I see a lot of criticism directed at Serah and Snow's supposedly controversial relationship. The main arguments I hear are:
A. She looks like a schoolgirl
B. Is underage
C. Is half Snow's size.
There is no basis in any of those arguments. Serah is 18, therefore the legal issue is irrelevant. Her 'schoolgirl' appearance may be due to the fact that she is still a teen and has just finished high school. Snow is 21, a 3-year age gap being a common and perfectly acceptable age gap imo. Consider Locke and Celes from VI: Locke is 25, Celes 18. Age gap argument nullified.
As for the height issue, Serah is of average height for a girl her age (5'4") while Snow is unusually tall (6"7'). Height difference between a couple is not a valid argument for their relationship being inappropriate.
Though Serah and Snow hardly have the most engaging or developed relationship in the series, I find the criticism towards them based on the supposed 'inappropriate' nature of their pairing one of a petty and uninformed opinion.
Okay, my rant's officially over, thanks for listening
I just had to get it out there cos it was really starting to annoy me...
P.S. All height, age and other general info is sourced from FF Wiki.
EDIT: To the mods - sorry about the double post! I'm on the site on my cellphone and now it won't let me delete the other post! Apologies!
