Zenos is... [big fat spoily]

FFXI you fight Shinryu in a very similar area where Zenos is currently located.

It would be interesting if that was an introduction to a story arc for FFXI Abyssea expansion.

Zenos may still be alive.

With the time and dimension traveling, I kinda have a theory that Zenos is Shinryuu

He'd need a lot of aether, though and he's kinda in a place where there is none... also in FFXI's case, the Shinryu in that game is Promathia.
I genuinely think Zenos is dead dead. He got a satisfying fight and who's to say his Avatar didn't eat whatever of his soul/aether remained?

In the reaper quests we learn that your voidsent avatar can keep you alive OR possess/eat you. Given that Yoshi P said the avatar is "Zenos's new best friend" it may have kept him alive
