Here via (http://renay.dreamwidth.org/profile)renay (http://renay.dreamwidth.org/), and this is a great catch; I can't believe I never really noticed it before.
To go off on a tangent about Lulu, the whole "Lulu is 22" thing in canon bothers me so much, not only because she looks and acts so much older, but because it's directly contraindicated by canon -- when she's talking with Wakka about the Sin attack that killed their parents, she says "I was five, then." In the context of the conversation, this statement strongly implies that she was older than Wakka, because she can remember her parents but he has no memory of his. So I don't care what Ultimania or the game booklet says; if Wakka is 23 (which is game canon, not just documentation canon), Lulu has to be at least 24. Which makes so much more sense.
Aaaaand, that was a rant from a random stranger, sorry. But in a way, it helps illustrate the point: the game developers are so desperate to keep its female characters young that they ignore their own canon to make it work.
