We don't need an historical analogue. Eorzea is an amalgam of themes, times and cultures. You can't just pick a place and a time and draw conclusive paralels. The most accurate you could go, I believe, is saying that Eorzea's Japan when Christianity arrived there. You have some cultural analogies, but nothing else on , say, the way of health care. I mean, while the Dutch and Portuguese had gunpowder and probably very fancy ships, they didn't have self-powered robots. And Japan clearly did not have airships!
Eorzea's has a medieval aesthetic. But nothing else.
Oh, and to answer one of the questions on the OP: one of my character's is in his 60s.
