JP is only four story chapters ahead, with Yda+Papalymo, Zack+Ignis, General Leo, and Ace+Machina being the characters getting focus in the future.

They tend to introduce new villains in the story chapters as opposed through events (The Zilart siblings kinda came out of the blue that way), so I assume that when Zenos does decide to show up it'll probably be as a chapter boss. I'm curious to see how he'd be handled here because the world of Dissidia would be like a dream come true for him but he didn't actually get any story scenes in NT to shed any light on how he actually feels about the matter.
