I doubt we're going to visit every reflection, especially since they'd need to come up with reasons as to why we'd be limited to small areas of them. It worked for the First because 9/10 of it had been consumed by the Flood, all that was left was Norvrandt. We still have at least 2-3 continents on the Source we haven't explored too.

I also doubt a full rejoining would happen within the WoL's lifespan either, so it's likely a moot point. I suspect we're going to be spending at least one expansion dealing with the 13th in some capacity. I'd be surprised if by the time FFXIV reaches 20 years of age that they don't already have a new MMO in the works if they decide to make another one. Does FFXI still get expansion-like content updates?
