5.2 Ruby Weapon Trial!

[Fland]

With at least seven trials per expansion that award mounts, weapons, and other valuable primal drops along with the exclusion of Ultimate, I'd imagine we are getting Ruby, Emerald, Diamond, and Sapphire.

Based on previous two expansions, only three of the seven are from the chronicle of new era. The rest are MSQ trial.
So we'd probably only get ruby, emerald, and diamond in 5.2, 5.4 and 5.5.
We'll get another MSQ trial in 5.3.
Unless they decided to change the pattern that is.

We'll never know tbh. With Stormblood they didn't do a battle or trial against Amaterasu even though we had trials against Susano-o and Tsukiyomi. They could have taken that further and done Izanagi as well.

Yeah, sadly they didn't, one can hope only that SE grabs up these two missed trials somehow later eventually as Hildebrand Trial Fights when is journey somehow lets him return to SB regions where Amaterasu n Izanagi/Izanami could play a role in there.

Don't forget that we're also getting a super secret trial, along with the Ruby Weapon trial. Secret enough for them to not talk about it during part 2 of the patch 5.2 preview, similar to how they handled Tsukuyomi.

I'd say that already counts as a change in the pattern.
