Like this random kid in a village becomes a god killer. Fine, but what about the millions of other kids in the world? FF actually gave really strong reasons for everyone in the party to be there, that's what made it good. It couldn't have been anyone else doing that journey. 7-10 definitely did that, and 15 also did it. The thing is usually that random kid has some desire to be a hero, FFVII is more about people who are just plain average and want to live their everyday joe life. Also, the youngest main character in FFVII is Yuffie at 16 I think, and shes a side character, they don't bother with little kids like many annoying modern anime shows and games do, and it comes off as more realistic cause of this. --- "Lower your guard and you will allow the enemy in." - Frog from Chrono Trigger (the original alt frog). https://imgur.com/hSc6hOs <cite>Mozzezz posted [p:912679770] in Are people...
