That being said I bet we will see additional Ascians come and go just like Nabriales. And come next expansion (assuming again we don't visit the North East) we will finish them all off in the 4.xx series as well as completely uncover the areas of Eorzea.

Then in 5.xx we go to a new continent.
Well I'd say the Ascians are more or less tied to the past of the whole planet, not just Eorzea. I think the only storyline when we'll be free of their machinations is going to be when we fly to the moon. Yoshida did mention once that he'd like to do it. I'm also sure we will get more Ascians. After all 1.0 only had Travanchet and a few grim reaper like Ascians. These new, masked types debuted in ARR, so that's 3 new Ascians. I don't have any of the cutscenes at hand to prove it, but FF wiki has the names of four more Ascians, one of which might very well be female. Meaning, we have a lot more of them to kill than just Lahabrea and Elidibus.
