With the upcoming expansion of the Binding Coil of Bahamut, will you be reducing the difficulty of previous Turns? In particular; Turn 5.

[carraway]

What ilvl will the items from Binding Coil of Bahamut 2 be?

Will turn 6 be tuned to be more difficult than turn 5, or will its difficulty overlap with turn 5 (or earlier turns)?

How will the outstanding issues with instance server latency be addressed in terms of Binding Coil of Bahamut?

[Nekodar]

Will there be any reduction in the restrictions currently in place for the existing turns?
Such as being able to do some turns several times in a week?

[Leoheart]

Will full completion of the previous turns be required in order to enter the new additions of binding coil?

I feel this shouldn't need to be asked, but I'm curious nonetheless.

[Doki]

How long do you anticipate it will take before a group clears the new turns of Coil?

[AdvancedWind]

A player with T6 unlocked can completely skip T1-5 or will it be mandatory to run T1-5 every week before trying T6?

IF T5 is made easier, is there any possibility for players who still want to do the "old" T5 be able to do so (for example, if you get the usual echo buff, can you turn it off, etc) ? If the answer to the previous question is "yes", will there be any advantages (or disavantages) for choosing either version of the fight?

[AmandaHuggenkiss]

Post Turn 10, can we expect hard modes of Turns 1-5?

[NeoAmon]

How is the drop system going to work in Coil 2? Any changes or will it be the same as Coil 1?

Currently I think the RNG algorithm used in Coil 1 could see major improvement as the same DRG & MNK items repeating week after week is not fun for anyone.

Will there be any change in the type of lockout Turns 1-5? Such as a Item lock vs Content or Is there any plan to shorten the lock out to 72 hours versus 168? Same Questions for the coming content.
