; a man getting struck in the chest with a sword).

Are they talking about Braig having his heart stripped out of him by Ansem in the beginning?

She does? She dresses pretty normally for her age. Wouldn't that mean that many girls look tramp-ish?

I can't think of anything else it would be, so this seems legit.

Also, I've been checking the ESRB website every day for like 2 months now. D: Finallyyyyy they update. *deletes bookmark*

Considering she's a video game character, I wouldn't think much of it. It's pretty much only her skirt hanging a little low that makes it seem that way, but otherwise she's perfectly fine.

So, did they review the JP version of the game, or were they able to do it for the NA version?

The publisher (Square Enix USA in this case) supplies the ESRB with pictures/videos/text which they believe are the most controversial parts of the game, probably to some given criteria. ESRB then makes a decision based on that
