It's about time to add Coil story mode, isn't it ?

People taking my last post seriously. XD

Out of curiosity, would anyone be interested in helping me make "idiot-proof" guides for FFXIV battles? Back in FFXI, I made some for CoP missions for my linkshell, but a lot of my people would share them with outsiders just because it made more sense than anything else, according to even the people outside. They didn't spread out wide, but I think I can get a link to them for reference.

The only help I'd need is to somehow be able to do the fight, or teach someone who knows the fight what my expectations are.

And before anyone says a damn thing about videos, screw those things. Half the time something that someone's talking about isn't even on screen. My guide is pictures.

T9's a bitch. A challenge. A long term goal with 7 of my friends.
I wouldn't want it any other way.

Please. Just practice. And find a static.
That's what makes this game awesome.

My seven other friends are either in a static already, or don't want to help me out if the option's there.

My only concern with the concept of a story-mode version of Coil is that it would give (some) people less of an incentive to do the real version of Coil.

or don't want to help me out if the option's there.

I think you might want to look into getting new friends.

Not to burst your bubble

There are already a bucket load of guides for Turns 1-9, a lot of them explained very simply, using pictures, videos, infograms breaking down phases or mechanics into an easy to understand way.


Sorry to say but people are way ahead of you. (You just have to sift through all the terrible low-quality guides to find it)

For example Titan HM:



Or Titan Ex:

...wouldn't that just be "thousand upon thousand?" "Thousands" implies more than one. And if we put one thousand on one thousand, then that just makes two thousand.

You honestly believe only 2000 people have defeated The Binding Coil of Bahamut? The same amount who have cleared the Second Coil of Bahamut?

Considering the development of the game is split quite strongly between casual/hardcore content (intentionally so), your point doesn't make that much sense.

You have the right to ask for it, but regardless of whether you pay for it or not, if you can't actually complete the content due to your own time/ability/varying restrictions that's not their problem.



They've stated they're adding in a way to clear it with fewer people in the future, you'll simply have to wait till then or try harder.



*There is no proof to suggest that this claim is true or false, and is baseless conjecture without solid fact proving one way or another, silly point to make.

It doesn't matter to me, all I really care about is that people are asking for something that will help them enjoy the game that for one reason or another they aren't able to.
It's just story, they aren't askin for the best loot or any loot at all.
So what if a lot of us are fortunate enough to have pro friends to clear content and time enough to practice. That doesn't make their wants any less important.

People can talk numbers and back up claims and provide facts but if a good amount of people will enjoy something that they can make, it's not wasted time.

But whatever, it's no skin off my back. I just think they should be able to enjoy the game too. If they can't enjoy it too why stay right? Some people here might not care but I'm sure the devs do

The figure of people defeating Second Coil is around 2000.

I specifically quoted your bit for Second Coil, not both.


As for there being other guides, that's nice, but have they worked for me? Nope.

And for making new friends...well, let's just say I can be abrasive at first.

But the content of my post was referring to The Binding Coil of Bahamut...

Context is important as to not have strawmans.

I don't see anything wrong with a story-mode Coil as long as there are still reasons to do the non-story mode (similar to story mode Garuda vs hard/extreme Garuda).

[IveraIvalice]

They already arent doing it because they can't.

Someone else here said awhile ago how it would make players bad by not learning the real way to do it or something like that. But it really doesn't because they won't be playing with the pros anyway.

Keeping it the way it is doesn't make good players by making them go through coil, those people just aren't doing it.
