That's a good point about the female archetypes; there's a variety of male characters, but the women can almost always be delineated in the same way. More range would be wonderful.
Ageing really is ridiculous in the world of Final Fantasy. Auron is not in his thirties! He's just not!
Freya was twenty-one, which surprised me, because I always thought of her as older. Amongst other reasons, I love Freya for being a rare example of a female character who actually deviates significantly from the human (Fran deviates as well, but I wouldn't say it's a significant deviation). Characters like Red XIII, Cait Sith (well, he has a non-human form in your party, at least), Mog, Umaro, Vivi, Kimahri; all male. Why can't we have female non-human Final Fantasy characters more often?
