So here's an idea I got, believe it or not, from Nostalgia Critic parodying the Got Milk ads of the old days. If our characters, when they were young, either a child or a teenager, were given a moment to look upon their future selves, or even, say, interact with them, how would they react? Would they like what they see? Or would they be terrified? What would they say?

Have at it! I look forward to your responses!

Jacq would probably be pretty stoked. She was very sheltered as a child and didn't really see her life going beyond just having a steady job at the barge. It was simple, paid well and really demanded most of her time, so it was easy to get lost in her work.

But then her commanding officer came around, plucked her up for the war efforts and life has been one crazy roller coaster ever since. I mean, just the other day, she helped take down her very first dragon. How cray is that?

As for Bea? I'm not convinced she ever was a child. I think she came out of the womb a fully formed mad woman. Tongue

Past Newton would wonder why she's now an Elezan. Seeing herself as a Lalafell would probably just break her frail little mind and lead to many awkward questions with few sane sounding answers.

In all honesty, she'd be proud because Future Newton has home, security and doesn't have to pick between eating and stealing from people. She would wonder when she got pretentious enough to go around wearing fake glasses all the time though.

This actually happened to Erik before. After leading a squad of Flames against a mage fooling with illegal magics effecting time (never said time mage... but totally a time mage lol). Even though he and his men captured the mage, a day or two later what he thought had been a missfired spell turned out to be a curse of youth, reducing him in age to the age and mental level he was his first day in Ul'dah.

He would shift from being himself to randomly reducing in memory and experiance to his sixteen self. When he was in his lost memory mode those around him explained things to him. He was in total disbelief that he a weakling highlander halfbreed with soft hands and gentle soul could have grown to be such a cold soldier with his skills and responsibility.

Past Asmodean would have a mix of pride and fear. He'd be proud to see he's thrown off the bindings of his over protective father, proud to see he would one day would be an adventurer. However the scars, mainly the bone deep one on his face, along with the seemly uncontrollable anger at time would terrorize the boy.  

Things would only get worse if young Asmo saw the Calamity as his current self has and that's not even thinking about the darker half Asmo now has thanks to the blacked Warrior soulstone. 

If anything, seeing what he would become might very well put him on another path if not out right trying to avoid the version I RP for ff14.

Past Qhora would really wonder what the freaking hell happened. She'd find it difficult to believe at even the most basic level, that the person she was seeing could possibly be the same individual. There'd be just enough ties to her past existence to make her question her sanity, and then she'd end up on a mission to try and figure out and thus avoid the events in between.

If childhood/teenage Zarek saw himself...he'd probably be very shocked if not terrified honestly. He grew up as a momma's boy basically. She sheltered and taught her little half-n-half son a lot and with her gone he pretty much fell in with the wrong crowd (the Syndicate) and was raised as such.

If a childhood/teenage Martiallais saw himself....well he'd probably say he was a heretic for what he's done. >_>

Kid Kurt would be terrified and very unsettled about how he would grow up. This guy, who just keeps on getting hurt by the people around him no matter what he does. 

Kid Ramona would wonder why she even calls herself Ramona to begin with. That's not her name.

Kid Nah would just stare at her current self in awe. So cool....

Just for the hell of it.

Young Kurt is just chilling in the Wench, getting used to life in Limsa when a random green eyed lady just approaches him out of nowhere.

YK: Who're you?

MS: I'm you.

YK: Me?

MS: Yes. Katrina Steel at your service...Kurt.

YK: If yo--

KS: You got thrown off the boat by mom when you were five, around the time you started learning how to use that axe on your back. I know for a fact you had no idea what you're doing here and you never really did want to leave home as much as mom kicked you out. 

YK: I...see.

And young Kurt sold all his meager possessions including the axe for a ticket back to Wineport. Just nopes out of the whole situation.

Aaron would be perfectly ok with how he is.

Hell he'd probably ask his older self if he's beating up any thug that messes with him.

Super stoked. Drama and danger and all Zutoto went from being a girl who figured she'd be spending her life fishing or frying fish in the inn to an adventurer who uses her magic gifts.

Young Zalikko would be terrified and go through trauma upon seeing what horrible, violent things (coughmurdercough) she'll have to do and get away with, in short, she'd go through existential crisis.

Poor little Zali never knew or had any aspirations to become what she is originally.

J'Zalikko Heleh - Miqo'te full of sprite
Harzonald - Lalafell Black mage
????? - Dorgun Au'ra thing
