So during the MSQ... [Spoilers]
Emet-Selch reveals that his plan is to rejoin the shards to revive Zodiark at full strength and then sacrifice the remaining lives on the Source to bring back his kin that died to fuel the original summoning.
However, it's noted that the Ascians have "Made a void of the Thirteenth", meaning it cannot be rejoined. Would this not have had an effect on the plan, given that Zodiark can thus only be at best 12/13ths of his full strength?
Also, is the Thirteenth in a state similar to what the First would have been in had Minfilia not stopped the Flood of Light, only instead of being engulfed by Light, it is engulfed by Darkness? (Meaning the reason for the lack of the rejoining is no large unbalance on the Source happening simultaneously, as is hinted at for the First's rejoining being a combination of the Flood of Light on the first and the release of Black Rose on the Source)
Finally, as all the shards are linked (At least, to the Source), shouldn't the Thirteenth be having an effect on the Source's aether, much like how the First's situation was thinning the aether?
Or is the situation with the Thirteenth that it essentially doesn't exist as a shard any more? (Despite still housing a ton of Voidsent and having a link to the Source allowing for tears in the void to occur so that said Voidsent can travel to the Source)
