Coil 5 changes needed

No....If we keep making the game easier it will just get harder and harder to find decent enough players to even beat Ex primals. Just making it easy so people can see the story does have negative effects on the game. All those people who pushed and did eventually beat it got better at the game. They learned their class or improved their damage or whatever it may be. The moment you give people a super easy way to consume the content is the moment you stop giving people incentives to improve. It's not just as simple as letting some people see the story. It's actively dumbing down the game as a whole and decreasing the skill of the population as a whole. There are at least a dozen people in my FC alone that would never have beaten T5 and beyond and wouldn't be where they are today if your story mode existed. They normally aren't those kinds of players that want to tackle harder content, but eventually they were convinced to do so by the story and gear. Story mode literally would have had a negative effect on my FC.

Also, if such a thing did exist it shouldn't give you anything at all but the cutscenes. No achievements even for mapping. No loot. No titles. No anything.

Fair enough. I think the problem is longevity. Is XIV lasts as long as XI did then odds are that people who will want to do coil will in an extreme minoty who will have to face longer (longer that DPS in 2.4's launch) queues. Om the other hand people are already so burned by Hunts, Housing and general being the Final Fantasy Fanbase that I think the playerbase here is as polarized as Democrats and Republicans (or in a closer analogy, SJWs and GamerGate)

Then again This begs the question on whether or not Coil Shoudn't be in the DF at all.

That reminds me, did SE actualy say something about implimenting a Stroy mode for Coil or is what we have now it?

Or they paid 1,000,000 gil to a run seller, which in pug groups, is actually more common than honest clears now.
