I don't understand the purpose of this thread.
The Asari never had a race threatening choice in ME trilogy only 4 races did, the Geth, Krogan, Quarians and the Rachni. So exactly how do people think or fear that the Asari wont be back?
I think the question is more 'will they be in the game' rather than will they still exist in the Universe. The Dev's could easily just not show them in the game or give them such a minor role that they might as well not be in it.

If the asari are not integral to the story being made then they should not be added just for fan service, let the story shape what content is explored and given to the player. In "service to the brand" can be detrimental to a game, content and mechanics should be added not because they were in previous iterations of the series but because they improve the experience of the player.

I think the Asari are among the least likely to end up on the cutting room floor. They are one of the fan favorites, they founded the Citadel Council, and they only come in one gender which means less work in designing them than it does some other species.
If any species are in danger of not appearing in ME:Next, I would think it would be minor species like the Drell or Vorcha.

Bloodborne and Persona 5 figured that much out.
The entire race was either created for or by 12 year old boys, no thanks... If they're still in ME4 fine, they're part of the universe after all but i won't shed any tears if they gone or downplayed/altered somehow.
The Vorcha can also get spaced unless they stop talking like a comical relief villain from a saturday morning cartoon.

I'm not a 12 year old boy! Nor do I think that the person who created them was, unless child labour laws are different in Canada! But otherwise a good point!!
I don't really care about asari one way or another, but if quarians don't come back because of you robot-hugging shitbirds my jimmies will be severly rustled.
I wish I had this gif handy in the heyday of ME3 discussion
Sadly, they will be back.
Do you see a bridge?You know what to do.

I see all of the past races still staying in the game (maybe less Batarians as they were the first race hit by the Reapers and were devastated from the attacks). There's no reason not to just leave out a race unless you're exclusively on a human world that features a spec ops N7 doing stuff on a human world. I know there are people who say they disliked a race and they shouldn't be in the next game but what kind of reason is that? I dislike the Quarians, they're boring IMO but that doesn't mean they should be left out. Each race has their own culture just like countries do in real life, some people dislike other cultures, is that a good reason to say "well they shouldn't exist because I just don't like them."? no, not really. I see people say the Asari shouldn't be in the next game because all they are is sex toys, lol what? That's your opinion sure, but they're more than that. They're the main body of the council, they have more influence than any other each (sure their looks help but they're also very intelligent and have experienced quite a bit with their long life span). They also have a feared military unit called Asari Commandos AKA Huntresses. I could go on and on about what else the Asari are about but this should be enough to those who say the Asari are worthless and are only all about looks.

The asari have a feared military with commando's? Haha. Look how well that worked out when they couldn't deal with the ardat yakshi, but yet Shepard didn't have too much of a problem with them
In ME1 that stupid line from Benezia "Have you seen an asari commando unit before? Few humans have." What a joke.
My femshep would say to Benezia just before she dies, "Have you ever seen an human commando before? Few asari have. And I just killed your so-called commandos."

I agree, but I hope no race gets the rachni treatment. Something like: "the Krogan are eventually going to be cured anyway, the Quarians reappeared as some of their lost scounting ships returned, the Geth are rebuilt, there is another rachni egg" would be a bit cheap, I think. I wiped out the quarians for example, and I wouldn't be thrilled if they are still returning in that worldstate. Always assuming, of course, that they make a sequel.

Everyone in the ME universe is incompetent by that logic. Turians, Geth, Humans, Salarians, Krogan Battlemasters...You know, all those other feared guys we easily beat the crap out of over the course of the game?

Then change the wording to the asari have commandos leaving out the feared part
if you've played the game there's quite a few references about the huntresses lol. There's one reference to where a Krogan unit couldn't handle a Commando unit, then there's also Aria (not a squad but a member of one from her past) who has been mention as Wrex's toughest opponent in his life and Aria has stories where she wrecked havoc on Omega. Then there's also the lone Asari on the citadel who is mental but was a Commando who murdered half her converted squad and did hat she had to in order to survive including killing a innocent injured girl that would've given her position away. Honestly I think your reference to the commando is pretty weak lol. I never said "ALL" of them were feared, they are feared in general which you don't see. Next is the matter of Thessia. None of the home worlds would stand a chance vs the reapers anyways. were they losing when Shepard arrived? Sure but so is everyone else. the Turians were slowly losing ground on the moon near Palavan when you arrived, it's even in some of the messages if you read them. The Batarians were just obliterated in the first wave of the Reapers when the game started and the Vorcha were isolated from help for the most part and the Volus replied upon Turian help which was very limited. There's all kind of elite squads who were struggling in the game. The N7 program was shutdown in the war and the Turian had their Cabals (their own special elite unit that had biotics) were stretched thin and were their just to try and help them from losing ground. So yea, we can mention the Asari Commandos in the game that died easily if that's how you view them. A thing to note is Shepard vs Benezia's commando's is Shepard is the best soldier in the galaxy as many would say. And for the Asari that died at the Asari temple well, you don't know if the Asari put up a fight or not to begin with, I believe you just assume they rolled over and died. We don't know if they gave the Reapers hell that were in their to begin with or if they just got overwhelmed from the start. If you notice they got the bomb to its target, the only thing they failed was blowing it up, they got the charges set and everything. I view it as they wanted to get out alive instead and tried to fight their way out instead of blowing the place up with the last Commando standing. If you're still not convinced that commando's are a threat I can probably look up a few more that are mentioned, these are just the one's I remember. So for now i'll end it with yes, some Commando units were weak, but some are well known. The one defending Thessia happened to have been by itself for days is the one you run into first thing when you land on Thessia, just to let you know one squad, fighting overwhelming enemy forces for days.
And of course they're going to have it to where we (Shepard) will beat all the big bad guys that are mentioned in the game as elite units. That's how most games go to begin with. just remember that most considered shepard the best soldier in the galaxy which is why he/she was replied upon by many in the first place because he/she could get the job done.

It's a lore versus gameplay situation prevalent in a lot of games.
DA lore tells you that abominations and various types of demons wipe out entire villages, including military units - but the PC & crew mop floors with them.
So, for story reasons, I accept what the lore tells me. Gameplay is separate.
Though admittedly, with addition of MP, ME kinda shoots itself in the foot there. Anybody who has seen what a properly played asari(any of them) can do would think that you don't need an entire platoon... one soldier is enough to wipe the Reaper scourge clean off Thessia 
You do have a point though. I mean, if the asari would really be as dangerous as the lore portrays them, the game would have ended on Noveria.
Funnily enough, I remember Benezia's fight being one tough fight... and I know I'm not the only one to think so. Crazy how that works...
