Costa del Sol, he is an NPC flirting with a Female Miqo'te, and he states he's pleasured many women in his fifty and five years...

I'm doing the L30 CRP quest and it seems that the Elezen do not age as hyur.

Geva states an older gentleman came to the guild for a request. When I meet this older gentlemen, he doesn't look at that old to me and his son is going to join the Wood Wailers.

The name of the elezen is Camillain.

How long do chocobos live?

You know, I'll totally take that addendum, because one of the quests kinda implies that they live pretty damn long for an animal. O.o

I'd love some answers to this too.

I named my chocobo "Bonchon" after one of my fav food franchises.. so, the answer, at least for mine, is "not too long"

I'm looking for an answer to this as well.
We have some ideas behind some races but knowing for sure would be great.

This heavily ties in with my interest to create an aged character!
There's speculation that size of creature related to heartbeat and bpm gives a close indication to age constraints.
I always think Lalafell have extended lifespans, but at the same time I'm always led to believe they're limited to something like 60 years average.

Roe's with their impressive stature I expect somewhere averaging around 100-120.
Elves can live for stupid long.

I'd say Cats die roughly 5-10~ years sooner than Hyur.

Maybe with the advancements of modern medicine, thanks to magic, we just all live forever now.
This may further explain how very few NPCs died during the calamity. We're all simply immortal beings.

Except that if you talk to anybody, a LOT of people died during the Calamity.

The storyline of that quest specifically mentions his age being special and the resolution of the quest further shows why.
