Personally, I'm tired of seeing teenagers save the world. Whatever happened to the good old days where there were actually adults with matured minds in RPGs? I think having teenagers save the world is an easy way out of making an RPG because you can easily portray feelings and thoughts of a kid.Would you really feel safe having an eighteen year old save our world? I know others agree with me, I just want to see how many.

Absolutely right - I'd like to see an RPG where most of the cast were in their late 20s/early 30s. It would be a LOT more believable ... especially for the characters who are supposed to be high-ranking military officials.

Well, that sounds like about as close to an invitation as I could ask for, so... <g>

Okay, I can understand that. But what about FF6? Most of the characters were in their twenties, or about to be, aside from a few. I dont' mean to bash the games with younger heroes, god knows I loved them. I don't really think RPGs have a target audience anymore, kids play them as well as adults. What about the guys in their thirties playing games? I just find it hard to connect and look up to a hero that's younger than me.
- By the way, I'm agnostic, just using reference to god for enthusiasm.
- Oh, yeah and I'm not in my thirties either. Haha..

I dunno, I don't mind it that much... like I said in another post, I don't connect to main characters PERIOD, so that's not really a problem. I'm fine with it as long as they're just teenagers... however, if RPG's start coming out with 7 year old heroes, I think I'd just give up on the genre. I'd hate to see the romances brewing between 7 year old male and female leads...

I think I started a post almost identical to this about a week after joining leamonde.net. I'm glad the spirit hasn't died.
