determining the ages of RF characters

Bryght Knowledge · Post Posted: Jan 13, 2015 5:53 pm

This is a subject, that I have been pondering about. What are the ages of every character from RF1 to RF4?

Because some of the bachelors and bachelorettes look like they're not yet older teens.

Hmm I'd say they're in their 20?
Considering that you can marry Xiao Pao, Kiel or Amber even though they look really young.
For the "older" ones, i'd say that Leon and Dylas might be around 24..
At least in my opinion ^^

Xiao Pai is actually older than Lest, according to her dialogue.

But there is no correct answer, as Hashimoto said that the ages are up for interpretation. He gave his opinion going by looks, and he put Kiel the youngest, then Arthur-Doug-Vishnal around the same age, then Dylas, then Leon being the oldest.

"When it comes to Vishnal, Doug and Arthur, the order’s quite tentative and difficult to place. Arthur may be calm and knowledgeable, but he’s still lacking experiences, which explains why he’s in the same age range with Vishnal and Doug. Kiel without doubt is definitely the youngest among them. But then, he added that since the game takes place in a fantasy world, so it should be reasonable to consider it when you think for the suitable age for marriage in this game. He gave no exact age for any of them and leave it to the player to decide."

For girls: Hashimoto ranks their ages by looks as Forte > Meg > Clorica > Dolce > Xiao > Amber "Forte’s the oldest among them. Also, despite her seriousness and sense of duty, she’s in fact the girliest of all. Xiao Pai and Kohaku look very young, with Kohaku looks the youngest. She may be indeed the youngest…Note the “May”. It’s important. He leaves it to the player to decide, but after you’ve seen her marriage sub-event." - Both quotes are from an official magazine article that was posted on the Kaze no Travelers tumblr. (There are spoilers, beware)http://kaze-no-travelers.tumblr.com/pos ... ents-about

For my opinion, I'd say Leon in his early 30's, Dylas late 20's, Doug/Arthur/Vishnal early 20's, Kiel 16-18.
Leon: Early 30's
Dylas: Late 20's
Doug/Arthur/Vishnal: Early 20's
Kiel: 16-18
Lest: Early 20's, or 18-19

The gals are harder to place for me. I'd say that Forte/Meg are probably mid to late 20's, Clorica/Dolce mid 20's, Xiao early 20's (but older than Lest) and Amber "16-18" for appearance alone.

Keep in mind too that both Meg and Dolly are elves, so by all rights they could be MUCH older than they look.

I think that it's really up to your opinion, like the posts above say.
I'm 22, and I would never marry Kiel - because he seems "much younger" than me xD.
So it's really up to you and your interpretation

But I am glad that you guys have similarities on the age of the characters

Now I can marry Doug without any second thought ^^

Don't worry about the age thing; doesn't matter if you're 13 or 60, playing the game is for fun no matter who your character marries and whatever their age is. :D (I'm almost 30 myself, so I understand the worry)
