I'd say don't really expect much in the way of story development until they either announce when the subscription fees will start again, or until after they've already been reinstated.
That and there is no point in coming out with story and story-related battles is the battle system and core systems are not in place. So I'd expect them to work on that after the summer updates which should have take care of those.

On a side note, the ifrit battle is most likely story-related and is announced for this summer, so I'd say it's a start and would expect more content and story to be released faster after those big core updates.
