If those were the only 2 Archons no wonder why resealing Bahamut didn't work.... speaking of which where the hell was Urianger during all of this? Personally I still like to think as the other 4 as Archons since they still have the neck tattoos although there was no indication of this. It could just be that they're members of the Circle of Knowing, but the fact their tats turned white during the prayers and I feel they were more than that (especially with their performance during "Future's Perfect").

Even if that is the case that'd be 6 known Archons, perhaps the other 6 might have been needed to complete the ritual?
