Patch trailers ALWAYS come 2 weeks before the patch so I would expect to see it next week.

Judging by your post though you haven't actually seen any of the trailers we've already had for 2.5.

This just means we're one step closer towards the Gold Saucer and Triple Triad being in the game.

It is most likely due to 2.5 Main Scenario being split into a 2 part update.

We are only getting the first half of 2.5 Main Scenario on Jan 20th and the second half of the Main Scenario in Battle of Ishgard.

I'm actually surprised and slightly sad that it isn't sooner. Reason being is, now correct me if I'm wrong, but either after London FF or Las Vegas FF it was said that the Odin fight would be released for all to enjoy pretty much right after Tokyo FF concluded. Watching the most recent live letter, what I assume to be the Odin fight was lumped in with the 2.5 material as Urth's Fount? I am a patient person, but I was really looking forward to something to do over the holidays. :p

Um, isn't this the first content patch following the Tokyo FF? That's how I'd define "right after the Tokyo FF," unless you were expecting a surprise, unannounced content patch in the middle of nowhere, which they've only done for seasonal, temporary events?

Speaking of which, there are two seasonal, temporary events to do over the holidays. There was the Starlight Celebration, and now there's Heavensturn.

Wow, it's coming sooner than I expected. This is a pleasant surprise.

"Odin battle will be added right after the fanfest is over."

Likely a mistranslation.

So wait, I'm at work and can't get into reddit (but I can on this site for some reason, don't tell anyone ;P ) 2.5 is confirmed to be released end of January? and there's not going to be any other patches like 2.75 or 2.8 before 3.0?

We know there will be a 2.51 but there won't be a 2.6. By then the expansion, 3.0, will be here.
