Ages in Bishoujo games

How old are the characters in the Japanese version of X-change 2? Their uniforms are of high schools, right? I noticed that Honami, in “Snow Drop” seems to be a bit too petite (in voice and body) to be truely “18”…not that I’m complaining though.

Just thought I’d ask…as basic as this question seems to be.

thats something ive often wondered… but figured that the companies didnt want to disclose that info… i specially wondered with TCI… and come see me tonight (after someone pointed out the age of the mother then the age of the daughters.

Here’s a recent thread discussing ages in games

TCI is a great example, especially with with "the trio"'s "Kumi". Also, the boy in X0change 2 who you have to tutor doesn't look or seem to be anything over the age of twelve.
And I find it humorous to see a Nintendo 64 in XC2.

Heh it coulda been worse they could have had a sega master system or super famicon

You know I don’t really pay attention to the ages in these games. There are women in the real world that look like they are high schoolers when they actually already graduated from college But I think in Watanishi and Xchange2 they’re actually in high school.

Yup. My friend, a very petite Asian girl, was very insulted when she was asked her age at a movie theatre. The lady had wanted to check if she qualified for the child admission rate. I would have been more amused if I hadn't gotten a look from the lady that told me she had also misguessed my age and had thought I was my friend's father.

[img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/biggrin.gif[/img]. Now, this reminds me of an event a couple of weeks ago.. I meet a friend whom I hadn't meet for many, many months...
anyway, she didn't reknogize me, until one of her friends pointed at me and said "Look, isn't that guy your friend?" Then she looked at em and said to her friend "That one? Naw, can't be, he looks like an old man.." Had that been an anime, I'd have sweatdroped. I know that I at that time had grown a small beard, but I didn't think I'd look THAT old in it -_-;. a moment later, she DID reknogize me and aplogized about that, but she said that I looked so different from when I meet her last time.. -_-;;...

I thought it “cute” to see the music player in X-change being used in the karaoke bar (look to the right when she’s singing)

Heh, you noticed those too eh? [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/smile.gif[/img] I can't believe I actually spent a minute or two going "why do those images look familiar?" Boy am I going senile or what?!? [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/tongue.gif[/img]

Heh. Well with that and considering how long it took me to catch the LMM Pandora's Box reference in Snow Drop, it's a wonder I notice anything at all... [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/tongue.gif[/img]
