How old are each of the main characters in lore?

[Kesey]

I wish with G'raha that they'd gone a different route - I agree that he seems to have too many similarities to existing Scions (I feel his role is pretty much covered by Urianger and Alphinaud - the only "niche" he seems to have is the Allagan blood which they've relied on for two patches now).

I would have rather his arc been that due to his efforts on the First - building up the Crystarium and summoning the people who would save the shard, including his role in that - that he would realise he's a hero in his own right, and that while we were still his inspiration, that he's ready to go off and have his own adventures. I'd have loved to have seen him thank us, and go off to strike his own path in Eorzea.

Then he could have come back into the story at points where it makes sense to have him there, which would be a fun surprise for his fans. As it is I feel like he's just sort of... bloat? He was far more tolerable in 5.5 I felt, but he didn't really add anything.

This, honestly, was would have been the best course of action. Now he's on the border of a predator and really would serve the narrative best by dying. All this his dream to travel with us to be hero is nonsense because he's an actual hero on the First and in the dark timeline. He already got what he wanted. Why couldn't we have just went to his body on the source at the end of 5.3 and just laid his staff at his feet? That way each world would have their own monument to him.

His whole I have Allagan blood thing isn't a strong enough plot point that the writers could have circumvented with some other solution. If he is just hanging around till 3/4's of the way through Endwalker just be all I have the Allagan blood to allow access to the spaceship to the moon, then again why has he lived beyond the 5.3 storyline?

And since we're using obscure references, G'raha is very similar in behavior Jed Parry from Ian McEwan's novel Enduring Love. How one shared tragic experience can lead to psychological problems when one doesn't understand the context of personal boundaries.

And those who shrug off his character faux pas as flattery to be endured should really put themselves in the shoes of players who may have been victims of unwelcomed advances and now have to relive it in a video game they enjoy.
