Dissidia takes place before AC. That's why Cloud is officially 21 in it and not 23. So Sephiroth is 30 at most.[/quote]
So Cloud's being ganked can take place at any time after Dec 9 (start of game, since I don't think anyone was pulled from before their game) and Cloud's subsequent birthday, which leaves a few months after the game for this to happen when Cloud would still be 21. That's assuming again that there's no de-aging going on.
And the reason I consider Garland to be old is because he uses the pronoun "Washi" which is a verbal clue in fictional works that the speaker is old and is helpful in this case because his physical appearance makes no indication of age.
On the other hand, he's been specifically abusing the time loop, and this might be an indication that he's old in mind, regardless of how old his physical body is.

Nope, it would be Jecht's age in FFX. Auron was 25 when they left to go find Sin and FFX happens ten years later, and appropiately, Auron is 35. I estimated that Jecht was about the same age as Auron when they went on their pilgrimage which would also put him in his late thirties in FFX.

I figured he was the oldest of that group, though not that much older (Maxing out at 30), but yeah, later 30s as of FF10.
Now, I'm still quite curious as to when all the rest are from.
WoL... I'll amend myself and say he's from before FF1 (though not necessarily from before his first adventure), Firi... No clue. Going by Mateus, it's before FFII's final arc.
Onion... no clue. Any time during his game is possible, though at the very end, in the world of the CoD seems likely.
Cecil must be from around the end of FFIV or shortly thereafter.
Butz, no clue.
Tina, I shall guess at prior to the WoR, while she's coming to terms with her Esperhood.
Cloud I mentioned
Squall is from the timestream after he defeats Ultimecia but before he winds up in the flowerfield.
Zidane is from while he and Kuja are wandering through Memoria, since Kuja has the power of Trance (assuming in battle techs have any meaning), but has not come to terms with his own morality like he does after his defeat.
Tidus and Jecht, any time after he joins the pilgrimage but before, I think, sin gets destroyed.
Shantotto... You got me.
Gabranth- outside 'sometime in game', I have no clue. I don't know enough about him in Dissidia yet.
