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

While true in a way, you also need to consider what's the development time vs use ratio

story mode : very little dev time (all you ultimately have to do is to reduce some values and/or cut out some attacks to make it safe for anyone) for a content everyone will experiment (100% use) but probably only once.

new content : huge dev time (obviously. This is what it takes to do great things) for a content ewer and fewer will experiment with the current trend (next tier locked behind older one's completion).

Obviously, actual numbers would be great to determine wether or not it's worth the time it would take (Yoshida himself said he wanted everyone to experiment the story, so it's not really a "poor use of time" per say btw). But in any case it will never be "a waste" as long as it doesn't fail horribly in it's purpose (noone ever doing Coil story mode for whatever reason).

just so you don't think I avoided the argument :

The "content is only for a small sliver " argument does NOT go both ways in this instance.

It does with the current way of dealing with the raids. Every new tier locks behind those who can't beat the previous one, leaving ultimately noone but the very few super raiders. Let's hope the new raid (after TCoB) won't require a T13 kill.

It won't require the final Coil of Bahamut to be completed. If I wasn't lazy, I'd go find the quote that says they won't gate 3.0 content behind completing 2.x content (raid-wise).

nvm and thx for the info
