I don't think much has been stated about ages except that Elezen have slightly extended life spans, but they never say how long or which race they are comparing them to..
She is rare! Â However, Sylphie isn't a White Mage. Â She's a Hearer, and while they are rare, they are not exclusive. Â They can be of any race, too, according to Lore (altho it appears they are most commonly Hyur and Elezen, that may be simply because Gridania is primarily a Hyur and Elezen city-state).
So it's special, but not exclusive like a White Mage. Â And she's extremely talented in healing, which you can also be without being a White Mage.
Quote:The way I always put it is that someone who is say 19 or 20, probably doesn't have very much experience in combat (unless their childhood warrants it) and would get bested most of time by say a war veteran in their 40's. Plus I think it takes away from the fun of playing a younger character if they enter the world and already know how to summon of beasties and killed 1000 soldiers. I personally like giving my characters a bit of skill and then growing them IC in the game. Provides much more fun RP in my opinion ^^
Playing a character who is just getting started and learning is great fun. Â ^_^
