>This is a 35 year old man according to the entire country of Japan
>>748809605Well it also makes sense in context. Spira is a world trapped under a sword of damocles. There's a giant whale that can evaporate whole cities in a blink and the world theocracy says that incuriosity and paranoia are both law. You either wait to die or you go on Pilgrimage where you will probably die. That is a pretty stressful world to live in and would probably age anyone. Especially when you learn the world religion is built on a lie
>>748809784Not to mention people tend to age faster when they take drugs, booze, or smoke. Just look at sean connery in his 30s compared to tom holland in his 30s. And a place like spira likely consumes a lot of that to cope with misery.
>32 yo old
>>748809943Yeah. Smoking and drinking have only recently stopped being such a pervasive part of youth culture. A lot of millennials and Gen Z have comparatively aged better simply due to not ingesting as many substances as the generations before them. Gen Xers were the last really hardcore boozers. Millenials/Z are considerably more health conscious than gens before them.
>>748809943I'd like to point out that Auron was irritated with Jecht because he was a drunk. Only for Auron to carry around a jug of liquor with him now
>>748809605actually this is what a twenty-something thinks a 35-year-old grizzled warrior looks like IN CANONand it fooled everyone in Spira
I feel like Auron had a shit skincare routine and probably didn't even apply SPF 30 sunscreen
>>748810169Isn't Spira mostly tropical? Tidus is gonna be as dark as Jecht before long
>>748810156Well also remember that most don't get old in Spira. Because of this thing
>>748810092In fairness Auron doesn't take a tipple at all unless he's using Banishing Blade
>>748810287>every old fart you meet is already deadwell except the old crone trying to cockblock Tidus, I guess
>>748809784Ok BUT why did he visibly age in the 10 years he was a ghost?
Spira as a setting is utterly retarded and nonsensical even by the usual soulless bugman standards
>>748810503What upsets you, the corrupt theocracy part or the death cult part
>>7488105032deep4u
>>748810537The monstersmonsters aren't a thing
>>748809943Not a great comparison, Tom Holland admitted to having an alcohol problem at one point. But that still might be less drinking than the older generations
>>748809605This is a 32 year old man
>>748810584You turn into a monster if you die with regret but you don't have a strong enough purpose to be an unsent, they actually do explain fiends
>>748810602I don't trust his standards for what constitutes a problem to not be utterly patheticA proper drinking problem ages you like the late, great KingCobraJFS
>>748810402It seems to be a choice. Mika has been dead for years but while people note he's getting really old, no one noticed that he's been an undead ghost this whole time. It could be just the same with Auron. He died. He went to Dream Zanarkand. He aged along with everyone else.
>>748810069what no space exploration does to a mf
This a Sephiroth if he Texan
>>748810069I'm really interested in Revelation ear-marking him as the only named Dragoon in the whole setting, the only other dragoons in the entire FF7 setting are the class choice from that FF7 Fortnite game that closed and those guys were Shinra
>>74880960535 and still whoring out by having that much chest exposed
>>748809605Anyone over the age of 24 in anime is basically a pensioner
>>748809605In anime basically anyone that looks you is a teenager or 21 at most, the old looking guys are 30 something and the ancient looking guys are 50+.
>>748809605I mean, yeah? I have no idea if I'm meant to think he looks too young or too old. He looks pretty 35 to me. It's not like he has wrinkles and shit.
>>748810392STAY AWAY-Y-Y FROM THE SUMMONER!
In Japan, your life is basically over for many people once you're out of college. Then it's wage slavery till death
>>748810686>>748809605If you think these guys don't look like they're in their 30s then you're probably a coping millennial
>Braska defeated Sin ten years ago>Auron had to ride Sin to reach Dream Zanarkand so Sin must have reformed within a year>Wakka and Lulu both went on Pilgrimage after they came of age, Lulu twice, and nobody would go in Pilgrimage if Sin wasn't currently an issue>Chappu was killed by Sin before either went on PilgrimateSo realistically speaking Braska's Calm lasted about 5 years, at most, and 99% of it was Jecht fighting a losing battle against Yu Yevon for control of Sin, which regenerated almost immediately.After Yunalesca there have been only 4 Grand Summoners. Five Calms in a thousand years.
>>748811169I'm almost 40 and look younger than both auron and cid.
>>748811182My knowledge of the Ultimania is dusty but you are correct. The first Calm lasted for centuries. Later Calms only lasted for a few decades. Braska's Calm only lasted a couple years. So the Calms were getting shorter. If Yuna saw her Pilgrimage through, her Calm probably would've lasted like a year at most
>>748811182It helps the utter hopelessness of the setting and the Yevonite religion that even the promise of an eventual Calm is fake
>falling for the bait
He died 35 and aged as an unsent. No, it doesn't make sense.
>>748810089>A lot of millennials and Gen Z have comparatively aged better simply due to not ingesting as many substancesThis isn't true at all. They just switched to energy drinks, vapes, and fistfulls of pills. The solvents in vapes alone are worse than daily beers. And you remember those posters showing how a crackhead woman ages out by showing her mug shots over the course of years? Adderall is way more powerful and it's perscribed for daily use, forever.
>>748811302The unsent don't become fiends because they have something they absolutely need to do, some all consuming desire to carry on even in the face of death. And Auron needed people to think he was still alive as part of his mission to end Sin. So he aged.
>>748809605>>748810069Japan smoked too much in the 90s.
>>748811287The Calm is a particularly evil aspect of the Yevonite religion because they know the Pilgrimages will never ever work. But they also block research into permanent solutions for Sin.
>>748810069This is worse than Auron
>>748811495Higher percentage but much fewer people in total
>>748811169You must be very young.
>>748810069the manual even calls him old
>>748809605Did Lulu look 22?
>>748810686Looks younger desu
30 years olds look worse than that today. If you have fat. You're fucked.
He's 35 too
>>748810069The guy is stress personified and chainsmokes 3 packs a day
