Thread: How old is Ryne???? (Slight 5.2 Spoilers)

That said if ancillary material puts the twins at 16, I'm willing to put her at the same age.

One issue is that the Leveilleur twins are Elezen, which are stated to reach their growth spurt (and puberty) later than other races, like Hyur/Hume. Which Ryne is.

So my assumption was that Ryne is younger than 16, because she's Hume, but "looks" about the same age as the Elezen twins. Personally I don't think she's that much younger; maybe 15, and I wouldn't be surprised if she's just a short 16.

Speaking of short, it's kind of amusing that Ryne and Gaia are roughly the same height in cutscenes, but Ryne is wearing flat-soled sandals (well, sandal-boots), and Gaia has these ridiculous heels that add like ten centimeters to her height. So if Ryne is a short 16, Gaia might be a tiny 16.

(The truth is that FFXIV handles high heels by chopping off part of the model's feet and painting heels in their place.)
