How old are each of the main characters in lore?

"stopped"

They were just doing a "woman sensitive about her age" joke in the lorebook. Best not to take it literally.

In Heavensward, Y'shtola says she was around Alphinaud's age during the Sharlayan exodus 15 years ago making her roughly 31 years old.

Everyone else's actual age was given in the Encyclopedia.

Anyway, even though he's back to his younger mortal body, his mind is a lot older - 120ish now, give or take how much time he spent in the dark future timeline and exactly how many years ago he arrived in the First.

G'raha Tia gets the literal dream of knowing what you know now but in your younger body and he just puppy dog's the WOL instead. Wasted potential imo.

What do you mean, "instead"? That is what he wants.

It is what he wants indeed. He spent over 100 years thinking when he went back, and then when we got there that we would fix everything. Make his wish come true. What could be greater than adventuring with your personal savior, hero, and role model? Especially considering they're always part of grand things, like solving tempering, and slaying Eikons.

I feel G'raha's behavior is inappropriate. The 5.4 scene in the cave where he wants to spend more time with you instead of focusing on the mission is inappropriate and creepy. The community can claim he is just a fan boy but he has to learn personal boundaries.

I mean, he's primarily written by a woman, the way men tend to write female characters. I say turnabout's fair play, in this case.

Honestly G'raha is pretty tame compared to some guys in Animes that are fan boys... if he isn't getting nose bleeds around the WoL then it's nothing.

Personally it doesn't really bother me, remember he basically looked up to us even before ending up spending a century in the Darkest Timeline and technically Dying before ending up joining the A-team and reliving a better future he didnt see the first time around. I just consider it his inner Fanboy coming out a bit at times.

In terms of the characters ages these are going to be mainly based of their age as of ARR. In terms of current ages this has been rather ambiguous as the dev team has been rather coy on how much actual time has passed in the game though at least a year has gone by by the time of Stormblood occuring. It could be also because the dev team has not actually decided on a new calendar tho as the 7th Umbral Calamity effectively resets the calendar to year 0 and the other fact that Loisioux Super Old Man Punching Bahamut unintentionally mitagted a world ending angry primal into a regonal disaster unlike the previous calamities basically trashing the world.

Only their physical ages is really relevant as the whole travelling across the void between shards has a distortionate effect, i mean we literally save the first and go back to Tataru to tell us we'd only just left!

Yeah, I'm inclined to agree. I want more dialogue options to make it clear that my character doesn't care about him in the slightest and is only working with him - very reluctantly - because he isn't being given another choice.

We're also meant to be building up to a recreation of the literal apocalypse. G'raha acting the way that he does simply makes it harder to immerse myself in the story. I hope he doesn't get the lion's share of time in the spotlight in Endwalker and I most certainly hope that he doesn't end up playing a major part in taking down another major antagonist.
