To reply to your question, past trends gives us an insight on how future things might play out, which I have effectively used to to predict that the Nexus upgrade is done though "spritbinding", after looking through the lore and reasoning of the past Zodiac questline. I made that prediction on 25th Aug.

As we can see, the relic reborn quest in 1.22 was a huge monster compared to what new players have to do at 2.0. I strongly believe that the same will go for 3.0. There is absolutely no point, nor make any sense to enforce any new player in 3.0 to go through the entire original Zodiac questline which is designed to be a time sink for 2.X series.

I foresee that the whole Zodiac thing will be scraped in 3.0 - to be replaced with a more condensed questline to directly obtain the final form of the weapon, which Yoshida claimed that will bear a different name and a new design.

Given the level of predictability of Yoshida's team, I won't be surprised that you will start out and do some delivery boy job again to find some old junk, grind for a little to obtain some historic text, go kill some monsters, defeat a couple of the new expansions' after-the-new-level-cap bosses and tada you get that relic, just like how 1.22 and 2.0 asks you to.
