I just want to return to the T1-12 as close as possible and feel atleast a bit like a special snowflake!

I know we did't have mounts and titles (except savage), but we won't get exclusive story too, so I am improvising here.
Okay, so it sounds like what you liked about raiding was the whole theme and atmosphere around it, and not so much the loot. The sense you were searching for answers, and the sense of discovery and revelation as you cleared each turn.

That's fair. Alexander lacks that same magic in comparison, which isn't helped by its comparatively weak story and antagonists (Goblins). I mean, the raid is centered around Alexander but he's not so much the main threat but rather the ones that's trying to activate him. Compared to Coil where the threat was Bahamut himself, alongside the thralls he sent against you (Nael, Louisoix) and the Allagan constructs designed to prevent you reaching him.
