Why do fish desynth into finesand? Where did all the sashimi go?

And Lastly , Zenos (Huge Surprise)
This one is going to be a long set up:

And finally, Last February when asked about the likelihood of Zenos’ return, we were told three things (in the Liveletter and Famitsu)
1. He stopped breathing and his heart stopped breathing, right?
2. The laws of Ultima Thule are different which would effect his return even if he survived
3. Watch the scene again, go back and see how you feel

Since then we’ve learned (Through MSQ, Omicron quests, etc.) the following
1. Cutting his head almost clear off didn’t stop him last time
2. The laws of Ultima Thule seem geared towards creating new life, specifically the life captured in the very egg/star that Zenos is captured in (Life that can travel to the Source, as was confirmed in the Omicron quest (At least their inorganic items can) )
3. As of 6.4 the WoL, unbid by any other character, seemed to have a scene where they did exactly that.

To that end, the question becomes Based on the above, what precedent set by in game established lore/rules would imply that Zenos is permanently dead? And even if so, is this the last we’ll see of him in the story? (Hades died in ShB and was in a third of EW)

The Lambs of Dalamud were a significant part of our history. As they worshipped the moon itself, why did we never see a Dalamud primal? I would love to see it!

[Arteliex]

During the Euphrosyne content, we see Menphina summon her loyal hound, Dalamud.

We learned through these quests that the gods can change over time, slowly, based on the perception of people.

With this in mind, and with how powerful of an event the Calamity was, shouldn't we have seen at least some tinges of red on Dalamud, owing to the now popular depiction of him as the red moon, or has there not been enough time to warrant such a change?

In the Pandaemonium raids, Themis states he is a representative of 'an organization that works directly with the Convocation'. What organization was this and what was their purpose?

Hello, Kate~!

Can we please give Daidukul a more prominent role in the story along with his own minion and voice actor?

He's a dearly beloved NPC adored by many and he's just as important as the other Steppe NPCs. Please consider it ;w;

[Cleretic]

One of the Lunar Primals we fought in the Shadowbringers patches was Lunar Odin. But Odin's not actually a primal summoned in the same way as everyone else, since he was made by Eureka. How did the Telophoroi summon a Lunar Odin?

[Fox_k]

Was Azys Lla meant to be a twisted version of Elpis, or visa versa? Did Fandaniel/Hermes design Azys Lla and if he did, did he do so with Elpis in mind?

[ranrannerson]

Are the souls in the P9 fight that Kokytos employs intended to be anyone specific or are they just archetypes? I'm curious since the vibe between the EN and JPN voice direction seems different.

[Lyth]

With regards to the previous question about Anabaseios: The Ninth Circle (Savage), could you tell us the voice acting credits for the souls in the fight in addition to their identities?
