So I've been thinking about Espers and all the things that happened in the thousands of years that weren't covered in the games. If Rune Walsh is the fifth generation Lutz, then how were the other Lutzes distributed throughout the years?
Rolf & Co. meet (a) Lutz in 1284 and we learn about his cryogenic sleep. Whether or not it's the same person who fought alongside Alis Landale has always been rather a heated debate, but either way, let's assume that PSII Lutz is the first generation. The Compendium says that that Lutz dies in 1299 (whether or not some things in the Compendium should be considered canon can also be argued, but let's keep it simple for now and assume that is accurate).
By 2284, Rune is Lutz. We don't really know how old he is, or how long he has been Lutz by that point. If the first Lutz died in 1299, that leaves us 985 years with only four other espers having the Lutz title. So are we to assume that the other Lutzes did the same thing as the first one and only woke every 10 years or so, despite there being no mention of it in PSIV? Could Rune have been frozen and thawed out before the game took place and decided to just leave that little tidbit out while revealing nearly everything else about being Lutz? Do Espers have longer average lifespans than Palmans/humans?
Math makes my brain hurt.
