Not that it's the first time Mashima has placed inconsistency on his story. But at least, Mashima did something better than just having powerless mages somehow being able to destroy FACE. And there's also the discussed, the two deceased Dragon were just brought back temporarily through Grandine's Milky Way.

As for Acnologia, if you see the sequence of the pages, Acnologia only falled after FACE was activated, we can have the benefit of doubt that Acnologia, being a former human, was affected by FACE.
