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

[Zohar_Lahar]

Really? people still want an easier t5? it was face roll with 5 percent echo and i90 its up to like 20 or so now and everyone is wearing 110 minimum. All i can say is damn... just damn

Then why do many wipe repeatedly at divebombs and Vote Abandon? What you say does not match what I have observed.

both casual and hardcore people pay the same $15 every month
if your $15 can be spent on making final coil, why cant the casual people's $15 be spent on making easier coil??

[Anneliese]

They pay the $15 a month and get equal access to the game. How they play the game is their own choice.

Going by that logic, anyone that pays for a gym membership should automatically become buff/fit regardless of how hard they work.

I really don't think the argument of "this would take development time away from other content" is a valid one.

First of all, Turns 1-4 could essentially be left the same for a story mode. T5 wouldn't even be difficult to turn into a story mode fight:

Change fire from a death-wall to a regular wall.
Twisters/Dreads don't 1-shot, instead just deal a lot of damage.
Conflags deal much less damage.
Snakes die faster/don't apply vulnerability to players.

T5 with even just the removal of instant-death mechanics would be nearly impossible to wipe regardless of skill.

Making a 1st coil story mode wouldn't take anywhere near as much time/money as making an entire new raid like Alexander.

I'm personally not entirely sure how people are still stuck on T5 unless they just aren't trying it. I just don't see any real reason why a story mode version of it shouldn't exist just to allow very casual players to experience the storyline outside of Youtube.

They're gonna have a normal and hard mode raid system for Heavensward anyway. And I'm assuming the normal mode will be easy enough for people to be passable as the "story mode" this thread is wanting.

From what I recall they said the normal mode will be at about the bcob/scob level of nerfs with echo. While the hard mode will be between unnerfed bcob/scob and savage(so harder than current raids out of the box).

Its simply as you say... had someone in a linkshell going I dont have T5 kill. I asked why she admitted after a bit only tried twice. Told her to try more and 3 days later when we talked she had her T5 kill with pugs ^^

I like this idea. I've always wanted a story mode coil. Being a Non-raider, by the time I get around to tying any new Coils its old and the gear is worthless. Just being able to to see the story and some of the fights would be cool. This mode wouldnt give out titles or gear. I'd also like to see a solo mode coil in the future. Kinda like how R.E. has Ada Wong missions in the background. This mode would give out 1 of kind gear. Anything to break up the boring coil stuff.

Story mode will be a simplar way to access the Coil Storyline once Coil becomes replaced by Alexander. Considering Coil Story is a very important plot point in FF14, explain what happened at the end of an era and why Bahamut is not in the MSQ, I won't be surprised if Story Mode is added once Alexander becomes the new Endgame Raid or when the 4.0 Endgame Raid takes over.
