Ideally this next patch should be coming out late October at this point but that would make it 4.5 comparatively speaking.
7.0's official release date was July 2nd. Early Access started June 28th.

7.01 was when the Arcadion normal came out and that was July 16th.

7.05 which was the Savage patch came out on July 30th.

Roughly 4 months from July 2nd would be November 5th. If they go an extra week then it would be November 12th. So one of those will probably be 7.1, though the date of part 2 of the 7.1 LL will make it clearer which it will probably be. Or if they tell us in this upcoming LL when the next moogle event is coming, since that usually runs a month before the major patch.

Usually the first part is about a month and maybe some change before the patch and the second is about 2 weeks before the patch. But the LLs during TGS can skew the schedule sometimes since TGS doesn't always fall within those windows.
