The Omega Weapon Arms Race -SPOILERS-

[DoubleT]

my timetable comes from the lips of The Yoshida.

Are you aware that Yoshi did an interview this week? In which, not only did he announce the october letter to delve into the expansion plans, but he also confirmed that 2.4 will close out Coil, an 2.5 will close out CT, and everything else inbetween that and expansion will finish up our current main story. So yes, there will in fact be a 2.5, and most likely more than that.

I don't see why we don't just destroy Omega while it sits collecting dust, rather than wait for a villain to activate it and cause us all a headache. Other than the fact that it would result in no story, of course.

They should at least come up with some solid reason why that can't be done, to make "letting things play out" make sense.

Not the first time something like this had happened *cough*BravelyDefault*cough*

Isn't the characters stressing that it's contested territory the excuse? Politics and beurocracy is keeping them from taking action

Of course I know, I'm the first one to have posted about it here... I'm aware that The Yoshida did an interview 6 days ago whence the info I have given you came. I believe it more likely that the main scenario will kick it into high gear for the last patch rather than Dengeki getting what The Man Himself said wrong. Nowhere in the article is a patch 2.5 mentioned. At all. Except for in speculation in the comments. He implies that there is little chance of significant content beyond what's already been announced unless they have to delay the expansion. It's in there, go read it. I expect either several more trials than just Shiva or perhaps the return of some 8 man story mode dungeon action. Basically, a much more intense and hands-on main scenario experience than we have gotten since the base game was released. Wouldn't that be nice?
