^I think there might even be some value in having Dias reborn (and redeemed) as a PC in IX. Somehow the dragons could revive him and Aleph (in a desperate attempt to avoid their fates) so that Dias wields the Moonlight and Aleph the Dark Slayer in the final throw down.
I reckon that could even take place in the Coliseum of Melanat like in KF2. KF2 being the best of the original games it seems fitting to end things with a nod to it. It also seems like Dias should get to be a PC, and there is only one game left.
After the fight Dias could keep traveling the world until the Moonlight runs out of light, and end up in the Eastern kingdom, dying there buried with the Moonlight. His adventures traveling with the Moonlight could be games to be made on the side.
Maybe Aleph could hookup with Milia or something. Doesn't seem like he'd need to die in the Coliseum, and that would humanize Milia in the end. Maybe suggesting that even she is becoming devoid of magical qualities along with the rest of the world.
Still I think ultimately Milia would stay close to the surviving vampires. Would be a shame to just die off as human, though I can see why people would argue for that (wanna be a real girl) ending... but personally its more interesting to buck the cliche if you ask me. Maybe Aleph clings to biggest piece of the Dark Slayer connected to the hilt, and becomes a leader among the vampires.
I intend to draw up outlines here in a bit. 9 games seems like enough to me. Better to work on making them better (until the end of time) than going the Final Fantasy route of diminishing returns.
