I've wondered this myself.
Surprised that they didn't use him on XVI nor 7R.
He last contributed to SoP and XV.
He was interviewed for We Are Vana'diel not long ago https://we-are-vanadiel.finalfantasyxi.com/post/?id=847
Also posts on Twitter occasionally.
I guess he's just chilling until SE needs him. It's possible he's involved in XVII or the IX Remakw secretly.
