guy is, like, 35 tops. i can understand a few old guy quips here and there, but every main protagonist dunks on him for being old nearly every talking scene, ok?

I mean, with all the monsters in the world, the average life expectancy might be like 50 or something.

Couple that with the ending where they completely lose all the barriers, and would result in even more chaos and deaths, he might as well be a senior citizen at that point.

The Japanese dub has them calling him Oji-sama, which is a derogatory term for middle aged men in Japan. We dont really have an equivalent phrase for that, so Old Man is as close as we can get.

but he also brings it upon himself.

(Not spoilers)
howre you enjoying the game, btw? Vesperia is by far my favorite game of all time, and Ive put more hours into it than anything else Ive ever played.

He may only be 35 but he is the oldest of the group. It's pretty common to jokingly refer to the oldest person as old, even if they are only a few years older.

It gets better.

Are you following a guide? Because if you arent, youve probably already missed half of the costumes and quest weapons.

no guide, i'm not playing all that hardcore, ok?

the definitive edition has a ton of costumes and stuff already, so i'm just kinda going at a leisurely pace, ok?

Vesperia is definitely the best Tales game and one of my favorite games ever. The Definitive Edition was my favorite reveal of the year.

the rest of the protags are young adults or teens, so Raven is old compared to them.
also the spoiler thing.
