That one's already been mentioned when you go through the story to open up Frontlines, it's the very reason why that the Frontlines is happening, to keep that one from being used like Ultima was. I agree it's more likely, but then if it does wake up then where's the impetus for Frontlines?

Ultima (If this was even a possibility) has been pushed onto the back-burner, simply due to the development cycle.

As more new content comes in, the older-content gets ignored, it's likely that Ultima will take a back-seat as they already added "The Minstrel's Ballad: Ultima's Bane", I doubt they'll add in another further.

The more time they spend on adjusting older fights, the less-time they can spend creating newer content, it's difficult to balance the two.

I really do expect an Omega weapon fight to cap off 2.5, and yeah I can see it 'calling' on all the primals in the process.

I'd much rather Ultima Weapon 2.5 use the exact same primals, just deeper mechanics when using them.

Throwing in some Chirada/Suparna and tornados, Gaols and Searing Wind together in creative ways would make for one ridiculous boss fight.

Honestly I hope Omega doesn't re-use the same mechanics as all the other primals, and I really disliked Ultima because of that. I kinda feel like it cheapened a boss that could have been epic, instead it was just a little bit of everything but master of none. Bit of an anti-climax considering what Ultima previously represented in the FF franchise.

As for the idea of this fight, NO PLEASE GOD NO I HAD ENOUGH TROUBLE WITH THE MINSTREL'S BALLAD

I was seriously about to say this same thing. Lore wouldn't matter if the minstrel was telling the story. He just makes it up so we sound more amazing.

I'd prefer to see a new Garlean dungeon similar in scale to Praetorium and made an end game raid.

Made me a happy kitty when 2.4 started to re-introduce Garleans as a threat again.
