It's the natural way of talking, if you take everything literally life would be impossible... And it is interview, surely he could have chosen his words better, but considering the fact that he answered like in 5-10 seconds there isn't enough time to be precise, interviews aren't meant to be taken that literally, we have literature for that :P

No offence but when i say "decade" i mean decade = 10 years. And if i say decade andhalfi mean jus that.

If i wanted to not be exact i can say "He's roughly a decade younger than me" or "He's roughly two decades younger than me".
At least when talking about a characetrs age.

Though i've read in books they mentioned "1960s"ofc it's not a exact thing, but when speaking of a person or character's age then i don't see why i should take "decade" as a rough number.

Yeah but that's why interviews are interviews, because we make mistakes in our grammar so basically there are two options either he meant exactly what he said or "forgot" to add the bolded part, of course if you are prepared to say it, you say it right but people are not robots, and you can never really know what the interviewer is gonna ask, so you have little to none time to think your answers through...

This debate is so stupid that I'm gonna stop now >_<

The U.S. claimed their independence three centuries ago. Does that mean that we did so exactly 300 years ago?

No, but we´re not talking about history here, and it´s a small number. It´s 15 years margin, where as the margin for the war is 300. That number is 20x as much as the one Tameem says the difference is between his and Dantes.

As far it goes i don´t see why when it´s talk about a character´s age compared to developers, and such small number that it needs to be a rough margin.

@ Raz:
Either he meant what he said, or the interviewer didn´t cover every word he said, or he didn´t mean it in a exact manner.
Saying Decade AND half sounds like he meant what he said. I mean if he wanted to give a rough age comparison he could express that in a different way.

I hope for closure sake that his age is revealed.
 
i dont give a crap what his age is all i know hes probaly a person getting thinking hes a devil hunter,
(i like bring the negative side of things)

You're nitpicking so hard right now, it's not even funny.
 
I think if Tameem intended to be exact he would of just said his age. Which i don't think there is a definite age for Dante anyways. Just like 99% of all video game characters

Well he was comparing himself to Dante to make a point that Dante is not based on him.
If i was going to compare your and my age, i wouldn't say "Your 15, i am 17". I would probably say "Your two years younger than me" or "I am two years older than you".

Point being: he was comparing his and Dante's age and gave us the difference.

Why wouldn't saying the exact age be relevant? It seems more spot on than saying two years older because it doesn't really mean 730 days. i'm just going off your anal logic here. Sayin a decade and a half, to me, is a vague estimate. He could of said two decades and the interview would of ended the exact same way.

At first I thought NT was gonna make Dante a teenager, like 17-19, but as of late i can see Dante being in his early 20's to about 24 years old.

Point being: he was comparing his and Dante's age and gave us the difference.

Great detective work Watson!

@ Wallenb:
Are you two or something? You said if Tameem wanted to be exact he could have said Dante´s age.
And i replied he was comparing his and Dante´s age and told us the difference, and you give me a "great work watson" bs? If you knew then why did you say what you said about Tameem speaking in a exact manner?

Considering Tameem knows his age and Dante´s age, he does´t have to tell us those numbers when comparing, all he needs to do is tell us the outcome of the comparison.

Tameem is male, Dante is male = true
Tameem age, Dante age = false
Tameem looks, Dante looks = false


@ Moderators:
Please close this thread, i felt pretty sure i had the character´s age figured out. But i am told i am wrong (and without a convincing argument), and there are few peoples who aren´t interested in the topic but still visits this thread and leaves a unnecessary comment.
 
Ok!

Here's how we settle this!

Dante is 21^ because he goes into a CLUB like it's nothing.

Don't think he's 21, look how he tries to walk by the bouncer.
On top of that, he lives....I'm sorry LIVED in a trailer, how old do you have to be to live in one of those?
