I do this with a lot of Japanese games. The characters are often officially insanely young, much younger than either their character design or actions would sensibly have you believe.

I'm playing Bravely Default at the moment and I mentally age up most of the characters, even though they've been aged up already in the localization. I think they're 14-15 in the original? Even the 16-17 in the localization is ridiculous. They're going round the world on their own, fighting monsters and lifting stupidly big weapons. In my head they're late teens minimum, more like mid-twenties. Whenever it is they would develop the necessary muscle strength, like martial artists or boxers. I know this is silly because nobody human could lift those huge weapons anyway, no matter their age, but it's my brain's way of making it just a little less ridiculous.

I find it hard to age the BD kids up in my brain, because that would mean I would be able to acknowledge that Ringabel and priestess robes guys are creeping on not-children. Wait. I totally have no qualms already aging Ringabel up apparently whoops

That part of the game never gets less creepy. Aging them up in my head is the only way I can get through those parts. The rest of the gameplay is insanely enjoyable but I still wish I didn't have to grit my teeth every time the sage appears and starts with the lecherous comments.

I don't really understand your comment. You mean you're just skipping those parts entirely?

[cloud_riven]

Eugh I did write that comment weird.

Not skipping parts, although I haven't picked up where I left off in the game for a few months tbh. I just find it hard to pretend they're not kids to get through the creeper scenes is all, because I feel like I'm constantly reminded of their age (Edea in particular). Not that the scenes are suddenly hilarious if they're adults anywas because wow is that sage creepy regardless.

As for Ringabel, he's the character I keep forgetting is also pretty young, and not whatever age their uncles would be.

When I have trouble aging them up, I remind myself they've already been aged up once for the localisation, so their ages are fluid anyway.

Although for some reason that excuse doesn't fly for me with Jackal the thief. Every time I see him, his back story gets creepier and creepier because of the heavy hints about his abusive childhood. They're only even hints, but for some reason that disturbs me more than the outright abduction stuff with the Red Mage and the Florem girls.

This game! Why does it have to be so creepy in parts yet mostly fine?
