Child-like characters?

[Ftail]

Well to me Ryne is like 18, just maybe I can see her age at 16. There is no way I can believe a 12 year old can fight like she does. she may appear younger because she has been imprisoned for most of her life. so she never got a chance to learn or grow

The problem with Ryne isn't that a 12 year old can fight like she does, loads of younger people have been contributing to fighting in all of the FF stories. The problem is with her model, it simply doesn't look like a preteen should. It looks like they took Minfilias model shrunk it down slightly and reduced the breast size and slightly changed the face. The same problem appears with Thancred, but in the opposite direction. Thancred doesn't look as old as he should be, I'm younger then him in real life by a good margin but he looks like he needs to be asked for an ID every time he buys alcohol.

Edit: I think it might have to do with the graphics or something, because the images I linked don't even look like they are taken in the same decade.
