I was right! Take that you Naysayers. Confirmation on a character's age.

So was this made just to bait the weirdos?

Also on gaia’s part “became fast friends” take that weird shippers.

Wait did they finally made it canon that they are just friends and not lovers? Finally ending this stupid debate?

Well it would be weird if your lover wasn't your friend.

Basically, just because a law is as it is, doesn’t mean it is how things actually are, but rather there might not have been a need to update/make the law in the first place.

The prefectures in Japan have had consent set to 18 for awhile now. The change in law is at a federal level with a few additional things.

Always has been.

I figured she was 16 or 17. She never came across as a 12 year old to me. They have models of younger children around that age and Ryne wasn't similar to those IMO.

That said, I had no idea this was an issue somewhere.

No, impossible. No couple has ever been friends before. It simply cannot be. /s

[Kacho_Nacho]

Yeah, my guess was she was 16 because that's the age (U.S.) teenagers start gaining a degree of independence, and that is the overriding theme of Ryne's character arc, to gain the strength and confidence to make decisions for herself.

To be honest, I've never completed that quest line. But, my wife has, and she definitely thought there was more than friendship between Ryne and Gaia. Since there are so many opinions on the topic, I can only assume that the ambiguity was intentionally done by Square Enix. In the end, does it really matter?

I just figured she was "generic anime teenager" years old. Younger than the adults of the cast, but old enough to participate in the plot. Never particularly cared enough to think about it harder than that.

[Reimmi]

If you meant to ask about the meme, this. The irony is that most people posting this virtue signal only to be a hypocrite and be thirsty over another fictional below-18 character.

Which is really funny and hypoctrical since dragon ball had chichi in a armor bikini and sexualized bulma as a teenager lol

[Renalt]

I forgot they were a character.
