Stress, overwork, substance abuse maybe.

Auron is certainly an extreme example but I'd say most FF characters from 7 onward look a lot older than they're supposed to be. Some other notable ones...

Barret is also 35
Cid H is 32
Squall and Irvine are 17
Quistis and Seifer are 18
Lightning and Snow are 21

Man, I'm having deja vu because I could have sworn I saw this exact conversation a couple of days back somewhere

In fact for sure I did because people were debating in the comments how he aged after death so it must have been like on Facebook or something

Not a good enough explanation, since Maechen is like a thousand years old and still just looks like a regular old guy.

Yeah, if anything Auron he shouldn't have aged at all from how we see him in flashbacks, which is him at 25 btw.

oh yeah I forgot about that, since he's dead, he can just choose whatever appearance he wants, and he wanted to look like a grizzled badass father figure to Tidus, so that's what he chose

tbh Auron being only 35 is way more believable to me than Tidus and Yuna being only 17.

Honestly, the FF8 crew looks way less aged then "high schoolers" in live action. Barret looks completely fine, younger than Cid does for sure. And Lightning is actually a model outside the game for... some reason. Snow and Cid are way worse than any of those.

Well, at least Auron has an excuse for it unlike most of those guys:

Auron's age in the story kept changing during the design phase, to the point Character Designer Tetsuya Nomura ended up confused over what age he was and thus Auron ended up looking older than his 35 years would suggest. Scenario Writer Kazushige Nojima has said this probably happened because they were too used to having Nomura decide the characters' ages.

Nobody exists between the ages of 40 and 60 in jRPGs

Also, 60+ year olds are typically more spry than 35 year olds, who complains bout their old age and joints.

35, oji-san, aching back.

62, agile, lively.
