Me thinks that there were originally seven, but only 4 being there (Orca, DS, Von Leon, and Akhryum) seems to me like they were killed off, and the Black Mage only revived/reclaimed the ones that mattered most to him. Furthermore, this may be me, but I think the jMS Silent Brigade dude (Bastille) is at least an agent of Black Mage.
It'd be interesting to see if any more Goetics make their way into the story, as I felt Goetia got squashed due to the Vatican's hammer of anti-anything-not-blaspheming-Jesus.
All in all, if they DO release another General, it'd have to tie in somehow with the outside world. Von Leon's in El Nath, Orca's in Edelstein, we have no idea where Akhyrum could be sent to (or maybe he's like Nagini - Black Mage keeps him close because of his value), and as for the other areas Black Mage's followers have not been sent: Ludibrium, Leafre, and Victoria Island are prime and kicking.
If anything though, I feel they need to make a giant story quest line leading up to the Black Mage expedition for those of us who ACTUALLY LIKE TO QUEST! The grinders have their space, and we questers have ours.
