Favorite old guys in RPGs?
Japanese rpgs are known to worship childhood so you rarely see PLAYABLE old dude characters.
What are some old guys from RPGs you like?

I mean like... no? Honestly you see more playable old guy characters in jrpgs than wrpgs - partially because they tend to go for ensemble casts more often. The main character is usually going to be the same - a 16-20 yo male in jrpgs and a 25-30 yo male in wrpgs, but you're much more likely to get an old guy in the jap stuff.

Also this bad boy right here from ff14. One of the best designs in that game IMO next to Hades, and one of the all time best monk concepts I've seen.

The way the dragon pet integrated onto his armor and character theme was top notch.

Sadly, he was criminally underused for one story sequence and his miniboss fight.

My favorite trope in video games. An old badass. Usually either overpowered or useless seems there's no middle ground.

>>3769157 (OP)
Best mage in the normal game. Problem is, you only get him in hard mode and near the end of the game and he starts.at level 1 so that kinda sucks.

>>3769399
Dude's like a decade younger than me. Cool character though.

>>3769443
Only guy who doesn't come back. Now, that's bullshit.

>>3769462
Thematically cool, unfortunately probably the worst character in the game mechanics wise.

>>3769542
One more for the bullshit category. Fuck you, Square.


Pic related is top tier in his game though.

35 is old especially in Spira, where Sin makes sure no one lives past 20. People marry young, everyone's parents are dead
