I am also not sure why they did that. I know younger people can fall in love with older ones, but in a game where they dont let us be teenager because they fear bad press if people use it for lewd stuff, I am a bit surprised that they made a clearly underage character into someone that can be easily seen as in love with us.
It sounds indeed very controversial.
And yeah, younger people can fall for older, for example, as a kid I had a crush on my sister's friend, who was 18, but sure as hell if it was returned it would have been creepy. The same way, I'd feel it equally creepy if the WoL had a thing for Alisae. Or for Alphinaud for that matter, since the WoL can be any gender and sexual orientation.
