I just want to address this real quick before bringing it back on topic. Just because someone openly disagrees with another, and then that person counters, is nothing more than a debate. We need to stop falling for this "Oh someone disagrees with me, they hate me" attitude that seems to be pretty rampant in this community.
And I think this was the first time someone accused me of being in some sort of clique here on the forums. Trust me when I say I am nowhere near that popular on here, nor in real life either
That being said, it's not so much age that is the problem. It's the believability of it. I personally do not believe a 19yr old miqote runs the biggest crime ring in Ul'dah, sits in the Quicksand talking about how mean/lean they are. Meanwhile the whole place is teeming with bounty hunters and city guards. I'm sorry but to me that's just not immersive.
It's believable that a Dragoon is very proficient in their abilities, but to be considered among the elite, without really having any actual experience fighting dragons like the ones in the trailer, once again, just does not seem immersive.
And I will admit, if someone has a nice backstory on why their young character is a badass, and it makes sense, I can buy into that and accepting it. But if it's all "Me 16yr old dragon vanquishing master level general dragoon because I say so".......then goodbye and have a nice day.
