Tidus Age: 17 Joins: He's present from the beginning Description: Tidus is a cheerful, rising blitzball star playing for the Zanarkand Abes. It's just what I think.You have to think about it in terms of the games world and how early they have to grow up. Basch really should have been the main character. These are the only official ages. Guns help defend people from people with smaller guns."

I wondered about it in some games (mainly X with Wakka and Lulu saying they were on other pilgrimages before, but then I got distracted by Auron :wack: ) Since the general gaming audience in Japan tends to skew younger than in the West, it makes sense that the designers tend to make their characters more representative of their audience. But really I never thought about the ages, so it never bothered me, I mean a lot of other games have Mid-Late Teens early twenties as the main character, I mean when I was 14-18 I was really playing video games a lot more than now, and I'm pretty sure that is the feeling of most people around here, maybe not all, but most...so maybe that is why they pick that age? If you get a job with huge responsibilities early on in life (Squall and Cloud) or if you are self dependant and can only count on yourself to survive (Zidane) then you'll mature much faster. I personally think that maturity doesn't have everything to do with age, and more to do with life experiences. In contrast you have Yuna and Lulu who are also very young (Lulu is 22) but much more mature, because in their world they aren't allowed the time to spend growing up more slowly, they have to take on responsibilities that in our world would be put off till later in life. People kill people! The main character is usually a late teen/ early young adult because that's usually the main age group that Final Fantasy games aim towards. Just never the main character. Final Fantasy X. reviews; user reviews; Guns help defend people from people with smaller guns." 3 years ago. The only person in the series, to me, who came off as actually acting her own age was Selphie. Does it make them easier to relate to for them? People kill people! Don't quote me on that though. Tidus's quick moves allow him to attack even the swiftest foes with ease. - Stan SmithYou're right, it's been a while since I played VII. Honestly I didn't know that Zidane was 17 till now Cloud Strife (クラウド・ストライフ, Kuraudo Sutoraifu) is the protagonist of Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy VII:Advent Children, Final Fantasy VII Remake, and a recurring character through the Compilation.In Final Fantasy VII, he is a mercenary employed by the eco-terrorist organization AVALANCHE. Is there anyone else who is somewhat bothered by this?Honestly I didn't know that Zidane was 17 till now If you were a FFX character, who would you be? When I first saw her, I immediately pegged her as a klutzy teenager, who's on the wrong side of hyper. "Guns don't kill people!

I thought he was a perfect depiction of a teenager.

To make it more "your age related" type of feel to it?

)"Guns don't kill people! The most ridiculous age I've seen is Eiko, she's what?

He has long resented his father, who was a renowned player himself before his untimely death. We are used to people being very immature at 21 etc but in most of these FF worlds they have to grow up a lot faster. Play FF8 all the teens in that game have act their age IMOActually, Zidane is 16 not 17 as is Garnet. "Guns don't kill people! Seeing as they thought Basch, a guy who looks befitting of his warrior role, is a respectable age at 36, has scars, facial hair, and as a protagonist who has to clear his name, wouldn't appeal to the Japanese audience so they threw in a 17-year old Vaan who looks sort of androgynous, but not androgynous enough to be a Tetsuya Nomura creation...I suppose the target Japanese demographic just like having their teenage heroes with no facial hair and totally pretty, unblemished, plastic doll faces. I just never imagined Zidane or Tidus to be 17....they both look around their early twenties.
