I agree with the article for the most part. There are so many parts of a game that you have to bring together to make it a GREAT game. Characters, gameplay, story, and in some cases graphics. The age thing is a great point as well. Now that I'm older and still into RPGs, I really find some of the dialogue and attitude of the protagonists REALLY annoying.
Take Tales of Vesperia as an example. Who DOESN'T love Raven? Old guy, lots of life experience, hilariously perverted :P. He's my favourite character in the game, even though he's 15-20 years older than I am, I can relate to him more than Estelle who's really boring and dull since it's such an overused role.
