Something this game is not very clear on, but these chapters take place over a series of years, so despite the fact that Dew starts... Actually we don't have Dew's age.

These are the known ages, but lets take Fin for example. Fin's 15 when we first meet him, by the time we get to Chapter 5 he's more like 20. And in Thracia 776 (which takes place a year after the beginning of the Second Generation) Fin is 34.

Lets use Leaf as out base, since he was a baby at the end of Gen 5 (which means Altenna was like a 4 year old, which makes something in Chapter 5 seem very stupid.) So if the end of Gen 1 is 15 years, then Gen1 itself takes 4 years. And I think that's still a bit wrong. But the ages between games REALLY don't match up. So take the official ages with a pinch of salt.
