How to progress in t9 this late in the expac without paying for it?

[Zohar_Lahar]

Some people just seem to want it easy. They go into a couple of PFs and deduce "zomgs dis so hard y only bads q dis nao" and quit there, implying it can\\'t be done. I still see a lot of parties for T9 and know a lot of ppl want to do it. It\\'s all about the effort of learning the fight yourself and finding other people willing to see the same effort. All of these threads about T5 or T9 alwaya fall down to the same category; not willing to handle one or both of these points.

Part of the problem is none of the Main Scenario or Crystal Tower fights had such a steep learning curve or abundance of instant death mechanics. And unlike Extreme primals where there's some advance warning, the game doesn't really give anyone reason to think Coil would be harder until they slam into a brick wall at T5/T9.
