That's just JRPGs in general once a character is no longer a teenager.

This is only true until you become 100s of years old, though. Then you look 7.

Some of the tales games have weird years though, like tales of the Abyss I think has 765 day years.

Auron is 35. Looks 55. Maybe even 60+.Wasn't Auron supposed to have been affected by Sin or something?
Tbh I think Lulu looks early 30s at most.
Wakka looks like he's approaching 40.
TBF, his face looks his age. It's just the way he's dressed that makes him look older.
It's a Japanese/anime thing. Most characters that look like teens or young adults are middle schoolers too.Sometimes its an artstyle thing. Anime artstyle makes characters appear much younger because all the indicators of age, like noses and lips, get simplified to mere lines and there is a stronger focus on the eyes. Sometimes theyre drawn with rounder and bigger heads. In that artstyle children and adults have the same face with the only indicator of age being their height. In the real world even people of very short height, Im talking below 5 feet, still look like adults because they have adult faces.
Japan has a very disturbing youth fetish.
look at the popular meme that shows the old guy with the cane that is 30 lol. Japanese games had such a distorted scale for age. Young teens were like mature adults.It depends on the series. Octopath Traveler all the main casts are adults and people in their 30s are labeled as young adults.
While this is true, I don't think that enters their minds when they're designing the characters, because most of the characters do actually look the ages they're said to be. It's just the ones in their mid 20s and up that look a lot older.I guess it makes sense if you think of it not as a literal thing, but more as the perception of the main characters.

TBF, his face looks his age. It's just the way he's dressed that makes him look older.They also make a big deal of him being old. Everyone, including himself, calls him "the old man," and he complains about his back and stuff.
Eh, disagree. He's got the old man sunken eyes. It's also an in-game thing that he apparently looks old, because he's constantly called "old man." It's a similar thing as FF7 Cid.In JRPGs, if you're over 30 you're practically on death's door.
