Despite that though....
You know who got confirmed dead in EE1? Gaius van Baelsar.

The Encyclopedias are only written to the best of an Eorzean scholar's knowledge.
True, though I find it a lot less likely he'll come back. We see a body for him, and unlike the Praetorium, Ala Mhigo didn't explode to leave us with a reason for a body not to be found. I'm pretty sure he's legit dead.
