Question about Elves

[When Loopers Attack!]

In the Suikoden World are elves immortal or do they die like other races? It is clear that they age slower, an example of this is Urda who is actually 46 years old by the beginning of Suikoden 5,but she looks like she is only 20. However, Selma of Suikoden 4 is 31 years old and she looks like she is that old, so do the elves of Suikoden simply age slower or are they immortal?

[Tiger]

they arn't inmortal they just age slow just like you said.

sylvina (spelling correct???) said that humans are such a low race because we only live like 50 years or so....

and we know that they age an example is stallion who age from suko 1 to the second game...

and correct me if im wrong on this but didnt the elven leader of suikoden 1 died??

[Vextor]

Yeah, he died because he was blown to bits by the Burning Mirror.

Suikoden elves live 1.5 times longer than humans, so it's not that much longer. Dwarves live longer in Suikoden, with 1.7 times the lifespan.

[Sagiri]

Honestly, I just think that they age slowly. Who can guess how old Paula is?

[JanusThePaladin]

Yeah, he died because he was blown to bits by the Burning Mirror.

Suikoden elves live 1.5 times longer than humans, so it's not that much longer. Dwarves live longer in Suikoden, with 1.7 times the lifespan.

Where did you get that information?

[patapi]

From one of the Japan-only merchandise publications. It's probably in the Encyclopaedia, too.

[JanusThePaladin]

Really? Why did no one bring that up in the nonhuman aging thread we had awhile back? is it recent?

[Sagiri]

From one of the Japan-only merchandise publications. It's probably in the Encyclopaedia, too.

What encyclopedia? Is there a Suikoden Encyclopedia????

[wladodragovic]

I think it's called Gensopedia...? I'm not sure, I was never there.

[Iesous]

No, I think the encyclopedia that they're referring to is a Konami-produced work. Gensopedia is a fan site and is no more authoritative than you or me talking.

[Matthijs]

I doubt that information is true.


Quote: sylvina (spelling correct???) said that humans are such a low race because we only live like 50 years or so....




If Elves would live 1.5 times as long they would live 75 years.. So that would be a stupid reaction.

[Iesous]

How would that be a stupid reaction? If you only lived 50 years, wouldn't you want an extra 25. That's a big chunk relative to your normal lifespan.

[EternalOnslaught]

Nothing stupid about it, living 25 extra years is a lot of time. I guess it shouldn't be much of a surprise that Elves live longer than humans. It's become apparent in almost everything where the two races reside in, rather it be a movie, book, video game, etc.
