Don't be surprised if the game acts as through you've defeated the Coil storyline regardless of whether or not you actually did; World of Warcraft does the same because it's easier and more sensible not to make the effects of raids only available to the raiders able to complete it and it's very rare that completing a raid will make a difference in how people treat your character.
Since there were i think 3 or 4 others in the "Hydaelyn's Crystal" CS at level 15 I'm assuming that there's the usual 4-5 WoLs that usually appear in final fantasy. So it wouldn't be out of the question that One of the Warriors was Canonically responsible for stopping Bahamut, While another was felling the EX primals, while a Third Was exploring Crystal Tower, all while Deprplander was clearing the Main Story's events. Thus giving use a little more flexibility with the plot.
