So... 3.0 Pre-orders...

You are assuming there will BE a 2.5. Where is this evidence?

From the live letter (courtesy GamerEscape (http://gamerescape.com/2014/10/19/fi...cer-live-blog/) :

Matt: Will we see a turn that requires an alliance fight Bahamut?
Yoshi P: That’s a really good idea but getting 24 people together to do something that difficult… On the other hand we have something coming up in 2.5 with the Crystal Tower… and in the expansion there will be more alliance based raids. That’s all I can say.

They've said repeatedly that 2.5 will happen.

I asked for proof, you provided proof.

Also, 2.5 will likely have the 2.X Main story Final battle. So not having a primal battle is a given so they can focus on the final battle against ( someone :P). So yes Shiva being the last primal of 2.X is right on cue for 2.5's final battle to wrap up the base story of FFXIV ARR.

Maybe it'll be the thing that roared at end of 2.0 story?
