It was one of the topics discussed at fanfest, I'm sure one of the threads here or on reddit discusses it

I don't think so.

Devs have been talking about 2.5 even before 2.4 came out, Gold Saucer was moved to "the second part of 2.5" according to one of the recent live letters.

It means the main story wont focus that much on primals, not that there will be no new primals.

I don't think so.

New mini-expansions seem to come out every 3 months or so, so 2.5 will hit either in late December or right at the beginning of January, giving us enough time to prepare for the expansion to come.

I think you mean late January/ early February. They've said Heavensward (3.0) will be in Spring so that's plenty of time. 2.5 might actually sit a bit longer than 3 months before 3.0 since 'Spring' is dev speak for 'very nearly the end of Spring'.

I'm pretty sure there was a mention about how we wouldn't see Yugiri's face in 2.4, but maybe in 2.5. Because of that I'd guess we are getting one, or at least it's planned. It'd be the last major update before 3.0 though.

IMO, next primals for 2.5 would be either Omega or Odin. Odin's trail has been shown during fan fests, while Omega is part of the 2.X plot.
I must have missed the part where they were talking about Zodiark ... was it really mentioned in-game?

Two or three main scenario cutscenes show the ascians talking about their "true god" Zodiark.

Please no, only if it's a solo dungeon or it has no cutscenes, the current prae/cm already caused enough heat due to the long added minutes of cutscenes.

I'm placing bets on 2.5's story focusing on either Omega Weapon or Midgardsormr (The latter since they mentioned it quite a few times after defeating Shiva in 2.4's story, surely there's a reason for that).

Seeing as how 2.5 is the last patch before the expansion, I reckon we will focus more on finishing the current storylines. I think we might not even see a primal battle at all, instead we will fight the current Ascians. Since Zodiark is a known esper in the FF universe, he might be the next primal battle, but I think he will be the final boss of a new dungeon/raid and not a trial battle.
