    Now that we've had some time to joke around... I'd like to bring this back around.

    To get a serious answer to this question, we have to ask it in a certain way. As Ferne has said, temporal passage in-game is bound by Simpsonian Physics (20 years later, Bart is still in 4th grade, Maggie is still a baby, and Jasper, despite being in a nursing home the entire time, is still fit enough to dole out a paddlin'). In-game characters were created to be a specific age, and that is the only age they will ever be aside from anchored existences in echoes because, despite there being a "passage of time" in game, it's basically like a cumulative Groundhog Day. Once the lights go on, it's always the same year thereafter.

    Therefore, we need to ask about a singular number or formula that applies theoretically.

    What is the average life expectancy of each race?
    (and if they're this thorough: +/- non-extraordinary variation or gender differences)
    Example
    Lalafell: Between 125 and 150 Eorzean Years, average 135, females live about 10 years longer than males
