ReallySevenHundredYearsOld in Video Games.
----



* ''VideoGame/ANNOMutationem'': Noni, a major character in the Mysterious Console DLC, has the appearance of a young teen. At the end, it's revealed she's over two-hundred years old. The reason she hasn't aged at all is because [[spoiler:she's a [[VirtualGhost virtual copy]] of the real Noni who passed away from chronic disease and was created in her likeness by her parents after receiving aid from an unknown AnonymousBenefactor, but then ended up trapped in the device after they were killed in a car accident]].



* In ''VideoGame/{{Bayonetta}}'', Witches and Sages live for an extremely long time. Bayonetta herself is over 600, despite looking like she's in her twenties. [[spoiler:Cereza is technically a child, but she is the younger version of Bayonetta from the 15th Century.]]
** Considering her parents met in the 14th century (It's on the lipstick tube) and her mother was killed during the Witch Hunts 500 years before the events of the first game, Bayonetta was around 100-years-old when she was imprisoned and spent 500 of that in suspended animation. Point still stands for Jeanne, who was not in stasis and looks 30 at the oldest; and Balder, who is older than 600 or so and appears to be a very fabulous 40.
* ''Franchise/BlazBlue's'' local ElegantGothicLolita vampire, Rachel Alucard is at least 100-years-old physically but looks like a preteen. By the True End of ''Calamity Trigger'', [[spoiler:she [[TimeAbyss remembers 72,500 years]] of time-looped history. Hazama can remember it all too, so he quaifies]].

* Introduced in ''VideoGame/JakIIRenegade'' is Pecker, who is a [[MixAndMatchCritter moncaw]], a monkey-macaw mix. While it's not unheard of for macaws to live past the age of 75 in the wild and some monkeys can live up to their sixties, it doesn't explain how Pecker is really 118 years old in ''VideoGame/JakX''. Especially considering he and teenage Daxter [[ImmortalImmaturity bicker like children]].

** In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'', the cutesy, squeaky-voiced Loporrits are ''12,000'' years old. They've been constructing an ark to ferry mankind away from Etheirys since [[spoiler:Hydaelyn sundered the worlds.]] The only older beings in the setting are the Ascians, Midgardsormr, Omega, Hydaelyn, and Zodiark, though it's implied that the Loporrits spent at least some of this time in a form of hibernation.

** The Nabateans or "Children of the [[PhysicalGod Goddess]]" in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses'' are a race of [[DivineParentage demigods]] with some degree of immortality. [[spoiler: As such, TheReveal is that Rhea, Seteth, and Flayn are all over 1000 years old. Flayn in particular dodges the question whenever other characters ask her age in the present day.]]

* ''VideoGame/{{Fallout}}'':
** [[OurGhoulsAreDifferent Ghouls]] are "necrotic post-humans" who have been mutated into corpse-like creatures who benefit from radiation, and there are a good number of pre-war ghouls, like ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'' companion Raul Tejada, who were mutated when the bombs fell some two hundred years ago. Unfortunately, many of these first generation ghouls have since degenerated into mindless Feral Ghouls due to overexposure to radiation. [[spoiler:Eddie Winter]] from ''VideoGame/Fallout4'' is even older, since a radiation experiment turned him into the ''first'' ghoul, even before the apocalypse.

** Similarly, ''VideoGame/GuiltyGear'' has Sol Badguy and [[CulturedBadass Slayer]], both of which have been around for a while. Slayer is a [[OurVampiresAreDifferent vampire]] from a different dimension that likes to interact with people in Sol's world from time to time, even founding the Assassin's Guild hundreds of years before the plot of the first game.
** Sol is so old even he's forgotten how old he is. He doesn't even remember his birthday. He saved Kliff Undersn's life back when Kliff was only seven-years-old. It's implied by [[Music/{{Queen}} his music tastes]] that he was around in TheEighties, and the game is set in the year 2187, so you do the math.
** Dizzy is a rare inversion: She has the figure of a 20-year-old, but she's only three. And considering [[spoiler:Ky [[{{Squick}} had a child with her]]...]]

* ''VideoGame/StarCraft'': The protoss seem to have a lifespan approximately 10 times that of humans. It's implied that the xel'naga had even longer lifespans. [[spoiler:Samir Duran claims to have lived for millennia; ''Heart of the Swarm'' more or less confirms this.]]

** [[UltraTerrestrials Lunarians]] are this to normal humans, since they immigrated to the moon in antiquity to become TheAgeless. "[[BossSubtitles Brain of the Moon]]" Eirin Yagokoro is [[TheOlderImmortal old even by their standards]] and says of herself that [[TimeAbyss her true age]], divided by 500, would mathematically be equivalent to zero. She's actually older than some of the deities mentioned in the Shinto creation myth, so she's at least 25 ''million'' years old.

** Yuuka Kazami is another strongly implied "old even by their standards" example as well. She looks like a young middle-aged woman at most but is regarded as [[WorldsStrongestWoman one of the most powerful youkai in the setting]] [[StrongerWithAge by sheer virtue of the amount of time she's been around.]] When the local judge of the dead confronts various characters (among them the above-mentioned Tewi) about the sins that may end up getting them sent to {{Hell}}, she determines that Yuuka's sin is that she has lived too long. This puts Yuuka in a unique category as the only other characters who've gotten in problem with the CelestialBureaucracy for living too long are human {{Hermit Guru}}s who've been around for more than 10 times their natural life expectancy.
