Just to be clear, I totally agree with you. There is content outside of coil. I choose to do it because it's fun. I chose to do relic because that too is fun. Both, I repeat, BOTH of those can be stressful, annoying, boring, tedious, etc. at times. I've played plenty of FF games before and have learned to expect and enjoy the boring ass grind. It's part of the game. It's not for everyone which is why there is other content in the game. Coil isn't the end all content. It just happens to be the hardest.
