Most is not the same as all. Most Greeks didn't live to be that age either, but some did.

In the line that you're quoting from me I also say that there's a Lalafell who is much older than the "typical" expiration date. His age is confirmed in the Eorzea Encyclopedia as 132 but he's a race that's "supposed" to have a limit of 100 but he's not infirm or anything. He does happen to be a mage, which most certainly helps. I'm pretty sure most Eorzean peasants aren't mages so that probably skews the average.

And again, the Padjal lead Gridania and we know of at least one who would have been alive back during the Autumn War. E-Sumi-Yan stopped counting after 100 and people think he's at least 230. He would certainly have been involved in those events. Besides, even if there was no one from back then who was still alive, resentment doesn't last just a single generation, just ask the Garleans who are still pissed off over lands lost 600 years ago. And again, there was a whole faction that supported the guy in the bard quests and an NPC said there was grumbling about Ala Mhigo being liberated.
