Topic About The Age, not about how old is that character? tough Options

[Gaggy]

Since I have addicted to this game.(Dunno how and why?) I've been reading Lots & Lots of Fanfic but I found a common mistake in almost every fanfic I read so I just wanna ask one question to everybody in here (Who Probably Know the Truth...)

The Question
Did you Know that Lina actually older than Fia?

The reason I ask because it is very fruastrating when i see that mistake

PS. Check the spelling for me please (Need practicing)

Yes, most of us do know that Lina is actually older than Fia as stated in the game.

The people who don't know and make mistakes are the people who don't bother knowing EVERYTHING about the game and just jump to making fanfics.

Ill-prepared people in other words.

Lina may be older than Fia but psychologically Lina is just a crying baby (that's why people think Lina younger than Fia).



PS:Don't hate me for hating Lina.

It's never completely, 100% confirmed. It can go one way or the other.

And so it ends. I was able to talk to one of the awesome people at Atlus, named Mike, and he kindly explained everything to me. I'm including a copy of both E-mails, though his will be hidden. Just in case.

This isn't exactly a rant, however I was afraid to use the other E-mail addresses availabe since this question didn't seem to fit well in those categories.

I was curious concerning the age of each character. Serene states that she is the same age as Ein, Lina says she's a year older than Fia (I highly doubt it unless Fia is very young, which I also highly doubt), and Cierra is an adult. However, there's no real concrete age provided. Just enough to make assumptions. Also, didn't Lina say she was 80-something pounds? I would really like to know the truth about how old everyone is.

Are Lina and Fia sisters? They definitely seem like it. But if they are, why do they have different-colored hair? I'm asking too much here, aren't I? =P

And were any details like these changed during translation from Japanese to English?

Thank you to whoever addresses my questions.

Sincerely, A Curious Fan

Hiya Takeru,

Thanks for writing. I'll do my best to answer your questions, but most of these are educated guesses and assumptions -- most of which you already know.

We don't have exact ages, but we can determine relative ages. Cierra is definitely the oldest (seen in Chapter 4 with the Red Panel). As you mentioned earlier, Serene and Ein are the same age. Lina, although immature and small for her age, is _definitely_ a year older than Fia (You've seen it, yourself). Fia's very mature for her age, but she is the youngest of the group. CoCo mentioned something about Fia, but never actually tells us. If I recall, she said something like "She may not look it, but Fia is actually... No, nevermind."

Finally, Fia and Lina are not sisters. If they were, the Elder would address Lina as granddaughter as well (which he does not). Also, hair-color does not necessarily convey blood relation (as seen with Sage and Fool in Chapter 4). And, to the best of my knowledge, important details such as these weren't changed. Hope that answers your questions.

Judging by what has finally been revealed, Fia is the youngest of the group. So now it makes sense! w00t! So if we make Ein's base age 14, then Cierra should be 16-20 since she doesn't look too old, Serene should be 14 like Ein, Fia would be maybe 10-12, and Lina a year older. Ledah is probably the same age as Cierra.

The part about Lina being a WHOLE YEAR older than Fia is probably closer to only a few months or even weeks apart.
