For me, i can relate to old and younger characters but tend to be more swayed by the mature and much wiser characters. Young characters are becoming so stereotypical and making them peppy and in your face. They lack wits and always need to be guided and have a sense of direction-they can never stand on their own two feet.
Weirdly so, that's the reason why i don't really mind characters like Squall from FF and he's one year older than Tidus if I'm correct or is Tidus older...? But Squall is just so realistic and goes through stuff that most of us do-he hasn't got no real supernatural background and is just a miserable kid who grows to love and be more upbeat.
Someone like Tidus on the other hand, is obnoxious and quite thick. He takes time to catch onto things and always needs someone with him. He only gets more important at the stage when it's the last battle and that's when he actually gains my respect for some unknown reason.

But anyway, i wouldn't mind more younger characters-although i would appreciate it if they were a little more serious and smarter.

ANOTHER ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR AURON!!! (DA TRUE KATANA MASTER)
Well, not all kids are that stereotipical... Look at Larsa - he's twelve but he's so smart and serious about what he does. Don't go telling me he's an NPC because he does join your party for a while. I think XII had the most unique characters in the entire series. I wouldn't worry, were I you - I'm sure SE will be getting even more original ideas (how about an 8-year-old genius with schizofrenia?).
