Just a quick question for the OP (since I've only gone through the 1st instance of the First Coil) -- was there a 'savage'-like mode for Coil of Bahamut? Was there a different (or no) story presented in the non-savage mode? Of course, if there was only one mode the question is moot.

I don't raid, so haven't experienced the 'previous' tier, just wanted to know if it was so different.
