[Spoiler] T13 Final Boss

Having caught Coil 3, cutscene 3 on youtube in all it's pre-rendered glory now, I can't believe SE invested so much time and money in a cutscene that the majority of players will never get to in game. I imagine it will get taken down before too long.

I would't be surprised if "one" of the 3.0 end-game raid pre-requisites (for story purposes) is to complete binding coil of bahamut. At that point - it will be easy for everyone to wipe the floor with Bahamut because everyone will likely be level 60 and decked in like item level 140-150 gear. Of course alternatively they could always level cap this making it forever a challenge (they would need to implement incentive for people to go back after 3.0 is released which would not be easy).

Yoshi said the coil would not be required for any content in 3.0.

Gotcha. Well assuming all current level 50 content will be level capped at level 50 - I guess that would mean that we basically currently have the best possible equipment available (for the most part) that we will ever have to tackle coil (assuming no echo). As anything above item level 130 / 135 will likely require level 51-60.

Why it and future Highest LVL Raid content should not involve a story so important to the game.

The true events of the Calamity aka end of an Era in the history of Eorzea. This is a major plot for new players starting in ARR and 1.0 players more so.

Haven't they been talking about wanting to implement Coil story mode at some point?

They sure did (thus, being significantly easier for newbies).
It's still a ways before they implement something like that though, especially since the Final Coil is still fresh...
