Coil Story mode in development.

Reward for what? I wouldn't mind the story being the reward so much if it was something I could progress reliably on my own time or as a individual (main scenario, duty finder), but one of the biggest gates to clearing coil is finding 7 other individuals who can commit to progressing/clearing (or pay for a carry.) Especially if said story is important to connect the ties between 1.0 and 2.0. Again like I mentioned, telling people to youtube it is just sweeping it under the rug, you might as well tell players to stop paying for the game if youtube could cater to all their needs (and as a player, I don't want this, that means less "developmental" money going into the game for future content.) I personally leveled up my crafting classes for...their story. I was pleasantly surprised by how involved the CRP (my first 50) plot was with regards to the guildmaster and his relations with Garland. If I had just youtubed every other class quests, I wouldn't have spent part of my sub for this game, let alone putting effort to leveling the other classes.)

...plus it's just not the same when you don't see your personal character being a silent hero/foddler in the cut scene.

Wanting to experience the content is a different thing all together, but my stance still stands; if it doesn't change what I want to be able to experience (the current difficulty of SCoB), adding a story mode/lite version of coil does not impact my experience on the game, so why should I be bothered by other people being able to experience the story?
