Rayman's age

Before I thought he actually had an age, but Rayman Origins trailer prooves the contrary. When Rayman borns he isn't physically a baby.
 
I remember in Rayman For Juniors CE2, during the loading (Candy Château), I can see a cake with two birthday candles, you can watch this on RayWiki. That's only time I thought Rayman had an age :mrgreen:
 
Looking at Rayman 1 and related games (I am aware that the educational spinoffs are not considered canon...) I honestly cannot tell how old they intended Rayman to be! Sometimes his voice was manly, sometimes it was squeaky and childish. I mean, in that art style, he did look kinda young, but I dunno. It's hard to go by appearance in a game where a baby can be half the height of its mother. :fou2:
 
So let me get this correctly... Rayman has a kid's voice in Ray 1 and seems to give off that "child vibe" I guess one could call it, the events of Ray 2 supposedly took place RIGHT AFTER Ray 1 (according to RayWiki) despite the fact that Ray's voice and the way he behaves are a little more mature, and in Ray M/Arena Razorbeard and some of his goons are around, indicating this took place sometime during Ray 2... And, of course, Ray 3 he's obviously a teen, probably 16-18 area... but then his voice is change in Rayman Origins to be higher pitched... and to top it all off, he was created around the time of the first nightmare, suggesting that either the world is still young or Rayman and Co are ancient, but this conflicts with the whole aging bit... Can anyone truly figure out his age?

Where was this stated on the wiki? Nobody knows how much time passes between the games.

That isn't stated anywhere as far as I know. If it was, then it was a mistake and should be removed.
I'm more than sure I've seen that pop up two or thee times.. I might have misinterpreted when I read it, but if I find the suspicious text again, I'll make sure to let ya know, ok? The only reason I'm so sure is because I've had to study that RayWiki quite a lot to help bring my Rayman game idea closer to fruition, drilling myself on as much knowledge of the subject as possible (Yep, I have no life... Whee. :lol: joking, joking... or am I?)
 
The age of many video characters are often kept vague at best, Ubi wouldn't bother answering something as trivial as that.
In honesty, whilst the details are vague, I've always thought Rayman to have been a kid in the first game, a view which was shared by the developers of 2D Madness.
I think Rayman was a teen during R2 and a fully fledged adult by R3.
But hey, those are just observations I had made since I was 9 yrs old.

I really think Rayman can't be just a kid :?
Maybe for Rayman's 'species', being a kid is more stronger than we think? :|

Same. I've always seen Rayman as a kid in the first game. I don't know why. Just the way he looked, acted, talked, etc. I've always believe him to be a teenager/young adult in the following 2 games as well.
 
I think you can't tell it with numbers.

I have thought it like this:

R1: Young
R2: Adult
R3: Teen
RO: Young
RL: Teen

^ The art style also effects to the appearance.

Bit of fluxuationt here ay? I still think he is young in the R1, and a teen in all the rest of the series.
 
I always though in Rayman 1 Rayman was 20 years old (is Ray-man, not Ray-boy :oops2: ). In Rayman 2, because Rayman 2 was made 4 years after than Rayman 1 he was 24 years old. in Rayman 3 he is already 30 years old. Well but in Rayman Origins we see how Rayman borns and that makes me confuse :fou2: .
