@@Lordoftheapes79 I actually went into that in some detail back in the video where Archon Loaf was first introduced- I'm a cooking school teacher, so I took the time to break it all down :3
Fandaniel, by himself, added an incredible new dimension to the Ascian lore. Through him, we learn that the Unsundered (Lahabrea, Elidibus and Emet-Selch) were the ones that wanted the Rejoining. Without them to serve as a buffer, you have a bunch of unknown people gifted incredible power with nobody left to keep them in check. There is no way Fandaniel is the last of the sundered Ascians we'll meet. That said, who is to say they're all crazy and evil?
Captain Lyna's final message is suspiciously close to what Beq Lugg quoted of the Exarch's musings from earlier. Somebody was eavesdropping... The Rising Stones sequence, too, is beautiful in its simplicity. The Scions are very much a family, and this lets them take a moment to act like a proper family. Honesty, comfort, trust, a little good-natured teasing (From Urianger of all people! How much he's grown!), and a fond welcoming home to one they thought lost, as though he were never truly gone at all. I'm reminded of the last lines of Slayers. To paraphrase: "They say the road to dreams and adventure is endless." "Well, if it's not, there'll be trouble from me!"
For those who don't know, Urianger's bit with the cards, and him being an AST in general, is the devs making a callback to his JP voice actor, KENN, who got his big break voicing Jaiden Yuki in Yu-Gi-Oh! GX
I'm sure you guys have already figured it out by now, but just in case: black-masked Ascians are just underlings of no importance whatsoever. Cannon fodder, if you will. The only Ascians that actually matter are the red-masked ones. They are the former members of the Convocation of Fourteen, and if not for the Sundering, all of them would be equal. However, Lahabrea, Emet-Selch, and Elidibus were not Sundered, and so they were the leaders, who went out and found the fragmented souls of the former Convocation members and gifted them memories of their time on the Convocation (via those crystals you collected and gave to Elidibus after defeating him). As such, there are thirteen of them (as you, the player, are the sundered version of Azem, the fourteenth). Besides Lahabrea, Elidibus, and Emet-Selch, you met Nabriales (killed in 2.5), Igeyorhm (killed at the end of 3.0), and have heard mention of Loghrif and Mitron (the duo originally sent to the First, to cause the Flood of Light), and now met Fandaniel. There was actually another involved in Eureka apparently, though I've not gotten far enough in that storyline myself to have met her. That's only nine of them, though Gaius apparently killed a few off-screen, which may account for the rest.
Gaius is shown with 2 red masks on his belt so that leaves 2 more unaccounted for. There are also 3 Ascians involved in the unlocking of the hard mode trials of ARR but i can't remember for the life of me if they are all black masks or if one of them is red or how their involvement in that arc ends because i don't remember them dying. (I think they are all black masks working for Lahabrea)
I don't know if anyone else felt the same way I did during Alisae's conversation Alphinaud. I felt it was somewhat meta, like breaking the fourth wall a bit. It made me laugh more than normal. Same thing happened during the intro to Shadowbringers and our conversation with the merchant. His joke about not having a dark night for 100 years. I took that as not having a DRK, and behold which job is front and center of the title card?
There are 14 different masks & glyphs that identify the major Ascians (former seats of the Convocation of Fourteen) This ties back to the FFXII espers they are lifted from. Yes, please enjoy that the sundered Ascians, including the least weasel, that remain are free to follow their own designs without the Unsundered to rein them in.

That makes sense. We are the warrior of light. We can travel to diffrent realities to join fellow WoLs in dungeons and the like. Why wouldn't we have an identity item skill? Is just a passive one.
Well, the echo lets us see attacks before they happen, and see what the name of those attacks are. It's not out of the realm of possibility that it also gives us that kind of extrasight.

Basically, some studio/music publishing website somewhere owns a music cover of that song and attempted to claim the original as copyright infringement on the video. Disputing those claims can be a huge hassle, and take a lot of time (and money, in some cases). So it's easier to just get the video out and cut that bit. :/
