Fernehalwes specifically addressed that Ququruka was an exception, not the rule.
By some combination of slowing his breathing, meditation, black magic, fasting, and reaching some spiritual "zen" Ququruka was able to extend his life well beyond what is normally capable by the Races of Man and was able to outlive a 100-year gaol sentence in the Oubliette in Ul'dah. However, he uses the last of his strength to free Barbatos and dies shortly thereafter.
Makes me a bit curious as to whether this was always in place or they just changed things to fit with the 2.0 game? Guess I never put as much faith in him since sometimes when he answers questions it almost seems like he is just trying to do exactly that after 1.0 was a failure and they needed to rebuild the world but use the base of it, particularly since he doesn't know the name of the Lala, nor does he accurately quote his age in the quest (nor is there any evidence that many of the NPC weren't just reused in a way, and no one thought to make them older even though 5 years had passed?). I guess for now we will have to take his word on it!
