>Literally never played a JRPG before and I can do this
>Fran (Final Fantasy I believe)
>Sazh (No idea)
>Balthier (No idea)
>Tellah (FF)
>Galuf (FF)
Most Tales of games have at least one party member that meets this criteria.
Edgar, Sabin, Cyan, Shadow, Setzer and Strago. All from the same game.
I thought the thing with nip characters is that half are teenagers and half are millennia old dragons taking the shape of 8 year olds
>>321613662
Don't forget Zetta.
Nier
Dunban
Malik
Raven
Gall
>>321613670
>>321613896
came in here to post both of these
Raven, Kratos, Rowen, Klarth, Malik
You really didnt think this through did you OP?
>>321613834
i'll help you out
>ff12
>ff13
>ff12
>ff4
>ff5
>>321613334
Edgar, Sabin, Cyan, Strago, Tellah, FuSoYa, Haschel, Rose (Legend of Dragoon).
All playable. All over 25.
>>321613752
They're thousands of years old
>>321613334
Suikoden ANY Suikoden.
>>321613334
DQIV + V alone:
>Ragnar
>Borya
>Torneko
>Psaro
>Sancho
>>321613762
>Strange Journey Guy
Not doom guy is the coolest.
>>321613334
Hell, JRPGs even have playable old men!
Drachma best old guy of the year all years.Too bad even old men from jrpgs aren't immune to death by old age ;_;
>>321613896
Symphonia alone has three
Jackie Chan
Jackie Chan
Jackie Chan
Jackie Chan
Jackie Chun
>>321613670
Sed would make 5, just in that one game.
>>321613334
Persona 2 Eternal Punishment cast barring Tatsuya.
>>321613334
You should've said looks over 25, OP.
>>321614394
Klarth (Tales of Phantasia)
Karyl (Tales of Destiny)
Khang (Tales of Destiny)
Max (Tales of Eternia)
Kratos (Tales of Symphonia)
Regal (Tales of Symphonia)
Jade (Tales of the Abyss)
Raven (Tales of Vesperia)
Judith (Tales of Vesperia)
Malik (Tales of Graces)
Alvin (Tales of Xillia)
Rowen (Tales of Xillia)
>>321614740
Oops, Judith isn't that old, what the shit.
>>321613334
Galuf (FFV)
Kaim (Lost Odyssey)
Harid (RS3)
Cyan (FFVI)
Nier (Nier NA Version)
What do I win OP?
>>321613334
Kratos, Presea, and Regal (Tales of Symphonia)
Ronyx & Ashlay (Star Ocean)
Tellah (Final Fantasy IV)
Galuf (Final Fantasy V)
Strago (Final Fantasy VI)
>>321613334
Most of the Xenoblade Chronicles X cast is over 25.
I think only the potato and celica are younger than 25.
So that's about 16 party members not including your own character that are over 25. What do I win?
>>321613334
LITERALLY all Neptunia goddesses, though the CPU Candidates are a mystery.
Mario
Luigi
Paper Mario
Bowser
Frog
Robo
Magus
Cid
Barret
Just push in peeps from M&L + 1 or 2 from other garbage. Mario and Luigi is my favorite JRPG series, please do not kill me.
>>321613662
Disgaea is probably the only out you have?
Ocelot? In a JRPG? Metal Gear ain't a fucking JRPG.
Every Final Fantasy has an old guy so there's that
>>321615126
Oh, add Geno, and Bomberry (that's the captain one, right?) from Paper Mario TTYD.
Some other playable oldies: Edea is briefly playable; Steiner, and briefly Beatrix; Auron; Citan; also on the ancient 12-year-olds front there's Emeralda; it's implied that chaos was ancient; Rubedo was another ancient 12-year-old.
You can do that with 1000 year old lolis alone
Make it main protagonists if you actually want a challenge
Just from mainline FF
Cids
4's in 54

How old is Magus?
>>321615397
I forgot strago and barret and possibly more
>>321615397
Red XIII is 48, but since his species is long-lived, that age is roughly the equivalent of a human teenager.
>Barret
>Vincent
>Cid
three from FFVII, the game that people make fun of when they say "spikey-haired anime teenager with big sword"
>most fire emblem characters, but that's a tactical rpg
>Arumat
>Myuria
>CAPTAIN BASCH FON RONSENBURG
>BalthierI know he's like 22 but that's still adult and he's cool
>Fran
>most disgaea characters, once again tactical rpg
>>321615397
Don't forget all the main characters from XIII are at least 1000Acutally now that I think about it every single human alive in LR is at least a few hundred years old.
>>321613334
Auron, FFX
Lenneth, Valkyrie Profile
that fucking cowboy from Wild Arms
Barrett, FF7
Goku McDragonball, from Urameshi Junior Ghost High
>>321614204
those games are full of old fucks, but not all of them leave the castles
>>321615508
Late thrithies, maybe reaching forty.
He is definitively past twenty something.
>>321614204
How old is she?
Do fire emblem characters count?
Because the jeigan from every game fits that criteria.
>>321615768
True. Still my point stands they all have at least one playable old guy.
>>321615953
As old as she needs to be.
Do SRPG's count? SRW has it covered easily
Captain Daitetsu
Kai Kitamura
Sanger Zonvolt
Ratsel Feinschmecker
Tetsuya Onodera
Master Rishu
Irm
Ring
And that's without even counting the space seaweed loli or the two former minions of an eldritch abomination.
Though thinking about it, the hard mode is really hard. If random wikis are to be believed, here's some Square main characters:
Crono - 17
Serge - 17
Cecil - 20
Bartz - 20
Terra - 18
Celes - 18
Cloud - 21
Zack - 23
Squall - 17
Zidane - 16
Tidus - 17
Vaan - 17
Lightning (first game) - 21
Fei - 18
Caim - 24
>>321615508
Boss Magus is thousands of years old, but the party member Magus is around 40 or so.
>>321616220
Well..you can use Aya Brea for a start she's actually 25 during the events of the first PE game.
>>321616445
Good catch.
Ashley Riot doesn't have a defined age, but could plausibly be over 25. He was shown to have a family in a flashback at least.
>>321613334
Technically most of the main cast of Neptunia are well over the age of 25. At least the goddess's are anyway
>>321615397
I think Freya Crescent is 21 on the Japanese version but 30 everywhere else..
>>321615165
>not knowing a mayme on 4chan
kill yourself n00bfag lol ecksdee
>>321617060
Doesn't the goddess thing make them stop aging
e.g Neptune is forever young
So what was even the point of this thread?
>>321617682
anime was a mistake
>>321616445
Was she?
Damn, the Japanese must have hated that old hag.
>>321617797
Admittedly I remembered it fromThird birthdaywhich said she was born in the early 70's which would put her somewhere in her mid 20's in the first game.
>>321617060
Does that swimsuit appear in VII?
Tellah (FF4)
Galuf (FF5)
Strago (FF6)
Cid (FF7)
Steiner (FF9)
Come on OP, that's just FF alone
demon souls guy
dark souls guy
dark souls 2 guy
bloodborn guy
nier merica edition guy
>all these FF replies
Honest questions:
Is /v/ so casual it literally hasn't played any JRPGs outside the FF series?
Also do you guys literally think FF series = the whole JRPG genre?
>Nier (Nier)
>Jade Curtiss (Tales of the Abyss)
>Alfred Vint Svent aka. Alvin (Tales of Xillia 1 and 2)
>Rowen J. Illbert (Tales of Xillia 1 and 2)
>Regal Bryant (Tales of Symphonia 1 and 2)
>>321619121
OP never said it had to be from different series.
Fuck off.
Quick! Name some old JRPG characters that aren't 1000 year olds that look and act like they are 12 years old /v/.Bonus points for female characters that don't use this bullshit trope.
Better question would be to name a JRPG protagonist with a beard.
>>321613334
Auron
Tellah
Galuf
Cid Highwind
Amarant
Didn't even have to leave the Final Fantasy series.
>almost every JRPG has a stock older party member
>OP gets BTFO
Pottery
ITT everyone fails at hard mode
>>321619121
Regardless of one's experience with JRPGs, Final Fantasy has got to be one of the most convenient examples.
If OP asked us to name 5 pop songs from a black singer, we would probably name Michael Jackson songs.
>>321619806
He's technically not the THE guy you're playing as but he pretty much drives the entire story. The kids are along for the ride.
>>321616425
How does he get younger after he has met you?
>>321620331
Time travel.
>>321620285
The older Kiseki games that were ported to PSP seem really neat, but I hear nothing but bad things about them.
>>321613334
>Stocke and friends in Radiant Historia
>Disgaea series in general, as previously mentioned
>Protag character in DQ 5
>Fucktons of FE characters, if that counts as a JRPG
>Adol from the Ys Series, I think
That's 5-ish, isn't it? I could probably add Magus from Chrono Trigger and other people, but fuck it.
![Destiny of an Emperor (U) [!]-1.png](https://i.imgur.com/0QK8r7d.png "Destiny of an Emperor (U) [!]-1.png")
>>321619806
The guy on left is one of the 3 main protagonists of Destiny of the Emperor and I think he more than qualifies.
>>321620485
It's because Bamco did everything wrong with them.
They google tier translations and they changed the battle systems for all three games (Well besides Moonlight witch I think it was always like that) either way they fucked up.
>>321620565
>if that counts as a JRPG
The only prerequisite of a JRPG is for it to be an RPG that was developed by a Japanese company.
JRPG, WRPG = Denotes region of origin
ARPG, SRPG, MMORPG, etc. = Denotes type of gameplay; these are not exclusive to any region
Lightning
Hope
Snow
Serah
Fang
Vanille
/literally the entire cast of LR/
Maxim, Guy, Dekar, Lexis and Artea in Lufia II are all older than 25, and they're in one game. Step it up, OP.
Fire Emblem is full of party member who are in their 30's and 40's.
>>321621126
>Lightning
>Serah
>Fang
>Vanille
They're not old hags.
>Cid
>Haschel
>Strago
>Sed
>Adelbert Steiner
>Ashley Riot
etc
ITT: Nobody knows a damn protagonist is.
Hint: Every playable character in the game is not a protagonist.
>>321613334
1. Odin (PS)
2. Rudo (PS2)
3. White Mage (FF)
4. Soldier (DW3)
5. Iolo (UVII)
>>321621909
I don't play hard mode, too much grinding.
>>321613334
>Cid

>>321621294
Fang and Vanille were both ~2000 years old in XIII.
In LR everyone is at least 500 years old.
>>321614174
Paper thin bullshit doesn't count.
>>321621909
>itt: a thread full of literate people, and you
Protagonist is only for hard mode, no one's obliged to default to hard mode just because OP included it.
>>321622083
>literate
Alright I messed up, but not-noticing a block of text isn't the same as reading it wrong.
>>321613670
It's at least 5.
Kaim, Sarah, Seth and Ming are all in their 1000s.
Sed is in his 60's or something.
Jansen and Tolten are both maybes.
>>321613334
XCX
Everyone but Celica and Lin are over 20
And out of that, Elma, Murderess, Irina, Guin, Nagi, Frye,Hope, and Boze are above 25
>>321613762
>>321614312
my niggas
I'm pretty sure every Tales game has the typical "old guy" of the group who's 30+ years old.
Pic related, this is the coolest one out of all the old guy characters. His combat style is one of the most fun to use in the entire game.
>>321620565
According to wiki Adol ranges from 17 in Ys1 to 23 in Ys seven so not yet at least.
Galuf - FFV
Torneko - DQIV
Li Zhuzhen - Shadow Hearts
Jack - Wild Arms
Citan - Xenogears
>>321622205
No, but it still means you're pretty fucking retarded.
>>321622505
There is also Rowen from Tales of Xillia and maybe the king guy
>>321621914
Aw shit, Ultima isn't Japanese, I'm retarded.
As far as protagonists go, is it Rudy, Ashley and Virginia for Wild Arms, or do Jack, Brad and Clive count, since you can choose who to start with in those games?
>>321622052
Hey, come back with those goal posts!Seriously, you should have been more specific.
>>321613427
>here's some lewd children
>it's ok though, they're all several thousand years old.
Not the purpose of the OP and not legitimate anyways.
Dunban
Riki
Melia
Super Mario

>>321623505
you're retarded.
>>321623754
>when searching for HD fixes to replay on Dolphin I found people on forums call her Seven or 7th to not spoil the game
If you didn't work out that the character with tons of heart-to-hearts, arts and skill tree, dedicated weapons and tons of mentions after the incident is coming back, then someone saying "seven" is a spoiler certainly gives it away.
>Paper mario
>RPG mario
>Mario & luigi Mario
>Mario & Luigi Luigi
>Vampire looking guy from FF7
if i'm not wrong mario is about 30 no?
idk about luigi tho
each mom in the Pokémon games
>>321613896
They also tend to fall into the 'old geezer' role despite only being in their thirties or something. Bad example.
Valkyrie Profile and Chronicles have a decent amount of adults.
>>321613334
Auron
Barret
Cid
Basch
Sazh
Galuf
etc
>>321615508
Guile is 26 from Chrono Cross, which is heavily implied to be Magus.
>>321616425
That's not true. Magus is around 10 when he first appears in the Middle Ages. You fight him around 15 years after he first shows up. Once he's sent back to the Dark Ages, he's the same age. He was sent there the same time your party was sent to the prehistoric ages.
Tellah
Auron
Galuf
Banon
Joseph (ff2)
Haschel (legend of dragoon)
Numerous cast members in Chrono Cross
>>321623862
says the retard changing the argument
