Thoughts: will we ever get more warring triad weapons/items/items from HW in general?

I just recently started wondering about this after realizing how much time had passed since crafted Sephirot weapons were added and how far into Stormblood we already are. I remember reading on various forums about crafted Sophia weapons and Zurvan weapons also being added but I'm not sure if it was anything that devs had 100% confirmed for the future. The warring triad was probably my favorite set of primals and I was honestly a bit disappointed that they seemed to end up kinda... forgotten in time, almost?

I mean, now you can even get the Sephirot weapons as random drops from Heaven on High loot bags so it's starting to feel to me like they scrapped any ideas they may have had for the other primals. It is of course understandable considering that the devs are probably working on the next expansion and the nearing end of Stormblood. During Heavensward I was the most excited for crafted Sophia weapons since to me they were always the most aesthetically pleasing, but they never came!
Another thing besides the weapons that disappointed me a little bit was the fact that the three Heavensward primals didn't get minions, they only got the miniature statues and chocobo bardings, and Sephirot got some extra outdoor housing items. And so far every single Stormblood primal has had a minion (and chocobo barding too I think?) as well as some kind of housing item. The statues and bardings are great, don't get me wrong, but as an avid minion collector I would've loved to see minion versions of the HW primals. With the addition of craftable minions and weapons there would be a lot more use for the crafting items that they drop.

Tl;dr Anyone else still wanting to see more crafted Heavensward primal weapons/minions or other Heavensward (or even ARR) items or is it just me? :p

I’m hoping with the release of 4.4, Sophia weapons/minion will come, with Zurvan following soon after (4.5 maybe?). It would correspond to the release of their respective primals... though we’re still missing crafted Horde weapons as well.

I want the crafted Sophia weapons—so many of her weapons had a beautiful design, and I’m dying to have her as a minion. ;_;

Most of the development patterns are kind of predictable. Be patient and we'll get HW minions/crafted stuff soon enough. For example, ARR primal minions weren't released until midway through HW.

In all fairness, primal minions were a new thing back then. SB’s release had Susano and Lakshmi minions readily available at launch with their respective fights, along with the Wind-Up Bismarck (crashed the Baleen on the MB something fierce). Wind-up Ravana came out in the same patch as the Wind-Up Shinryu, if I recall correctly, and then the Byakko Cub came out with Byakko Ex in 4.2. Tsukuyomi didn’t get an in-game minion, but neither did Nidhogg (both are instead external DLC).

I’m hoping 4.4 releases the Warring Triad minions (and craftable weapons for Sophia and/or Zurvan...though we’ll probably see craftable Nidhogg weapons before either of those if we go by release), as I’ve been sitting on mats for Sophia and Zurvan minions for months (still need a Fiend Sap, because I’m certain that’s going to be the requirement for a Wind-up Sephirot). It is odd that Sephirot’s minion wasn’t released with is crafted weapons, but the Wind-up Bismarck and Wind-up Ravana weren’t released with their respective weapons either.

Strangely enough, there isn’t a Wind-up Thordan either—looking back at the HW primals.

I would love to see this as well. I would love to see a Thordan minion that had a bunch of little knights following him around.
