Sorry. Can't be over 21.
I don't really care that much about them so I was totally fine with them not joining
Hm, perhaps subconsciously this was one of the things that irked me in the back of my mind. No variety in ages. They were all 18'ish
Plus after that reveal. Couldn't have Squall fighting beside his dad. That's just embarrassing... Oh Japan... You and your damn high-school love, and coming of age stories
Laguna was wearing sandals, he would have been a health and safety hazard. ;)
Laguna's cramps would totally slow the party up!
Only if that song could be the battle music.
That's the plan. :cool:Quote:

Dude's like 30.
To be fair I do that a lot and I'm 22Quote:

In the game Mugen Souls Z, the "old man" of the group is Shirogane. He's 29 and the group constantly identifies him as "old man." What's more, he has old man level up and victory quotes like "get off my lawn!"Quote:

Probably being anime as hell.
I think our topic is now to find the instance of the "youngest old man" character. 29 is the target,
Most of your hard-core, rpg gaming generation is 21-30+ now. They'll just have to make the characters in future rpgs older...:cool:Quote:

It really would be nice if there could be more than three party members again someday
A three-person party is a step backwards for the series, no matter how you slice it. :| /Grumpy old man
Pretty sure that's Square's way of admitting their games are too easy these days. Having a 4+ person party would be a cake walk for anyone even half adept at the typical JRPG slog. Godhood by level 10 doesn't sound all that appealingQuote:
