>Cid is 32
>everyone calls him "old"
???
32 is grandpa tier.
>>378742072
That's nearly twice the age of the average JRPG protagonist, he should be retired at his age.
>OP is 32
>everyone calls him faggot
>>378742072
It's a game made for 12 year olds
>>378742072
I'm pretty sure 32 is only just a few years out of the millennial age range.
He looks 40ish
>>378742072
I always assumed he was in his mid 40's. It's odd because it's not as if the cast are all teenagers, most are in their 20's, and Barrett is older than him apparently.
>mfw japs constantly assume I'm 35ish
>I'm actually 26
feels ossan man
>60 year old virgin cuck
>everyone calls him "cool"
???
It's actually a mistranslation, by "old" they mean he's crotchety and bitchy.
I entirely made that shit up.
>>378742072
To gooks 32 is old because their looks start going sour around 35-40
>>378742072
They did that with Auron too. Anyone over 17 in FF universe is a used-up old has-been only good for training the 17 year olds who will save the world. See Quistis. If you're over 25, you get grey hair
>>378742959
>mfw vincent got HOJO'd
>>378742638
Yeah, FFVII is one of the few JRPGS where most of the cast are adults.
Having Cid be 32 is just fucking weird in hindsight, but I guess this is a cultural thing.
>Haven't achieved your goals by the age of 32? You're a washed up has been, give up grandpa.
>>378742154
Ignis is 32 in the timeskip.
>>378743091
I wonder what Auron's alleged age was supposed to b-FUCKING 35!?
WAT
HE LOOKS 50
For japanese people, once you finish school and get a job, life is pretty much over.
>>378742959
>>378743181
>>378743091
>Quistis meant to be 18
>Joined the Garden later than everyone else
>became a SeeD and then an instructor really early
>For some reason they assign Squall as the leader instead of her
>>378743496
It was Squall's destiny to lead or some tripe.
FFVIII was fucking garbage. Why did it have to have the best soundtrack.
>>378743496
you also forgot the part whereshe's literally one of the kids from the orphanage
>>378743336
This is what a 50 year old in FF looks like.
>>378743441
That's hot.
>>378743612
Keeping the wall up make him age faster
>>378743612
>50 year old looks 70 and walks with a cane
God I wish they kept his original design.
>>378743590
it doesn't really have much relevancy to how super competent she apparently is to advance that quickly. She was passed around for a while before going to the garden at age 10, whereas Squall and Seifer joined at age 5. And Squall is also a guy that randomly screams "I WONT LET PEOPLE TALK ABOUT ME LIKE THAT" and runs out of the room.
>>378743579
Yes fate is brought up a lot in FF8
FF8 is such a mess but I find it really endearing for those reasons.
>>378743696
>>378743701
Ok well for comparison sake Cor is 45 and he didn't rapidly age because of magic wall draining his lifeforce.
>>378743043
You're actually not far off, "ojisan" is a casual way to refer to a middle-aged man that doesn't have a simple English analogue, so it's sometimes translated as "uncle" or "old man" which only sort of gets the point across.
>>378743815
>And Squall is also a guy that randomly screams "I WONT LET PEOPLE TALK ABOUT ME LIKE THAT" and runs out of the room.
I laughed so fucking hard at that scene.
Japan as a culture is massively insecure about age, full story at 11:00.
>>378742072
As already said, that's roughly twice the age of the average JRPG protagonist.
Cloud at 21 was pretty old for a JRPG protag. Cid is grandpa-tier.
>Cloud is the oldest FF protagonist
woah
>>378744161
Noctis must be wise sage tier for a JRPG protag at 30 then.
>>378743091
>Angeal is Zack's mentor, a tired old veteran of a thousand battles who wants to pass his skills to the next generation
>he's 25
>>378744264 refer to >>378744267
Cloud is 21, and shown as a little boy and a teen in flashbacks. FFXV actually starts with Noctis at 30, then us playing as him as a 20yo is basically a flashback and there's some flashbacks to when he's 8 too, until it goes back to the part where he's 30.
Who's the oldest non-immortal playable JRPG character?
Rowen is a strong contender at 62
>>378744267
>>378744440
I got you niggas beat
Cecil Harvey
>20 (Final Fantasy IV)
>21 (Interlude)
>37 (The After Years)
>>378744574
TaY is a different game to FF4 and he's also not the protagonist of TaY either, Ceodore is.
>>378744534
Not sure how old he is exactly
>>378742072
oh shit I'm nearly as old as he is.
>>378742338
Kek
>>378742470
Millenial range is people born 1980s to 1999 I believe so if you are 32 now you are still a millennial.
>>378744574
Lightning is over 500 by the time her series is over, potentially much older depending on how long she was in Valhalla fighting Caius at the start of 13-2
and still he is the coolest character in the cast
>>378745980
>over 500
A literal child
>>378742072
Barret's older than Cid, yet no one gives him shit for being in his mid 30's.
>>378744280
that doesn't make any sense. isn't zack 25?
>>378745674
"moooom stop!"
>>378745980
except no one cares about shitty lightning so you might as well count her out
>>378743336
bullshit, i don't believe you, that doesn't make sense!
>>378746720
Death take its toll
>>378746478
Zack was 16 at the beginning of Crisis Core so by the time it ends he's 23 iirc
>>378742072
Imagine being on a date:
> "oh, you're in your 30's and still play video games. Your parents must be so proud."
Imaginge actually having kids and explaining to them why you are playing Persona 5 instead of being a grown-adult.
23 is the cutoff age. After that get a man's hobby.
>>378747060
>changing your hobbies to appeal to strangers
>not being successful enough at that age to pull of doing whatever the fuck you want
