It's too bad they didn't cotton on to Balthier's overall superiority as a character earlier on. If he were the actual lead character I think I may already have completed the game by now... and we'd have an FF with an adult lead character for the first time since 7.

(Yeah, and to all those people calling Cloud a whiny teen: he's 21. Learn to freakin' count from thirteen to nineteen.)

Ditto all this

You'd think they woulda caught on that people didn't mind older characters considering how popular FFVII turned out to be

They're just trying to target the demographic. I still feel from a story perspective, Lady Ashe is the actual lead but it doesn't change much cause I believe she's 19.
