Hope, not Hope?

Hope Estheim, not considered bishie, but always in my tastes... undergone some really shocking changes.

From this:

Age: 14

To this:

Age: 24 - 27

And then this:

Age: 527

What are you playing at, Square?

...how Hope has matured in the intervining time since Lightning last saw him will be one of the game's core themes.

Are you trying to fool me?
Wait, being mature doesn't mean you need to grow in physical appearance, but still... Snow has it! He is even 521 (surprisingly younger than Hope in both 13-2 and LR, considering he's older than the later by 7 years in 13)!

Square is being a -beep-.
