Outside the usual "white balding tough guy in his early 30s" genre like GTA, Gears of War, and the such.
What are some games where you play as an older main character?
Bonus points if they're Japanese games, since they hold on to that teenager fantasy too hard.
Do these threads now go on /wsr/? I'm not sure if they do since I saw the announcement on /a/ but I don't see anything here. Sorry if they do.

>>321958196
The reason you don't see older protagonists much is because younger protagonists can still grow and learn new things, whereas adults are already set in their ways.

Teenagers: Don't have to work, don't have to follow rules, can spend all of their time having fun and enjoying life
Adults: Have to get jobs, have to follow rules, aforementioned job prevents them from enjoying lfie as much they did when they were younger
Both teenagers and adults know that being an adult sucks, which is why older protagonists are so rare in Japanese games.

Even in the third act you're still physically 18.

Geralt certainly isn't balding and he's like 100 years old.

Don't know if that counts because he sure as fuck looks like he's in he's early thirties even if he's OVER 9000 years old.
Loved that game, though.

/aco/ is just the new /d/. I can understand why people don't like the reality of it. Hell, even /d/ unloaded some garbage they don't want onto that board.

Still wish futa had its own board so it didnt inject itself into every fucking thread aswell as having multiple threads of the same thing up at a time.

Agreed. It needs a containment board badly.

He has grandkids, he already became a family man. He also generally acts older than he looks. It's not quite the same, but Sed is also playable.

Metal Gear Solid, particularly PW, V, and especially 4
I can't even name a Japanese game with a protag older than 30 years old. I even have a hard time thinking of a JRPG with a character in his 20s minus Vagrant Story. Badass old characters are the best characters, seriously. Fuck you, Japan.

Starting a game with cid seems too easy
>>321967324
At least most games with editors let you just make whatever you want now. Editors seem to be the in thing now which I am totally in favour of.
>>321967497
>favour
Fallout 4, it has like four or five different balding styles.
>>321963823
Japanese teenagers are in school 14 hours a day. 10 if you don't count clubs mon-sat. Japanese salary men also work 14 hours a day mon-sat. Both have to follow the rules if you don't want to be an outcast.
>>321967592
You like prescribed characters? Editors are pretty much a must have in RPGs now.
>>321958196
What is so bad about writing a character role meant for a male and then changing it to a female?
>>321968038
Nothing, its a sign of a well written character, when theyre gender doesnt define them as a character.
>>321968023
I was actually just being a faggot and criticizing your use of British English (favour instead of favor)
I'm incredibly bored right now and should probably go to sleep instead of instigating language fights on /v/
>>321968038
Because behavior that would be normal for one gender can be abnormal for the other. Writing a typical guy and saying it's a girl just raises questions as to why this girl doesn't really act like a girl at all, and doesn't address them since it's the exact same story as if they were a man, where no one would have a reason to question it.

Does Zone of the Enders: Second Runner count? I don't know offhand how old Dingo is but I'd guess around 30.

I like Bobs Burgers.
It's a fun show.

That is why I stopped visiting the site years ago.

Micheal LeRoi in Shadow Man is about ~35 years old.
Fucking eloquent narrator, too.

/aco/ is the fucking worst. You have idiots who jerk off to The Simpsons shitposting in GTS, shortstack or bimbo threads because the content is weird, and all the complaints about racism/rape are a constant reminder of how fucktarded that board has become.
>>321968164
Males and females are different, there's a difference between a character being masculine/feminine and them being defined by their gender.
Pretending that there are no differences is just as bad.

Onimusha? They seem to be around early 30s.
>>321969347
Dont get me wrong, there are big differences. But when a character is constantly bringing it back to themselves that they are either a man or a woman its just plain bad.
>you got beat by a girl!
That sort of thing. Its not a personality, its more of an archtype, and its shit. A characters personality should be more refinded than their gender.
Dead Rising. It's still a white guy in his 30's but he has an actual personality and is in a Japanese zombie game.
>>321958971
Fallout 4
>>321962427
He's 36 in DR1 and 41 in case West/OTR according to the wiki.

As it should be honestly many teens spend their time doing nothing because the bare minimum at school doesn't take any time.
All that free time is spent on gmod or some shit and grows them up horribly.
>>321958196
In FF4-2 Cecil is in his 30s and he's married and has a kid
>>321969610
>Its not a personality, its more of an archtype, and its shit.
Archetypes/tropes can't be shit, they can only be used shittily.
The character isn't shit because they're obsessed with their manliness/femininity, they're shit because said obsession is not written well.

Show me a well written one and Ill change my opinion. Im genuinely curious as to what there is, because simply implementing this sort of thing is inherently bad writing. Its a lazy attempt to make a character a character, by reducing them to the most basic of traits and having these traits define their entire person.
>>321970052
That's more about the adults.
They need a change.
But education looks good with stuff like entrance exams for high school so the kids are encouraged to be academics at a much younger age than usual by pressure of rejection, instead of the process that usually happens in America by the time of college applications.

It's more like to attract moefags/ecchifags/waifufags these day, stuff like teenage girl wearing short skirts or something skimpy #1613515 then throw some fanservice in.
Maybe throw in some self-insertion to fulfill their dry high school lives to the target audience.Heck, what's up with LN/mangas having otaku/NEET MCs these days? To have the target audience identify themselves with the MCs and sell more? It probably won't be long until we see this bleeding into the games as well.
I doubt games like Neptunia would even sell that much if it weren't for the young girls.
Well, it doesn't really matter in the end. Sex and shit sells like hotcakes and provide them with fanbase who would support them steadily (financially). I don't see why they should stop with that when it comes to business.
