Forgive me for possibly being wrong, but I thought that in "The Trials of 
Morisato," it was stated that Yggdrasil regulated their emblem programs=their 
apparent age.  Perhaps it is Yggdrasil that is keeping an eye on them, so to 
speak, as to what age(s) they maintain, and perhaps with enough power, they 
could change age, but only for a limited amount of time (or a lot of 
endurance).

Comments?  (Taking cover)

--Mebek "the kana-meister" (totally unrelated)

P.S. on another totally unrelated note, I am planning to be in Japan from 
mid-May to early June, if this study abroad program holds up.  If anyone is 
interested in getting together during those times, I will make known the 
travel schedule in the future.  Hopefully, the AMG movie will be out by then
