Why are FF characters always so young compared to how they look?

Why are FF characters always so young compared to how they look?

Steiner is only 33 for example.

Hes got makeup on tho

Steiner had a hard life, that's why.

No idea. I'm 28 almost 29 and Gladiolus looks older than me and he's supposed to be 23.

Maybe because the series is aimed at teens so they try to keep the ages "relatable"?

>Play FF VIII
>Bunch of 20 something elite soldiers
>Later on find out they are all between 15 and 19

Rikku is 15 in X and 17 in X2

(built for sex and DTF)

it's a japanese thing

Idk why but in Japan you're considered "old" at a much younger age. Women in their 30s are basically considered grannies.

Also ages in FF games just don't make sense at all.

>Cid is constantly called Grandpa
>acts like a crotchety old man
>he's 32

It's just like in TV, when they use older actors for younger roles. Just ignore it.

>constantly called and refers to himself as old man
>Is 35

You know they could at least round it up to an even 40 and then it might SLIGHTLY start making sense

Too big tits for a 15yo

Decades of shonen fucked up the japs minds and now they think fantasy stories are only worthwhile if the main characters are kids or young adults.

It makes sense for TV and movies because there are all kinds of child labor laws even if the actor is a high schooler.

He's old by Japanese standards.

Fun fact: when a Japanese woman hits 25 she's considered "too old" for marriage.

Japs are a bunch of slanty eyed, ageist pedo niggers who rike 'em young.

>/threading your own posts

I didn't /thread shit. Fuck you.

Quistis is 18.
She was a teacher, if you recall.

For the japanase, life ends after high school.

Of course you didn't :^)

Thanks a lot, you stupid nigger.

This is the dumbest shit and needs to stop.
Phantasy Star Zero was the worst fucking offender.
>THIS OLD MAN'S STILL GOT SOME FIGHT IN HIM, THIS OLD MAN AIN'T TOO BAD HUH, I GUESS THIS OLD MAN'S TIME IS UP - as said by a 21 year old human man referring to himself as the old man
>everyone treats the mayor like he's going to fall apart and die at any minute because he's so fucking old (protip: the mayor is 41)

hey fuck you nazi

>this thread

Jesus christ, I fucking hate japs.

>japs don't even have college dramas or stories or whatever the fuck, despite everyone obsessing over TOKYO U, I WANNA GET INTO TOUDOU, MY LIFE DREAM IS TO MAKE IT IN TOKYO UNIVERSITY GUIZE OHMAHGOD
Aoi Hono is likely the single exception to exist.

Sephiroth was 17 during the Nibelheim incident.

It doesn't help that most Japanese games are aimed at teens an otaku manchildren, college people are too old for that.

I wonder how well burmecian woman age.

Actually he was 20 during Crisis Core.

Haha

jrpg parties with no teenagers?

(haley don't count, he is the designated kid)

There's actually a fair amount of manga set in college, just not adapted to drama or anime.
Just search for seinen instead of your usual shonen bullshit.
