Ok Japan, now you're just taking the piss

Cid from Final Fantasy 9 was 35?! THIS GUY, with the steely grey beard and glorious regal moustache?! He's clearly 20 years older than that!
As an adult I thought it was kind of funny that Steiner, at 33, is the designated doddering fussy comic relief old man of the party but this is just nuts.
I keep being confounded by the way Japanese media treats age. 6-21 is prime adventuring age, you're practically done at 25 and afterwards you should just shuffle off to a retirement home
Kiryu and Majima basically haven't aged at all, other than 0 where they look younger, I swear they look the same in every game. While playing Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, I had to constantly remind myself that Majima is canonically 60, lol.
