>Design a character clearly meant to be in his late 40s/early 50s

Why do JRPG designers do this? Do they have no context for what people in their 30s look like?

In their culture you're middle aged the second you hit 25
That's not "their culture", that's just culture. You're supposed to have a house, a steady job and a family at that age. Doesn't matter if you live in Japan or Sweden.
>a house
Hey grandpa, how is it living in the fifties? If you want to be realistic, chalk that one off the list.
They're games for kids. Anyone over 20 looks old to them.
Auron lived a hard and stressful life/unlife. Him aging like shit is entirely reasonable.
Any other examples of this? Barret from FFVII comes to mind. He's like 32 and has a kid and an entire life prior to Midgar, portrayed as an old man
Not a game but Jet from Cowboy Bebop was 36.
Jet looks 36
That's hilarious. He looks at least 50.
The kid's not his
He's also not shown as an old man, just older than the rest of avalanche
>The kid's not his
True, it's his friend's of a similar ages. Marlene is 5 or some shit isn't she
Might not be his kid but he was married before the game
Barret is 35, just like Auron. It's Cid who's 32. Also, Marlene isn't his daughter, she's white and he's black. His entire life before Midgar was about 30 years, so yes, he lived 30 years before Midgar. I always feel dumb when I explain simple stuff to dumb people.
Ramba Ral was 35 and looked like this.
>tfw 30 yo
>tfw body already feels like shit
>tfw can't really enjoy food because I easily get fatter
>tfw losing hair in some places, getting hairier in others
>tfw I've been having the shits all week and even ripping a fart is too dangerous for me
I don't even drink/smoke, not even fat, but holy shit I am prone to getting ill from the smallest fricking thing.
I'm 36 and usually I feel pretty well, the only thing I can't eat are onions because I get diarrhea.
30s is so fricking cool because its when the chickens come home to roost, all the people that treated themselves like shit finally visually have indications of it
I'm 24 but young peoe think I'm 19-20 and older people think I'm 16. Physically I feel quite well.
I'm 33 and people think I'm that age or in my 20s and I feel lethargic and hate life.
28, i get 23 a lot. Older people think i'm younger and most younger people think i'm younger than i am, but not as young as some older people think i am.
im 29 and I literally had this 20 yo tell me I looked like I was 21-22 but I had to be probably like 25 since I had a beard
she didn't believe me when I told her I was 29
Same here I’m 29 but everyone thinks I’m 20 and think that I’m fricking with them when I tell them my actual age
Be sure to eat healthy, workout, and avoid too much alcohol, smoking, and sunlight
It starts changing around then, in another few years you'll either start looking your age or you get set with unsettling baby-face that doesn't match your voice.
>eat healthy
I don't eat healthy but don't eat junk either. neutral
>workout

>sunlight
avoid sunlight? doing that
Work out dude.
NTA
>work out since i was 18 (12 years ago now)
>still feel like shit
what now smartie pants
35 going on 55
Resident Evil was bad about this too. Chris and Jill were like a 20 year old ex Air Force pilot and special forces veteran or something like that. Rebecca was an 18 year old chemistry prodigy with a PhD slumming it on the local swat team. For some reason Barry and Wesker were pretty realistic though.
Cid is a worse offender, why'd you single out Barret?
Ever lived in a world with a constant looming apocalypse in your face where you spend your entire life fighting monsters?
WRPGgays are fricking moronic hypocrites.
b***h when the characters look young.
b***h when the characters look old.
Ummm yes, the apocalypse is climate change and the monsters are right wingers, chud
>32
don't smoke, kids
he looks 32 though
Moisturize, homie.
Watch less movies, that look is pretty normal for a labor-heavy 32 year old who smokes.
Please go out side you freak.
I do, every day?
no you don't or you would know how people actually look and act
post age and hairline
dude no he looks 50
Zoomers have a different idea of 32. Han solo in the prequels is a guy who looks like he's in his 30s but to zoomers he looks 19
explains the quality of these threads this weekend. don't zoomies have to sleep for school tomorrow?
Seen older 25 year olds irl
I have too but they have really shit lifestyles, like they drink and smoke constantly and have ended up in the hospital multiple times
He has no wrinkles on his forehead or anything. He has some rather pronounced nasolabial folds, but you can get those as early as your mid-20s. His hair has some greying, but you can actually start graying in your early 30s as well.
You people always judge a character's age based on their personality rather than their actual physical features. Auron acts like a crotchety old man but nothing about his appearance screams 50s.
>40
For women it's the opposite, they keep looking hot to not lose the coomer audience.
Ain't it the truth?
isn't she aging slower due to getting T-VIRUS'd?
Yes
Not yet, they're both canonically 10 years younger than that, but they'll get there.
doesn't that mean that any of her offspring would naturally have the T-virus too?
No main character in Resident Evil except Ethan Winters ever had or will have sex.
I see why they killed him off then, the series couldn't handle that big of a gigachad
Barry has kids
Wesker has a kid
One of those is a funny side man and the other jizzed into a petri dish while pumping to old Rebecca polaroids
Not enough data to say definitively, but I don't imagine any sexually reproducing infected animals wouldn't give birth to infected offspring. Like black plague survives having resistance to HPV or whatever was it.
Should have kept the blonde hair. Did she dye it brown or did her hair pigments heal?
That's remake-continuity Jill, and they haven't remade RE5 yet so they could very well retcon Wesker making her blond so he can have sex with himself
I just don't see Wesker caring about women long enough to frick one
He did have a kid. But in this case I think he did it just to show Chris up, not only fricking his longtime partner and friend, but doing it before Chris himself ever did. He also fricked Rebecca who Chris really cares for and wanted to frick Claire for the same reason.
>have the formula for eternal youth
>waste time making dumb monsters for warfare that always get killed by a single guy instead
If I as an Umbrella shareholer I would be fricking pissed.
this can't be real.
When does she get blonde hair? Is that still canon. They had a period where the followed that blonde hair agent fad.
RE5. They're going to remake it next so we'll see if they keep the whole blond Jill thing.
pretty sure a file in re5 explains her blonde hair came from the mind control device
RE3 takes place like a month after RE1.
She's still wearing that outfit 17 years later.
I would read One Piece if Rape Bastard Luffy was the actual design and age.
don't care how old or young he is, he's kino
>that little smirk
unfiltered kino
Auron is so fricking cool.
I own a very similar pair of glasses and wear them around all the time.
>dramatic cutscene for a trash mob that dies in one hit
kino
>shows up
>oneshots monster
>casually keeps walking
yea I'm thinking kino
He dies in one hit BECAUSE he's Auron, you absolute moron.
my "kino" was not ironic
As a kid, Auron was the coolest fricking character ever, from his attitude to his design to his voice
and that hasn't changed, he's still cool as frick
>always have arm in a sling
I thought he had a dead arm he couldn't move until this scene
>used to put my arm in a sling on my jacket in middle school after playing FFX to look like Auron
thanks for bringing back that cringecore memory, now I won't be able to sleep tonight
I mean that would be cooler and fit his backstory better than simply doing that one thing some Samurai did.
And he has the coolest fricking theme of any FF character
This has to be the remaster. Also they should've given him more muscle. Wakka lools better than him.
I'd imagine it's hard to gain muscle when you're dead
It's an FMV you clod, it can't be the remaster model.
I also hate how Guts is like 23 or whatever but looks older than this.
to be fair Guts has had a ROUGH 23 years
There's no good excuse for it man, the art just got fricked up. He looked amazing until he turned into an old man for no good reason.
The problem is the the creators can never properly inout the passage of time. The timeframe from guts being in the eclipse to guts being in elfheim should be like 10 years later. Then I could see and accept guts as an old man tired from his battles. Especially if he had been using the berserker armor for all these years. Not one arc later and guts looks like solid snake
what are you talking about
He just got a more defined jaw, as a man should in his 20s
you grow that over your life not in a couple of months
My nephew grew foot taller and put on 30lbs over the summer
and in 2 more months he would look like he's 50 according to berserk logic
But Guts never stopped looking like he's in his 20s. You're projecting shit that didn't happen.
you're dumb. don't reply to me again.
NTA but if anything to single out about Guts is how he's not completely deformed by all the physical abuse and wounds he gets
Auron is so fricking cool
I always thought the scene with Seymour stepping in to fight the fiend whilst aurpn amd tidus watch was cooler than this scene. But this scene was cooler than the initial anima scene where it's hard to tell exactly what anima is doing.
Funny thing about Seymour, while Seymour is attempting to groom and recruit Yuna he compares himself to Lord Zaon to Yuna's Lady Yunalesca. But Seymour has more in common with Yu Yevon. A crazed summoner who calls the souls of the dead and fashions them into armor that he uses to kill indiscriminately. That's what Seymour does. I recently replayed X and I don't think there's anyone else in the game that does that. Which speaks to his ability as a summoner but also to the horror he would wreak if he were to succeed in his goal.
I liked Jecht and Braska and all but Seymour was the true Final Boss. His subplot with his mother was well done. I think though that Maester Micah was just as evil as seymour. The game just didn't show it well but Micah should've been the boss in bevelle which could've fleshed him out more in that regard. What makes Yu Yevon crazy? The game seems to portray his decisionas a sort of samson option that had to be done if I'm remembering correctly
Although micah just deciding to give up and die was very unique and something I had never seen before.
The only thing the game implies is that the enormity of creating Sin and summoning Dream Zanarkand just broke his mind. To the point where now he only ever does one thing for eternity
>Bahamut: Tell me, what do you know about Yu Yevon?
>Tidus: He’s what makes Sin come back!
>Yuna: Sin is his armor. It protects him.
>Bahamut: Yu Yevon was once a summoner, long ago. He was peerless. Yet now he lives for one purpose: only to summon. He is neither good, nor evil. He is awake, yet he dreams. But…maybe not forever.
>Tidus: Yeah, that’s right. Because we’re ending it.
As for Mika, he was just apathetic to the point of malevolence. As far as he was concerned Sin can never die so it was pointless to actually try. He was using Yevon to create a status quo that would never change. Yeah things would never get better but they would never get worse either
>Mika: Men die. Beasts die. Trees die. Even continents perish. Only the power of death truly commands in Spira. Resisting its power is futile.
>Yuna: But what of Sin? I am a summoner, my lord, like my father before me! I am on a pilgrimage to stop the death that Sin brings. Are you… Are you telling me that, too, is futile? Grand Maester Mika, I am not alone! All the people who have opposed Sin… Their battles, their sacrifices– were they all in vain?
>Mika: Not in vain. No matter how many summoners give their lives, Sin cannot be truly defeated. The rebirth cannot be stopped. Yet the courage of those who fight gives the people hope. There is nothing futile in the life and death of a summoner.
>Auron: Never futile… but never ending.
>Mika: Indeed, that is the essence of Yevon.
>Yuna: Lord Mika!
>Mika: Yevon is embodied by eternal, unchanging continuity, summoner.
>Yuna: No…that can’t be right!
>Mika: Those who question these truths– they are traitors!
>Yuna: Lord Mika!
Yeah see Yu Yevon just became a drone. He was likely always an ok person. His daughter was crazy and I could never see Seymour making a dream guadosalam but I don't see alot of things in common between Yu and Seymour. Maybe Seymour and Tidus.
I never saw Yunalesca as crazy. Moreso I see her in the same light I see Mika in. Yunalesca just accepted that actually killing Sin is impossible. Both Yunalesca and Mika know the whole repentance thing is bullshit. Sin's resurrection has nothing to do with how pious Spira is. But nothing is strong enough to actually kill Sin and get at Yu Yevon inside of it so she and Mika and everyone in Yevon pedal this nonsense because it gives people a slim hope to hang onto. Because of people understood how fricked they really were, they'd just give up and die.
Which in the abstract I understand. But I Mika to be unforgivable because he threw the Al Bhed under the bus to sell this shit. Can't do anything about Sin but you can throw rocks at the Al Bhed and not die. With Yunalesca I just find get pitiable. An enemy that must die but still pitiable.
I was with yunalesca up to the point where she said "well I will free you from your despair..." at which point she assaults the party. But I suppose you could cover it up with her having to keep the truth secret but it was already known by the church plus everyone would've just branded yuna and co as blasphemous heretics anyway. Maybe all the isolation made her quick to resort to violence. Although she must be able to go the zanarkand matrix anytime she pleases.
The al bhed hatred was necessary for the whole plan to work smoothly. Somebody has to be the bad guys holding spira back(other than Sin ofc)
Yunalesca seems to think her way is the only way and got offended when Yuna told her to frick off. That's kind of the thing FFX as a whole interrogates. The whole concept of incuriousity and just accepting shit without thinking or looking at other ways. Yuna was going to march her petite ass up a mountain to commit suicide and her adoptive brother and sister were just gonna let it happen. That's probably why Tidus was necessary. Because he was asking questions that everyone else just took for granted. Because the world they were born into literally forbids you asking questions on certain topics. Granted the threat of Sin is very real but come on, NO ONE wonders where it came from?
>Granted the threat of Sin is very real but come on, NO ONE wonders where it came from?
I mean, aside from the entire Al Bhed culture who probably talk about that shit all the time, but nobody can understand a word they're saying and all the temples kind of agreed to kill them all on sight outside of Blitzball season.
>hairless arm/armpit
this always bothered me. does he wax them? not very badass
probably was a b***h to animate
Holy shit Auron has a second arm?
They don't make cool japanese homies like they used to...
Auron is like that cool uncle you always wanna hang out with

JRPG time is convoluted, its why 17 year olds are hardened mercenaries
He's been undead for ten years by the time the game starts. He looked his age when he died.
most MC JRPG protags are 15-16. For some reason only having 3 years of highschool warped their entire fricking society
I played Final Fantasy X on release and am now older than Auron.
Feels strange.
>loses friends
>gets pissed off and tries to kill prostitute that tricked his bros
>gets mortally wounded instead
>dies on his way crawling back to gagazet
Potentially it's something of his own choosing. We're not entirely sure how being unsent works in the game but apparently just based on what happens to Seymour it's fair to say how one appears is of their own choosing.
>this image was the best thing to ever come out of FF7R
In Japan, your life is essentially over after high school/college. You become a wagie and then you wage until you die.

What are the odds that both of them cried for Chappu when it was over?
It's impossible to for a child that played this game not to nut at least once to her.
As a horny teenager I preferred Rikku back when FFX released. Now I still do she's fricking perfect.
Rikku was amazing. It's like SE wanted you to coom. Rikku was like a little sister to me. Yuna made me have unrealistic expectations on how women are mentally. I coomed so much to ffx. Remember that one doujin where rikku gets fricked by auron but everybody on the ship was having sex and rikku wanted it. Good stuff.
I think though maturity is realizing that rikku can never truly compare to the best theif in the franchise.
>pic related
She's perfect, why can't she exist irl, irl women can't even carry all that materia inside them
I want to lick her tummy
Same except I only like her original design in X but artists circlejerk over her X-2 design

Back in 2002 I thought it was the rightful potrayal of a 35 years old guy.
Now I'm 35 myself, and the last time I replayed the game he honestly seemed like a a 60-something guy to me. A super-strong 60-something guy, but still, an old man nonetheless.
They always do this shit. Like Jill and Chris in RE1 already being seasoned retired special forces despite being like 23 years old
People looked much older in their 30s up until about 40 or 50 years ago than they do today. Your average 30 year old looks like a teenager that just doesn't get enough sleep, their features are all soft and child-like.
some people just look old for their age or age more for a lot of reasons
Daniel Craig only looks a couple years older, 10 or less at most.
Jej I just managed to beat FF VIII with no weapon upgrade, no lv up, 1 GF equipped per character, no Quezacotl (aka Card), and with less than 100 kills. Fricking Sorceress (boss) in Ultimecia Castle counts as 11 kills.
Shit was actually fun. I didn't kill Ultima/Omega tho.
Should I try No Sphere Grid in X? Is that shit hard?
Play 12 and don't be an autist that does the xp trick. 12 has a way more fun lvling system for challenges like what you're doing. Or 7.
??
What EXP trick? You mean grinding with Vaan (solo) so that other chars can be his level when they join?
Rubber band.
Ps2 controller.
Westersands.
Nuff said.
And after doing this you must argue against people saying the game plays itself, like true FF12 fanboys. Fricking morons I swear to god.
I don't think it's fair to slam ff12 for such an oversight. FF13/15 deserved the hatred 12 got back then. 12 was the last time SE actually TRIED.
You probably didn't even play the original FF12. The gameplay was tedious as frick and not very fun and the story sucked. It was the first FF I played where I didn't give a single frick about the side stuff because it felt utterly pointless.
They spent a lot of time on the visuals but overall it's really soulless and was boring to play.
IZJS "fixed" it by making it easier, faster(2x speed), and removing a ton of tedium by letting you get gambits earlier and TZA made it baby mode easy with 2 job boards and 4x speed.
You say you didn't give a frick about the sidestuff yet there was so much to do. There were even hidden sidequests you could've skipped right over.
The game sucls but I just think that it never deserved such vitriol. Especially when 12>13.
It felt completely pointless because I wasn't even enjoying the main stuff. To me it was barely even a FF game.
>not many treasures and tons of them were boring RNG shit
>chocobo was basically implanted only to say it was there
>soulless airship and almost entirely dead feeling world
>boring as shit main story
>zero likeable characters
Don't give me that shit about Fran and Balthier being cool, they're just as boring as the rest of them.
I like the idea of hunts but if I'm not immersed into the game and the combat is mostly boring there's just no point to them.
Balthier is Han Solo, and Fran is Chewbacca.
>tall
>hairy
>comes from forest, but now lives outside
>you can't understand her when she speaks
Woah dude haven't heard that one before
Very superficial comparison.
That's quite a hot take
FF12 is just star wars even the music sounds the same
>Xgays actually believe this
every single one of those "criticisms" is applicable to (you)r favorite game
Also FF13 got tons of hate. I don't think FF15 got enough though. The company should have folded after that shit but people ate it up.
no sphere grid will be easier than the challenge you just did
Auron and Vivi are the best Final Fantasy characters.
I think Auron is inspired by Mel Gibson in some way.
I always thought he's supposed to be Clint Eastwood.
They finally fixed it with FF16. Pic rel are 33yo and 30yo
Maybe that's what 35yo MEN looked like back in 2001. This isn't america with your "30 is the new 20" mentality
>Orson Welles was 25 when he directed / starred in Citizen Kane

It has always been celebrated for it's excellence.
It's really funny in Ace Attorney where everyone is some kind of super lawyer prodigy. Even funnier in TGAA where the main dudes were in their twenties and thirties but proficient legal assistant, genius inventor, and rookie detective were all underage girls.
its even funnier if you live in japan and understand how moronic education and japanese people in general are.
the thought that any jap could be some intellectual prodigy, or that any school in japan would be consider a high ranking school for the intellectually elite, makes me guffaw out loud
You sound obsessed. Japan has notable schools and has contribited to modern society. Japan as a country is superior to many states. Ohio, Florida and Texas just to name a few.
Conversely, you sound like a teenager with very little wordly experience outside of what you see on twitter, someone who values popular safe opinions over those formed from years of direct experience and objective analysis.
In their culture you’re old aged the second you turn 14
>14
anon you're considered a hag by the time you hit 12
The character designs and opening intro were the only thing I remember enjoying from this game which I stopped playing 1/3 in. Although later in life I hear alot people say the job system was flawless. To me a perfect job system was already done in V. Why do people say X-2 acheived success in this regard?
I can't remember a thing about this game but I remember enjoying it. I think it was just mindless grinding with fun combat, I dunno. No one ever really hated on it aside from the glaring girl power stuff. Ganker used to make fun of that "what can I do for you" song but that's it.
When I first got X I bought X-2 so I could naturally play afterwards. Whilst playing X I kept wondering exactly how the story will turn in a way that causes Yuna to look the girl on the cover of X-2
That's funny. I can see how that must have had you thinking lol.
>I kept wondering exactly how the story will turn in a way that causes Yuna to look the girl on the cover of X-2
I always chopped it up to a quarter-life crisis combined with losing your man
it's funny, she probably didn't put much thought into it either, she fully expected to sacrifice herself once she got to Zanarkand
The idea is that Tidus's influence over Yuna from FFX has carried over into X-2. So Yuna has adopted Tidus's frayed out hair, his hoodie, the Zanarkand crest on her chest, and the asymmetrical bottoms using her dress in lieu of Tidus's pants. She's also incorporated Tidus's more outgoing and extroverted personality although she's still demure when compared to the literal ball of energy that is Rikku. And her own personality hasn't faded completely because she still has that I GOTTA SAVE THE WHOLE WORLD mentality even though she's trying her damndest to not do that and it's even working against her when 2 political factions tries using her celebrity status to turn her into a figurehead for their ideals. The first 2 chapters of the game is her trying so hard not to get forced into the heroine role before chapter 3 when she starts meandering back into it and chapter 4 and 5 is her saying frick it, she's too far gone to turn back now
If fun = meaningful decisions/ minute then X-2 gets a lot of praise because battles move much faster. It has the job system of 5 but unlike 5 you can change your job at any time. We're back to ATB but the ATB is cranked up because enemies will attack often and aggressively. Even interrupting your attacks or you can interrupt theirs. All classes have their own unique designs for each character with their own animations for attacking, victory, and movement. So while it's easy to call it Charlie's Angels: the game, there's far more effort put into it than even some modern games.
agreed, to this day it has the best implementation of the ATB system they've ever made
I guess I'm the only one who liked Paine the most
You just have to play it. V jobs were great. X-2 did it better. To the point I doubt 100% we ever see a job system in FF again. Kind of like how X turn based system made square go away from turn based. They did it best, no reason to keep fricking with it.

Look at pictures of WW2 veterans after the war. They aged decades despite the conflict not lasting that long. My grandpa and his cousins had a before and after pictures. They were mostly late teens early 20s when they enlisted and they look like it, but they look like they were in the 40s in their post-war image when the survivors returned.
When i watch those podcasts with special ops vets, they talk about training Afghans when they were 25-26. When you focus on that fact that most soldiers are younger and most special ops guys are below 35, it really emphasizes how young people are put into crazy positions in the military at least. The specific interview i watched was a Green Beret. Crazy to think that guys are out there advising foreign fighters and conducting operations. That's a lot of authority. I'm 28, and i can't imagine doing that stuff.

Why didn't Sin ever destroy Bevelle?
Bevelle and the Yevon religion they ran kept everyone from trying to defeat Sin for real.
And "sin" is aware of this?
Why not?
You have to give certain conceits to storytelling anon, trying to figure out Yevon's tax policies isn't going to make it better or worse
I mean if Bevelle is destroyed that could have drastically changed the entire Spira world. Bevelle furthermore looks absolutely immaculate and has it's own dragon guardian. I don't think it's fair to act like I'm trying to go after something relatively inconsequential.
Sin doesn't attack Bevelle. Bevelle just also happens to be the center of the religion effectively worshipping Sin (or the guy powering Sin). It's not a big stretch of the imagination to find a reason he doesn't attack them, and because of that the reason why doesn't really need to be spelled out. But the reason really isn't important at all to the plot.
Sin is an entity made of many souls. Naturally it must know that bevelle is essential to it's cause. The game doesn't go too much into Sin lore. I remember for years I would tell people om gamefaqs or neoseeker that they had to go back to the temples during postgame to get all their questions answered. What FFX never answered was the temple on Sin.
Sin stays away from Bevelle because it has Vegnagun buried beneath it.
No one knows what Vegnagun even is in FFX. What's more it was never deployed
Vegnagun was Bevelles answer to Sin, but mechanical rather than magical. it's basically Skynet attached to a metal gear, it was never deployed because it was paranoid and unstable. Nontheless it's something that could concevably kill Sin, the fact that the cast doesn't know about it has no bearing in FFX. Sin staying the frick away from the only thing it considers a threat is a perfectly valid explaination
I'd have to find the dialogue but going by memory the Crusaders try REALLY hard to distract Sin during Blitzball season. Which translates to the Crusaders turning themselves into easy, attractive targets to be mulched so that everyone else can enjoy Blitz season unmolested.

Yojimbo was moronic and a majority of yunas aeons were bad designs. Alexander of FF9 mogs a majority of FFX summons. Anima was the only saving grace. FF8 will forever have the best summons. And so it goes.
It's a Japanese cultural issue where they think life is over after the age of 25 and everyone 30 and above is senior citizen status.

Explain how 30 year old Sakura Sensei mogs the hell out of the entire cast then.
Does newer anime still use this shimmering effect that old anime did?
No, digital anime is soulless in every sense of the word, there's no artistry in it.
I think think digital animation could be better. it's less a problem of "digital" animation and more a problem of cheap, outsourced animation. if we had the animators we had in the 40s-50s we would've made great digital animation.
What animu? Kinda looks like Urusei Yatsura but I've only read the first volume or so.
>cultural issue where they think life is over after the age of 25
I mean, I get your point, but they're also not wrong lol. Skin stops producing collagen at around 24, brain neuroplasticity peaks at 20 iirc. Your body pretty much starts going through degeneration and how much care you put into maintaining yourself really starts to show. [spoiler]Not many put any time into it and only start caring out of knee-jerk reactions. This involves changes in diet, working out, and much more.[/spoiler]
Beats me. Here's their age breakdowns, as seen through the lens of anime and vidya:
>1-3: babby
>4-13: THE CHILDREN THE HOPE THE FUTURE
>14-20: You're an adult now, act your age and sacrifice yourself for THE CHILDREN THE HOPE THE FUTURE
>21-30: Get back in your rocking chair grandpa you're not useful anymore
>31-70: Waste of resources, not actually people
>71+: EVERYONE YOUNGER THAN ME MUST FOLLOW MY WHIMS AND EXISTS TO PERPETUATE MY LIFESTYLE AND ILLUSIONS OF GRANDEUR
tbh I think it's even tighter then that
>13: absolute minimum protag terretory
>14-15: prime but still rising protag
>16-18: absolute peak protag performance
>19-20: downhill from here, gotta pass on your skills to the next generation
Which is weird because Resident Evil absolutely refuses to update its cast. Isn't Chris pushing 60 now?
IRL this shit is only true in gymnastics or some shit
Japs are just super age obsessed. If you're over 25 you might as well just necc.
old anons lend me your wisdom
i’m 26 and have just given up neeting, got a job and don’t get a day off for another couple days (wednesday/thursday)
how do you survive on your feet everyday, my body is already so tired from running around all day
its just the shit you gotta do so you do it, there's no real trick to getting through it because getting through it is just what has to happen so it does
just do the thing, thing doer.
Eat healthy, it makes a fricking huge difference. If you have a shit diet you can get caught in the Too tired to cook -> eat shit food -> feel like shit -> repeat loop which sucks.
fricking preach, that death spiral is so easy to fall into and so difficult to get yourself out of
this guy cooks.
this and a basic, simple exercise routine can 180 your life within a year.
should've taken the WFH pill anon. At this point your best bet is to unironically learn to code and try to get into IT
Where are people getting these work from home jobs? I figured office jobs pay higher in the city because shit costs more but if people can live in bumfrick nowhere for cheap, would the pay drop down or is it so competitive that wages are much higher than a regular office work because you have more applicants due to a larger pool selection?
Call centers offer work from home but usually only 2 days a week to keep their control over you as a wagie. They do this instead of offering higher wages so that you feel inclined to stay. The software they use to monitor you 1984 style can still see you no matter whether you're in a cubicle or half naked in your bedroom.
Programming and IT is sometimes work from home and, sometimes, offers more than 2 days a week. Partially because if they don't offer work from home they start bleeding high level talent that got used to it during the pandemic and realized they don't need to be in the office. There's also the fact that in IT jobs it legitimately sucks to have a sickness sweep through the office and just take out 1/3rd of your entire department for what could be a multinational business so it's about making sure all your eggs aren't in one basket.
>cliques
>gossip everywhere
>everybody sleeping around with each other
>absolute fricking filthy girls
>weirdest fricking shit always happening
Man, you want to feel like you're back in high school, work at a call center. The worst part about it is that you're working at a call center.
On the basic level just eat well, sleep well, play well. As long as your sleep is consistent, your diet isn't shit and you take up hobbies which genuinely make you content then you can persevere through most of the physical shit to do with life.
On the spiritual side however you need to make sure your life outside work actually has meaning or else you'll come to realize that working is meaningless and you're just waking up to wageslave.
>make sure your life outside work actually has meaning or else you'll come to realize that working is meaningless and you're just waking up to wageslave.
This. If your job isn't meaningful to you on a transcendental level, then your out-of-work life better be otherwise you'll be fricked. (emphasis on "TO YOU" with whatever meaningful might be)
get good shoes
it gets easier the more you do it
>Do they have no context for what people in their 30s look like?
Do you, moron?
have you seen asian people
they look young as frick on their forties
they also eat nothing but fish and rice all day every day
30 year olds?
Not in my Japan.
He seemed to age rapidly after he died
Having recently played the games, I don’t get why X has a middling reception with the fanbase. It’s honestly top 3 FF regarding gameplay, story and characters and that’s a feat as no other main entry achieved all of these at the same time.
It doesn't, it's jusy Ganker contrarianism. X was a tremendous hit on release, so much so that it made Square break their No Sequels rule and it's widely regarded as one of the best games of the PS2 generation.
Japan always rated it #1 in fan polls. Its just a Ganker thing, back in the day people were contrarian as frick and hated FF7 and loved FF9 too. Now it's like that for FFX and FF12.
In Japan (and the US too, honestly) anything above the age of 21-23 is considered old as frick. Auron is a good representation of what Japan and the US see in their head when they picture someone in the 30-35 range. He's cool as frick though, if they straight up said he's a dude in his early 40's he'd be even cooler though so the whole thing of him looking older but being younger works against him in that regard because "cool and really fricking strong older guy" is a common type of character but him being 35 is kinda eh, still too young for the way he looks.
Also, Tidus is supposed to be 17 in FFX and so is Yuna. They look and sound older. They should've been aged to be at least 21 or 20. Lulu is 22 but sounds and looks more like 25-28 but we can chalk that up to the voice actress+design+script combo aging her up a bit than what she really is. It's tricky to properly put an age on characters in general if you really think about it.
they did the same thing but in reverse for Frog/Glenn in Chrono Trigger
he was a knave and even though the cutscenes with Cyrus treat him as a young man who's <25yo, he's already 30 at that time and when you meet him ingame he's 40
>in japan anything above the age of X is considered old
god im so sick of moronic anime homosexuals who dont jack shit about japan trying to pass off observations from fricking anime as facts about the country.
people did this dumb shit 10 years ago and it just doesnt end. god you homosexuals are so fricking ignorant, dont you ever try to challenge yourself to learn more about the things you want to preach about. jesus christ i hate humans
JRPGs taught me if I haven't had anything figured out by 16 I'm a total fricking failure.
>jrpgs and anime taught me
thats your problem
That’s because in Japan your life ends when you graduate high school
Asian fellas don't age well
dude looks to be like 35 tho
In Japan anything up to 16 is “kid”
16-22 is “young adult”
Anything over that is grandpa
This is especially true if you’re a woman
The whole thing is bizarre, because the median age for Japanese people is fairly high at 49 years old, so you’d think older characters would be more popular because they’re more relatable
Japan has a fricked up idea about age, this guy is supposed to be 35 yet everyone treats him like he’s ancient and an old man, it’s bizarre
Do Japanese people have low life expectancy? I thought it was a wealthy nation but maybe I was wrong.
They have the highest life expectancy in the world anon. The oldest people in the world are almost always Japanese for a reason.
THIRTY IS THE LAST YEAR OF YOUR TWENTIES
bros I get so demoralized watching 50s movies and seeing people my age (24) look like actual classy grown ass men. I still look the same when I was 16.
That’s because everyone smoked like a chimney back then
It's how they see westerners' aging process. They think we turn into old granpas and grannies by the time we get into our 40's.
It's not just Japan that fricks this up. This guy is supposed to be 30. Lmao
that's normal for a slav to look like that at 30 considering alcohol, shit living situation, fighting in war.
To be fair the guy's seen and experienced some shit back at slav land.
I heard slavs all bald very quickly . shame because I wanted to breed a slav.
Odd, my father's side of the family is Hungarian and all the men have our hair, my mother's side is Australian and my cousins from that side went cueball in their twenties.
thats just how the slavic life is
Wagecucks or slave class works to the bone with no sleep no care for long term damage. They think doing drugs (Cofee, energy drinks, pre workout, etc) to cope with having to work like a mule will never come back to bite them in the ass.
Suddenly when they hit 30 all their bones turn brittle. Easy to break and body can't heal as easily anymore. If you noticed you turned fat its prob due to age by mid 20s
Jrpg rule of thumb add 5 years to every character
boring humorless Reddit tourist thread
Michael ironside in total recall
30 years old at Release
cool so cooooool amaaaaan... let me suck your diiiiiiick
There are some actors who just looked 50 their whole lives. Gene Hackman was one of them.
I love 30 year old Japanese HAGS like the one in pic rel
