I've seen a loose variation of those
>Character is 12-14
>comes off as way younger

>Character is 8-11
>character somehow has the self-awareness of an adult


These are tropes perpetuated by people who do not deal with kids that age, who aren't their own children.

Parents are rarely a good judge of character.

>>86562155
>will kill gods
Where does this trope come from?
I've just played Shin Megami Tensei games, and you only kill God in just two or three of those games.
I can't possibly imagine other jrpgs being more direct with their religious imagery.

>tfw 22 year old who still watches and discusses cartoons, and gets a little saddened if he can't catch the stream and misses the post episode threads
I don't want to grow up anons, I'm comfy being a big kid at heart.

Basically every Final Fantasy game ends with the main killing some sort of god

>Kefka, who had become god of magic
>Seraphim Sephirot
>paradox witch fused with a lion god
>abstract manifestation of death
>a whole bunch of gods, then the parasite being worshiped as a god
>whatever was going on with the mmorpg
>you fight one god merged with a mortal, after you've ensured the other gods will no longer manipulate mortal history
>You fight a bunch of gods, including one who fancies himself the creator, plus a bunch more gods in the sequels

Okay, my expectations must be completely off.
I've only ever played a Final Fantasy game like twice, and one of those games was FF3 on the DS

My grandfather was moving 500lb boulders with nothing but a shovel and a wheelbarrow in his 80s. Pretty sure he could kick quite a few asses if he needed to.

>>86564663
What's that a parody of?

>>86565078
Naruto

Lord of the Flies is shit.

>>86565066
Being <12 doesn't automatically make you cute.

Being <9, maybe. 10+ is kind of where attractive kids and average looking kids start differentiating.

Most people have really shitty middle school and early high school years and then become attractive. The ones who don't are lucky and even then can get fucked over during/after puberty

>>86564663

I think Doug did this first. He was in elementary school and worrying about dates. I honestly thought they were all high school age until I saw the Disney version.

>>86562119

He's 14. The show actually has a good explanation for hos behavior though.

>>86564910
Yeah, I agree. What dynamics could have been better, in your opinion?

Breath of fire, wild warms, xenogears, Xenoblade, there are a dozen more and i've played more jrpg's than that where you do it.

Dragon Quest is a notorious example of an exception because the church in the game is always goos
