To progress 2.5 you need to complete CT and Ifrit/Titan/Garuda

Either both should be msq or none.

Also msq roulette always been last instances of 2.0

If msq means mandatory for the main quest then you can add sastasha, tam tara, copperbell, ifrit, totorak, haukke, Brayflox, Stone vigil, Garuda, king mog, leviathan, Shiva, keeper of the lake, snowcloak, ramuh, etc.. They are all part of msq and are required to progress.
