This is what i was fearing most... we had an "exclusive Final Boss" back in 1.0 that "nobody who play 2.0 will have a chance to fight against"... Lies again. Well, i guess "rivenroad" was the only exclusive part -.-

nothing says that you will fight him...
As far as I've understood it, reading some 1.xx experiences, he died and all that's left is an aetheric remnant lost in the Coil... I highly doubt we'll fight some ghost in the Coil. It doesn't fit the theme of that part at least
Pretty much, but I think we all knew it would happen. So I'm not surprised. Lore wise Nael van Darnus did die though, it's just his aether was absorbed and now he's able to be some kind of aetherial projection similar to A-Towa-Cant in the White Mage storyline. But like Kuwagami said it doesn't necessarily mean we fight him, we'll have to wait and see once the top endgame FCs get to this then we'll know (probably by next week lol).
Given that white raven armor fragment is a part, and that Yoshi said he expects very few to finish relic upgrades before 2.25, I think it's safe to assume you need to clear all of the new Coil stuff for new relic completion.
Parts can be seen to be used in recipes for furnishings...and I suspect that's all they do. I doubt that they'll include the white raven armor fragment in a process to make ilvl110 weapons when coil 9 drops ilvl115 weapons.
