Ultima skill when?

When are we going to use the most iconic skill in the series, ultima?

Would it be fair to place it on white or black mage?

Both. Lets get some Twin Magic up in this !@#%!.

Uh, never? There are story reasons as to why it will forever be unattainable.

It was part of the ARR main scenario as to why it is now lost forever (it was contained within the Heart of Sabik, the Ultima Weapon's power core - Lahabrea cast it to reduce the Praetorium into a pile of molten slag as part of his gambit to shatter Hydaelyn's barrier around the player's character - "bringing the Hammer of Darkness to bear on the Shield of Light", as he termed it. When we destroyed the Ultima Weapon, the Heart of Sabik was also destroyed as it went critical taking the spell, and the Ultima Weapon too, with it).

I suppose as the Ascians are the only ones who know how to cast it, and given the revelations in SHB, there may be a chance of learning it eventually,

but as it stands I think that's highly unlikely (you only have to look at FFXI which had plenty of 'traditional' FF spells, and yet Ultima has never appeared in that game).

someone even said that ...

the missing 14th member of the convocation if going off the titles of the others might even be the one with the title of ultima and there are people that believe we are the missing 14th

My hope of getting ultima has been rekindled! Heh, maybe the devs can make limit break 4 and have ultima as the limit break

What does it matter if it's called foul, ultima, xenoglossy or despair.

i doubt we will ever see it as a spell

it is a Emote(even if its a bit different) from the recent Figure
but there is chance since Bahamut for SMN and there is a emote

This would be true except that

we've fought a creature that very likely is where Ultima came from and Ultima itself as used by Ultima Weapon was likely an imitation of the Ultima used by the High Seraph. A being considered to be a living primal. So it makes sense that Ultima as a "primal" can impart its secrets at least onto Summoner, and if Ultima Weapon could have an artificial Ultima created, then the players could probably copy a real Ultima now.

However...

we do not know if Ultima was an actual primal or an entity similar to Midgarsormr/Omega as it is talked about as it was not of this world and descended upon the world, this would make it unsummonable and we already killed it.
