This.

A lot of people are incorrectly assuming that the ending of the current story arc is in the second part (2.55) yet ALL of the major battle content, including the 'mystery' trial which is presumably the final boss of the 2.x story arc, is in the initial 2.5 drop. 2.5 will conclude the 2.x story. The 2.55 content is the introduction to the expansion; essentially the pre-expansion patch that most MMOs have.
