The old Vita thread definitely had someone say that Disgaea wasn't anime, I remember because my response was 'Disgaea literally has an anime'.

Honestly I can see what people mean when they say something like older FFs and Fire Emblems aren't anime--they aren't literally saying the art isn't anime-styled or whatever, they're referring to a cluster of related tropes which are very divisive (things like the characters being teens instead of 20s, verbal tics, maids, catgirls, etc etc). Disgaea and Danganronpa are among the most anime games I've played even by that metric though so I have no idea what the gently caress those people mean by "anime" other than "thing I don't like"

A) all the characters in older FF games are teens and B) stuff like catgirls, maids, verbal tics werent common anime tropes at the time those games were made. Those games were taking cues from common anime tropes of the time. ff7 is super inspired by late 80s/early 90s sci-fi ovas, fe4 is taking cues from stuff like rose of versailles, record of lodoss war, etc.

I can buy Quistis as 18 (and the oldest member of the party) because she's got the whole prodigy in over her head thing going on, and the whole thing is basically about emotionally traumatized child soldiers. Celes as 18 was never plausible to me.

Celes as 18 was never plausible to me. i forget- was she a veteran general who was made into a magitek warrior or was she born in a vat and made a general because of her powers? because one is more plausible than the other

Growing up I straight up ignored whatever any final fantasy character's listed age was and came up with my own, and now that I'm an adult I just don't care anymore.

So I guess they made her a general because she has powers, and Leo is the only general who's actually qualified for the job. So you may be right.

Except poo poo like Tales of Zestiria where half the characters are thousands of years old but still act like children. Oh god I just realized that's what it is now that I've put it that way, and I always thought that trope was an exaggeration.

the only imperial general who acts remotely like anything resembling a general is leo, kefka and celes are just kind of random superpowered guys who wander around doing whatever they want

obviously it always had tons of anime influences but the early games were a mishmash of a bunch of different things. 6 in particular just throws everything in there its not a value judgement, I dont think being anime makes the series any better or worse. But you can deffo see how they made the transitions to a fully anime art style from 6 to 7

I feel like I've seen that more in people 5-10ish years older than I am (I'll be 26 in February) than people around my own age but obviously that's just anecdotal.
