Thank you for the correction! We just checked the FF Wiki and you are in fact correct; the admission age is 5-15, so it was an error on our part. Unfortunately we assumed because the youngest of the canon characters enrolled at the age of 10 that it was the earliest age of admittance.
After a thorough discussion with the rest of the mod team, however, we've decided that for the purpose of this game we will keep the admissions age between 10-26 with the special exceptions amendment still in effect. The plot and setting are a bit difficult to incorporate younger characters with no special abilities into, especially since they would be considered junior cadets and their education will have to be prolonged even further; they would require a completely different course selection which, at the time, would not be possible for us to structure given the amount of tasks the mod team already has on their plate. Ultimately this change in rules wouldn't effect most future applicants as younger characters with abilities will still be able to apply; this is geared towards characters native to the world and the number/type of NPCs assumed within the school.
