If you also notice, after the Crystal Company formed, they are stationed in all the City-states.

Also with the Ascians taking control of Ishgard's pope ( Teaser at the end of 2.3) It seems like (even in instanced form) may go into Ishgard to stop the pope/Ascians from doing, whatever it is they are trying to do.

Also, the story seems to be about to hit it's climax before the end of ARR story ( which will most likely open the gates to Ishgard). So 2.4 Shiva/ third coil etc.

2.5 Omega weapon gets Rez, Omega defeat bahamut (or even consume bahamut like Ultima did with Garuda/Titan/Ifrit.), and then we will have to fight Omega ( which I hope they make it difficult. If that is the final final battle, I want it to be epic, harder the EX, just as hard as coilish.

2.4- September/October
2.5- December ( they always try to give us a patch before christmas) could be January too.

March 2015= Expansion.

That is my prediction.
