As I said in a post above in reply to someone else, Coil 1 was really fun because you went in, it had a mini-boss, a decent amount of trash, and a boss that had fun mechanics that weren't completely unforgiving. It felt like a mini-raid dungeon and that was some of the most fun I've had in FFXIV raiding.
Similar to now, the vast majority of people did not beat coil in it's release patch because it (mainly just the last couple of floors) was too hard. People then just didn't end up bothering to do it. Then complain that there is story behind the series. This is first coil too.
