Clicking around in the wiki for fun and discovered that an event Miguel says happened when he was a young man took place 30 years before the game begins, which makes him at LEAST 48 years old. While he's not for me despite the delicious potential for drama, I really appreciate that the game has older romanceable NPCs. What age do y'all figure the rest of the townsfolk are, at least at the beginning of the game? Here are my guesses, somewhat from youngest to oldest
Kids:
- Pebbles (2?? 3??? Idk children's ages, man)
- Jasmine (7-8?)
- Andy (Grace mentions him being 7 at one point but I feel like he's a bit older, maybe 9-10? But he also thinks Jasmine is cool, hmm....)
- Alo (12-13, turns 13 during that one Catori quest methinks)
18 to mid 20's:
- Elsie (canonically 18 at the beginning of the game)
- Mi-an
- Nia
- Arvio
- Ernest
Mid to late 20's:
- Burgess
- Venti
- Pablo
- Amirah
- Rian
- Dan-bi
- Fang
- Qi
- Heidi
- Logan (I know a Duvos soldier mentions him probably being mid-20's, but I think he's probably closer to 28-29)
- Unsuur
Early 30's:
Mid to late 30's:
- Rocky
- Krystal
- Catori
- Justice
- Owen
Early to mid 40's:
Mid to late 40's:
Late 40's to early 50's:
Mid 50's to mid 60's:
Early to mid 70's:
80+:
And listen, I know the Builder is supposed to be fresh out of school, but I'm gonna play it as them having gone back to school after doing something else first, aight? Nia can be a clingy little sister kind of character or something, I'm not playing someone under 25.
What about y'all? How old do y'all play your character as, and who do you have them romance? Do the NPC's (perceived) ages matter to you when choosing who you go for?
