The Roe that does squats still, and his elezen buddy are still kicking and specifically talk about being expected to take on Ifrit in the WoL absence dealing with other things as reasons for continuing their tough training schedule. Both have the Echo. The Sea Wolf Fem-roe Salfswys in waking sands talked about her awkwardness adjusting to having the Echo is also still there. Heck, the lore book even states clearly that she was also at Cartenau which could make her a plural WoL candidate. The point is plenty of Echo holders recruited by the Scions/Path of the Twelve/Circle of Knowing over the years are still alive and kicking. We are even attracting more, like Krile. While I personally think it is a long shot in the dark, we may even run into our old path companion again or hear some sort of nod to their fate in Stormblood. They were Ala Mhigan resistance, after all. Yar.
That's a bit of a mess.
In 1.0 the Echo (i.e., Hydaelyn's gift) was prevalent enough to warrant an entire group of people who benefited from it: That's where the Path of the Twelve came from! 1.x had a number of people who all were tapped by the Mothercrystal to share in the big events of the future.
Of course, those people would end up mostly being important in the story of the 1.x series, which ended with the Path of the Twelve joining the Circle of Knowing, which is attached to the Sharlayan teachings and Uncle Lou...
And we know people with the Echo are sought out by the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, which is basically the Circle of Knowing rebranded in 2.0
So yes, not everyone attached to the Legacy Tattoo is necessarily accounted for, but for all intents and purposes the people who were retrieved are fucking dead outside of the Warrior of Light who attended the 1.x story and are now the main character of ARR onward.
If I remember correctly, though, the people who are still around weren't there for the spoiler event: I thought everyone who existed prior gets caught up in the dramatic incident.
I'm happy to be wrong, but I was operating under the assumption that 2.0 neatly wraps up vast majority of the MSQ 1.x roleplayers.
I personally feel that characters like Slafswyn and such are the wrap up for the path companions. Having them be used as stand in references for them since it would be whacky to implement that whole each on is different to every 1.0 player. Still. One never knows. They could reach back and resurrect that old lingering Ala Mhigan resistance path companion thread. There was totally a "holy 1.0 plot threads, batman" moment with the most recent Starlight quest thing, which was a pleasant surprise. So one never knows, even if I do kinda doubt it. Yar.
