Where can I find Yoshi P saying this?

”If you would like to talk about the lore in more detail and have a deeper understanding of the world behind the main scenario quests to be found in Endwalker, I'd be glad if you play through the Coils of Bahamut, Alexander, and Omega raid series if you haven't already," suggests Yoshida. "These are not mandatory quests, but they are raids that are deeply rooted in the mysteries around FFXIV's world."

Well, that should please some people at least with them not being mandatory. CT is a bit of a sore spot for some for whatever reason. It is neither long, difficult nor grindy.

well i mean if you understand Shadowbringers you would already understand how CT/Alex/Omega come together to make it happen. just a refresher i suppose. we don't really know how we get to the moon after all.

CT has been made mandatory because its events need to happen for continuity, not just for story relevance.

Alexander and Omega were also very important to the lore of Shadowbringers, but in a way that the plot can proceed whether the events have happened (yet) or not. They didn't recommend replaying them in the lead-up to Shadowbringers like they did for CT, but that was a sensible move as it would have spoiled some of the mystery of what was going on, whereas CT gives you information you should pick up on immediately.

Anyway, it's great that they're recommending the Binding Coil but it makes me hope, even more than usual, that they might finally produce a more accessible story version of the raid series.

We have a LOT of optional content that is done in its own time bubble with characters acting like they had their memories of us or later events wiped. They made CT mandatory so that people could feel any emotional impact for later ShB msq moments.

If you don't want to run the raids yourself to get the lore, there are a lot of content creators that have posted the relevant cutscenes on YouTube. All Dialog from the quests that would fill in any relevant info not covered in the cutscenes can be found on Gamerescape by looking up the individual quests.

My character isn't the warrior of light. She's just a dragoon... a dragoon who doesn't possess the echo. This is one of those places where the story and MMORPG pieces of the game simply cannot coexist - we can't all be the WOL; not when acknowledging the thousands of other players sharing this world with us. I therefore happily surrender any claim to the mantle of 'hero' - his/her journey is not my own.

It's because when the Thunder god raids were new and even now people would abuse the system by taking off gear and you'd ONLY get the CT raids. It got so bad people just stopped unlocking CT so it would push them into the new raids. But Square fucked that by making CT required. So thats where some of the salt comes from.
