One of the only grizzled "old men" who is kinda treated reasonable like a normal 30 year old is mayyybe Basch from FF12? and even then the only other party member older than him is Fran, the vaguely immortal bunny. so it goes for us old folk!

If you ever have the free time and have a taste for retro games, FFIV is real good. I haven't played the remake, so I can't speak to how modernized it feels, but the art style is pretty cute and I love a lot of the monster designs there

The DS remake is a very solid version and definitely is worth keeping around as its own game. Lots of QoL and difficulty adjustments to accomodate for it, plus some of the scenes given voices is FANTASTIC.

Happy birthday! highly recommend giving it a shot. Its one of my contenders for best Final Fantasy. The DS version and the pixel remaster are both solid go throughs if you do!

X is my favorite too. When I finally played it two years ago, I ended up 100% both it and X2 back-to-back ๐Ÿ˜… I felt a real sense of loss when it was over. What FFs have you played?

I still need to play X-2, I tried it but was confused and overwhelmed by the dress sphere system lol Iโ€™ve only finished 7, 10, and the 7 remakes. Iโ€™ve played some of a few others, but other than X-2, I want to go through 6 and 9 next!

I just played VI for the first time like a month ago! That's the one that got pretty close to overthrowing X! It's probably the most fun I had with a FF. But, X still felt like FF firing at all cylinders. IX has the best writing hands down! I've played VII OG but gotta find time for remakes. ๐Ÿ˜‚

That is so fair. When I jumped into X-2 my brain just said "what" but when I finally got over that hurdle (which did take awhile!) and understood the mechanics, everything clicked. And the combat became insanely fun, and it can get so *fast*. It's a huge adrenaline rush.

Happy birthday! Also in poor Auron's defense, at 35 I look way more like he does than I do like Cid Highwind. Minus the sick robes and cool scar. ๐Ÿ˜… Cloud was WAY outta pocket calling someone who aged as fine as Cid, gramps.

Happy birthday! Also, I always love discovering the ages of Japanese media characters. Challia Bull in the original Gundam was 30 and looked like a retired middle school principal (before he got a redesign). Thank God genetic RNG luck and moisturizer keeps people thinking Iโ€™m only 30 at nearly 39.
