Even the Convocation itself still has some whose status is unknown. Those spoken for, IIRC:

Azem - Its ya boi WoL
Loghrif - Gaia, on the first
Mitron - Dead (became Eden due to Ardbert)
Nabriales - Dead (WoL)
Igeyorhm - Dead (WoL)
Lahabrea (Unsundered) - Dead (Thordan)
Emet-Selch (Unsundered) - Dead (WoL)
Elidibus (Unsundered) - Dead (trapped by Exarch, sacrificed self)
Fandaniel - Dead (by own hand)
Emmerololth - Dead (via Students of Baldesion)
Pashtarot - Unknown, seen post ARR
Altima - Unknown, seen post ARR
Halmarut - Unknown
Deudalaphon - Unknown

Azem is technically us, Gaia is more like zenos human with ascian power. So knock those two off the list. The ones you mentioned all part of the convocation.. Then what seiori just said that Gaius has masks. So it is likely he took the remaining ones out. If someone knew how many masks gaius was carrying that would help.

I have 0 interest in exploring anything to do with the ascians once 6.5 is over-now is their time to shine but once Endwalker is done please give us new villains.

Cant agree more no more Ascian crap. Felt that was the purpose of getting rid of Zodiark as way of saying were done with them. No more of them bringing gods into against or causing trouble behind the scenes. Its time for them to be dead and gone. Its my opinion they are dead and will not make anymore appearances outside of Pan.

Agreed - even as an Ascian fan, I am tired now of their use as villains. We've seen their story via the ancients, so writing them in the position of two-bit villains just doesn't work and feels cheap - if they want to explore them more, do so by showing more of the ancients. Time for SE to do some of that "moving on" they keep having characters preach about, and that applies to what they do with the Scions as well.

People are getting lack of competition confused with success. Blizzard suffered from this misconception until they did not. Right now FF14 has a surprising lack of developer support for casual content. The end game is formulaic which makes it nice to not feel forced to play.

The current problem is time syncs at end game are becoming limited. They added a Collection tab and have done NOTHING with it in Endwalker, where are Island Sanctuaries?, new deep dungeon!??!?! Where are these things that are supposed to be time syncs for people who do not raid?

Noone and I mean noone can defend this current glamour system that keeps getting new mogs added each expansion with items we will never use. What is the point of farming glamour with a system that is so limited? You mean to tell me they have figured out how to do full blown photoshop quality graphics on a selfie but a wardrobe dresser that tracks items I pick up without this massively complicated process is just beyond their technical ability?

The simple truth is the JP community does not want it or consider it a priority so we will never see an improvement.
