Lifespans and Cultural Age Markers?

[Chaotic_Darkfae]

While there have been very little indications of the racial lifespans and cultural markers in game, I figured I would ask about it here and see if Squeenix might give us the answers out of game.

Basically, what I'm looking for is the average and maximum lifespan for each race, and what their age mile markers are. So basically, something like this being answered for each race:

Childhood: Birth - ??
Teen Years: ?? - ???
Adulthood: ??? - ????
Elder Years: ???? - ?????

Hopefully, Squeenix will give us some clarification, since role players do use age and age markers quite a bit.

I have also been looking for an answer to this for quite some time now.

Detailed information about lifespans, ages and cultural age markers are very essential information to Roleplaying activities, especially in building our characters.
Hopefully someone can confirm this soon, if its not too much trouble.

Thank you.

It's been over a month, so I'm bumping this in hopes of having a Red Name reply to it!

There was a thread on the old 1.0 forum a while ago about this very subject, and if I remember rightly it was generally agreed that hyur have more or a less an average human lifespan, with roegadyn and elezen having much longer lifespans. But little is known for sure.

I think in regards to the lalafell they seem to be a lot like the tarutaru from FFXI, in that once they reach a certain age they just stop physically aging, at least, they still look like children even though they're actually elderly.

I cant remember who the NPC is but there's a Lalafell NPC who actually states that he's 50-something. He's grey haired with a moustache too, so Lalas definitely age at a relatively normal rate.

There's a lala npc in the BlM quest who spends 90 years in prison and is running around pretty spryly.

So they can live pretty long. I guess the only way to tell their age is by greying facial hair or if they tell us huh?

You can't quite count THAT NPC, though
He has very particularly special circumstances around him, specifically the reason why he is a Black Mage, that make his age... Unusual

I mean no one acts like its unsual that a lala was in there for 90 years for example.

I actually came to the forums to post a thread about this, but this thread will do and I can just make an addendum to the question.

How long do chocobos live?
