(old)Bros

im having fun its fun being alive

He's already a whitewashed goody two shoes. What fucking arc does he need? Will he suddenly get a 180 in personality the moment Shera shows up?

even the 60 and 70 year old boomers I hang out with act like high schoolers

The gang barely knows him at this pojnt. Lots of scumbags hide their personalities behind a veil. Once they get to Rocket Town his dark past will be revealed. Cid's not a bad person in the original either, he just did some bad shit in his past.
Who am I kidding, this is FF7 Disney Edition and they won't touch on anything more than surface darkness. They ruined Barret/Dyne's story in Rebirth.

XVI is also shit.

Because life is pretty short :(

Huh? Speak up son these ears ain't what they usedta be
A

One of the cool things about having a shit life is that I don’t pine for my youth like everyone else. My youth was terrible.

That has nothing to do with the dirty moments and more how they were executed as well as the writing as a whole.

Barret's story

Don't you fucking remind me of that. Barret was the fucking man and they raped his backstory and moments.

and when you never peak its all uphill baby

hebe

16 year old would be an ephebe, surely.

I always thought Auron was like 50 years old what the fuck.

I'm 27 years old and I still eat Pop-Tarts for breakfast every single day.

I haven't eaten breakfst for like 2 decades

He's a Japanese 32, which is basically late 40's. Golden rule of Japanese age rules is to add between 8-15 years to their stated age. Lina Inverse is supposed to be 15 but acts like she's in her 20's, Ash Ketchum is supposed to be TEN but acts and looks like a high schooler at least etc.

He is, japs are just retarded with ages
It's like a 1000 year old dragon shit

Guy on the right is 37
lmao

PA where he screeches autistically about how dirty his room is

Midas is a based retard

Fuck, I'm older than him now...

You're only as old as you feel. Unfortunately due to being poisoned by the self proclaimed elite, you have 20 year olds dropping dead from heart attacks and strokes now.

yeah I miss the days when 20 year olds were immune to dying

Go back to hell. Your god is waiting.

your god is the pharmacist, schizo retard. The internet was so good before your kind proliferated. We need to go back to the days were you people just stayed locked up at home with no way to bother the rest of us.

Age ain't gonna stop me from being a god gamer

No, that's yours, you demonic rat.

Many days I feel there's no point even in killing myself because life is short anyway.

n..no..y.you...

You'd think schizophrenic retarded Christcucks would be at least a little more creative, but nah. Bargain bin bot-tier shit.

tfw almost 40

This is the one thing in anime-related shit i cannot stand

Like in Pokemon how Brock is supposedly 16 i think and Jessie/James are only like 18 or some dumb shit when Jessie alone is clearly like a 40year old Milf

Auron is definitely at least 45 in my mind

I do this without thinking now

This is why you are supposed to get married to your high school sweetheart

As long as you take care of your body, being old doesn't seem that bad.

I'm 32 and I'm NOT OLD! I'M NOT! I'M NOT!

I'm 32 wizard and I know it'd be pointless to even try dating at this point. What you're talking about is also why there's such a crusade against anime I think, what you've learned is something that can actually dismantle societies if guys act on the knowledge.

Was going to say something along these lines. There's a reason the Japanese romanticize high school so much. Their lives are basically over after that.

its ok guys. it rolls off your back

learning i was older than homer simpson is what got me

Nobody really matures, they just age.

Yeah, why rush it? Over fast enough as it is. Just enjoy the show. Frankly I don't care for the show, but nothing else is on.

is everybody in this thread ESL or what?
the "old" is referring to his pilot status, not to being an old man
Christ

I got lucky being decent looking and slow to age in the face, but now I'm 33 with a young man's face and movie-makeup-tier crows feet and hairline recession. Plus I'm an oldfag in community college around freshman-age women that I subconsciously think I still have a shot with while constantly reminding myself that they see me as a worn old peppep.

You can be fiscally responsible and also be into childish stuff you know. I’ve been on a pokemon binge for a few months now. I’m also buying a house soon and talking to girls more and more online and in person. If you’re a man you shouldn’t really care about how random people view you, as long as you’re doing well yourself and have a purpose you’re good to screw around a little.

the "old" is referring to his pilot status, not to being an old man

sure anon

Sure thing unc

SO HERE I AM
LOOKING OLDER ALL THE TIME
GETTING OLDER ALL THE TIME
FEELING YOUNGER IN MY MIND

ska was 50 years ago

I don't care about living forever, but it'd be nice if medical technology made getting older suck less. Right now, if you're 60+ there's a myraid of chronic issues that can really fuck up your QoL if you didn't put in the work being healthy when you were younger. I want to be able to enjoy viyda well into my 70s but at the rate my body is degrading, I don't think I'll be able to do it by the time I'm in my 50's. My hands, eyes, back, neck, brain, and other parts are already starting to show their age. I struggle to game more than 2 or 3 hours at a time these days for games I WANT to play. That's with me being unemployed. I can't even imagine having any energy to game if I had a job.

I see people in nursing homes as invalids, and it makes me wince. If I ever got like that, I'd hope someone would have the common decency to take me out back and shoot my ass. That's no way to live. To be looked at as a wrinkly burden, what kind of life is that?

We have the technology right now. It's called exercise.

Not far behind you. Our generation and the ones that followed are all grappling with this feeling. On top of the fact that we age less slowly than previous generations and all of our hobbies are now more easy to keep with us as we grow older, with some of those hobbies being more sophisticated than boomers or gen Xers ever had.

30 is old.

brain completes myelination process around 25 years of age, until then its either finally getting used to all the hormonal change to finally solidifying all the random new shit its been eating up. After roughly 25, you've mentally matured in the actual biological sense, not some random age number like 18 or 21, so your brain is fully hooked up, structured up, and more rigid in its ways, with more controlled behavioral responses that your kid or teen brain would've gone uncontrollably nuts over

I like to believe Auron just looks like he's in his 50's because of what happened to him in game

No really, play the game. Cid doesn't fly airships anymore, he's no longer an official pilot. He gave that up for a comfy life, worked on his own plane and then got drafted by Shinra to go to space in a rocket instead

By "old" they just mean former, it has nothing to do with his own age

Then in advent children he looks young as fuck

30 years ago was 30 years ago

It's over...

college/20 something protags are becoming more popular in manga/anime

everyone will be old as shit in SLAAG 3
ubgoe.com/projects/923

Exercise & diet can delay certain ailments, but after a certain point, such measures give you diminishing returns.

same

tfw 30 but people think you are 23

tfw teacher on a popular college so students think I am their age

shit sucks son

Why does new Cid look like Seth Green?

My name is Auron. I'm 35 years old. Sake has ruined my life.

It sucks that people have to spend so much of their time “old”. The body shouldn’t deteriorate as fast as it does. Make sure to stay active, guys.

I started going gray at 34.

You could always be resentful and bitter that that stuff happened to you, and pine for an idealized youth that you never got to enjoy.

high school sweetheart

never heard of one

In the context of FF7, there was a massive world war almost a decade before the story, on top of multiple industrial mako catastrophes. Cid would have been a rocket scientist at like 25, which is pretty young.

Nature just allows that you reproduce, anything after is a side effect. By all means people should drop dead by 40 at the latest so your kids can be at least 20 when you die and then reproduce. The cycle goes on until it doesn't, when now everyone lives way too long, always time for everything but there's not and you don't notice, and everything is an insulated perfect storm of safety and distracting shit.

I really hope I never have to reincarnate into this planet ever again, let old age come and wash me away.

Yeah, and? I'll take any returns I can get.

tfw 31

I still got it, bros.

Adulthood is marked by responsibility. When you are responsible for yourself alone, you are an adult. If by "grown up" you mean wise, or put together, that depends on how you value those things. The reality is that since we perceive the events of our lives from the driver's seat, we have all the opportunities in the world to judge each and every one of our actions. Those you know do not do the same thing.

Without knowing you, I will say that the most likely time you will feel "grown up" is when you are no longer able to fight the tide of time and remain up to date with modern culture. When you hear someone younger than you speak and feel like you are from a different world, you'll know then that you're grown up.

I'm not saying to live like a slob. I don't smoke or drink and I exercise as much as I can. I take vitamins and regularly exercise my brain. If I could get some medical treatment to rejuvenate my body further, I'd still take it on top of the upkeep I normally do.

50

they fucking wish. They live to like 80 and watch as the younger generation become NEETs.

I'm in my mid 40s and love life more than ever. I have a wife and kids though. I actually never thought I'd like that but I got my gf pregnant on accident and that was all she wrote. Worried so much that I'd hate having kids because they'd cramp my style or something but I was wrong. It's awesome and I wish I would have stated having kids when I was like 18 or something

You think they'll hand that shit out to plebs like us? Maybe if you're a Rothschild or something though.

Remake Cid weirded me out by how young he looks until I remembered his actual age.

Lol no. My father in law is almost 80 and just placed 3rd in two marathons because he's always stayed fit and lean and kept up his exercise.

What sweetheart?

Fuck he kinda does

Eventually, the elderly on SSI will outnumber the younger "working age" adults. Unless we go full Canada and start euthanizing the elderly, we'll need to make sure they can keep working into their 70's or 80's.
Good for him? A nice dice roll on genetics can help you out for sure, but there are plenty of chronic illnesses that can fuck you up along the way.

I don't mind getting older in of itself(the alternative is just being dead) but I am getting hit harder and harder with the "kids these days" mentality as I do.
I think really growing up is when you realize pic related is correct unironically

0-18 childhood

18-30 accomplish everything you can in life

30+ wait for death

why is it like this?

He was about to be gommaged.

I'm a late bloomer. Any day now.

just be a mindless animal bro

Sniper is really that young?

Hate to break it to you, but that's how we thrive best. Not a single thing survived the mouse utopia.

It's only like that in Japan.

I tried, but she trooned while she was away in college. Now she's an ugly fat goblin man high off her gourd on depression meds.

I was going to argue with you and state that there are more people alive than ever before, so clearly we “thrive” more as sapient beings, but then I remembered which countries these thriving people live in.
