I highly doubt we're going to get another non-4 lords trial. We might, they could always surprise me, but what we have with Tsuku matches so far with HW, where Nidhogg was the final MSQ trial, halfway through post 3.0, and the rest of it was the Warring Triad. I do agree Amaterasu would be nice - she is the third to Susano-o & Tsukuyomi, as you say (what I wouldn't give to see primals for Izanagi and Izanami!) but that puts us at 8 trials at the very least since there's no way they'd make Kohryu, the "big bad" that was held by the Four Lords, a personal trial or a dungeon boss. (Now that I think about it, since we succeeded with Genbu, Byakko, and Suzaku, it's quite possible that Seiryu will be a "no-go" and not even come down to a fight, which would be why we had to fight Kohryu, else we would have succeeded in taming their ara-mitama but failed in the final mission, which would be a bummer. Plus, it would get Seiryu "out of the way".)

They've also said they're "done" with Doma in the MSQ (although it will remain in the form of Hien & Yugiri, ofc, just not be focused on it.) I think it would be very odd to have Amaterasu as a primal when we're dealing with Gyr Abania, plus I can't really imagine how she would fit in with the current predicament the scions are in.

I'd be happy to be surprised, I'm a massive geek when it comes down to eastern mythology, but I really can't see it fitting in.
