Speculation for 2.X end.

My suspicions on why 2.4 will be the last patch before expansion pack:

• Patch 2.5 has never been announced or mentioned, but 2.4 and 3.0 has. We knew about 2.1-2.4 since Fall '13
• Syrcus Tower has almost all of the remaining bosses in Crystal Tower.
• Expansion pack details will be revealed this fall (either Fan fest or TGS)
• 2.3 and 2.4 are already prepping us for new races, locations and classes.

Be VERY careful about using the word "final" when it comes to content like CT and other things before an expansion is up for sale.
Square Enix is well-known, and notorious, for selling basically empty discs and not finishing content before the next expansions are sold. They started it with FF XI's "Wings of the Goddess" expansion which took many years until the included main story was finally delivered, they tried it again with XIV 1.0, and I bet it will be part of the future of XIV as well. Expansions from Square Enix usually mean you pay money for a client upgrade and the repeated entry fee for being able to continue your monthly subscription.

Only thing we are really missing from CT is the Cloud of Darkness which I think they confirmed before CT came out. So if there isnt a 2.5, maybe CT and BCoB will both get a update in 2.4.

Sure? To me it feels like there's a lot more to come before it can be called a tower.
Don't forget that, before today's patch 2.3, the tower was not even entered yet. The Labyrinth of the Ancients is only the entrance hall.
But well, SE was always good for some WTF moments :-D

The Syrcus Tower looks to be the climb to the very top of the tower itself, with the fight against Zande at the very top.
In FF III after Zande is defeated the entrance to the World of Darkness is opened. Thats why Im thinking this is gonna end soon.

There's also Eureka to take into consideration.

And from the outside, the tower looks like it has more than just 4 floors. Well, I guess the elevator is a hell of a ride then.

Completely forgot about Eureka, looks like we may be going there as part of the Syrcus Tower since enemies like Amon and Scylla are appearing as bosses and they appeared in Eureka in FFIII.

Cant wait to see what the new high end raid in 3.0 will bring...also pumped for those new AF models. Mabye sky raids...

Also, judging by Syrcus Tower's ending CS we will only have 1 more addition to it being the World of Darkness.
