JRPG
The oldest party member is 23 years old
Rest of the crew treat him like he's 43
JRPG
Goes to show what their target audience is: 13 to 17
name 12 jrpgs with this exact gag down to the age
35 years old
everyone calls him old man
playing Fire Emblem
here's this woman with greyed hair and a lined face, a hardened veteran
Age: 35
Imagine being such a mental child that you think 23 is young. Your life is basically over by that point.
What doujin is this from?
growing up is realizing japanese put so much effort into kid's media due to them being the worst wageslaves on earth
He calls himself one from the get go and purposefully acts like a doddering old man to lower expectation. He also was supposed to die years ago/ I like the heart to heart with him after rescuing Estelle where Yuri he tells him to just move on and live his life already.
She looks like she's finally ready to settle down.

Still consume anime aimed at 16-25 year olds and dream about young love
Sean Connery was 31 when he played James Bond in Dr. No and was barely in his 40s come Diamonds are Forever and looked practically 50. Daniel Craig was 38(and his James Bond shares his birth year) when Casino Royale came out and finished at 52.
People really just aged fucking fast back before the 90s and especially with all the tobacco and drinking and people not having dedicated teams for celebrities to constantly look their best. Not to mention people barely gave a shit about the sun and its effects on skin.
This is Toshiro Mifune at 34.
Now combine that with Japan's obsession with youth and the meme, unfounded or not, about your life being over past your teen years and you can kinda see how the "you are geriatric if you're in your 20s" became so widespread. People got older faster.
It probably helps that so much of their media like JRPGs are targeted at teenagers. No salaryman reading Golgo 13 at the barbershop while waiting for a shave and a haircut really cares about Duke Togo's days at assassin high school. Except for the Serizawa Family Murders arc, I guess.
When you're 15, 23 feels ancient.

JRPG
the party of teenagers picks up a dad in his 40s who has to tard wrangle all of them
absolutely loved this dude
Life is over once the japenis leaves school and enter the job market.
same

37 and a wizard
The funny thing is that the previous Fire Emblem had a 42 year old that looks pretty young. I dunno why everyone over the age of 20 in Engage looks so old
Engage is kiddy game.
Another 3 years and I'll be you.
If I had to guess with Manuela the notes were "kinda MILF-y retired songstress looking for a husband" and then with Saphir they just made a middle aged older woman and then made her 35 for the hell of it.
only old party member in a jrpg i can think of
fake age, only used to determine food buffs
JRPG
Average age of the party is 50 years old
His heart is literally fake which causes him to physically age faster because it's inefficient. He's turning a tragedy into a comedy.
I have to say this every time it's posted and you keep posting it anyway.
When I was 10, anybody over 16ish felt like another tier of human.
which causes him to physically age faster because it's inefficient
When does it ever say that in the game?
Guys just hire an escort already, jesus fucking christ.
Why?
That's kinda a big theme of the franchise, its two most prominent heroes being men who lost a decade(and a half for Ichiban) of their life in prison on someone else's behalf, and basically have to rebuild their lives in their 40s. It's almost like the antithesis of all this shit with teenage heroes, it's never too late to do big things with your life.
Yakuza still kinda half asses this. Majima is 60 now and doesn't look a day over 30 for example.
Barely anybody plays or talks about Tactica.
It also introduced an adult party member that people either don't know or discuss about.
Welp.
Escorts are often sex trafficked. Hiring one is immoral.
>Rest of the crew treat HER like he's 43
As they should
It honestly just feels like Persona paying token lip service to the idea of putting adults in the main character role. Wake me up when Persona 6 has some stressed out salaryman in his 30s or 40s with a wife and kids as the strength-based party member.
I mean Zenkichi being a stressed out dad is pretty pivotal to the plot with his negligee daughter being a major antagonist for an arc
anons who've been here for over a decade have already started to die from old age and heart attacks
this place is a nursing home
