Ew, why would anyone want to blow through Coil with zero challenge? You solo/duo/trio that crap or... IDK, you're not invited to my birthday party or something!
OK, but seriously, September 27th? Hmm, 4ish weeks... This might be the reasoning I needed to finally finish Final Coil, assuming the Wondrous Tails log isn't going to give me plenty of reason to jump back in there frequently (I spy T4 and T6 on the bottom line). Been a while since we last tried to duo Bahamut... Doubt the line is going to be massively important though, sounds like it'll just be a nod to the fact that Coil happened, not any form of continuation... Grow a pair SE! Lock the new MSQ behind Final Coil and give Alisaie Phoenix-Egi! Like everyones said, you can steam roll it these days, if ticking a box is more important than enjoying content... One off nods are better than nothing I guess, but it still doesn't make for a particularly good narrative IMO... "I have acknowledged that that was a thing that happened. Now we must never speak of it again and it cannot impact the plot in the slightest from here on...", that's kinda what killed Mass Effect for me...
Phoenix, Crystal Tower... Heck, Dr. Whothinxs Allthoughts and the Nullstone... All seem like very interesting points that could be pulled into the story proper... Instead they're relegated off to side stories and aren't even tied together (Nullstone + Crystal Tower = much enjoyment), because God forbid that people have to actually play the game! Doesn't even need to be MSQ stuff... Tales of the Dragonsong War was an optional set of side quests to tie up Heavensward nicely... Just give me that for stuff like Binding Coil and Crystal Tower... We can tell Tiamat that we've put down Nidhoggs shade, but not Bahamuts? Mehhhhhh... I want to slap Cid in the face with Puss in Boots so we can crack open Crystal Tower and go Nullstone Cloud of Dankness' face for an actual satisfying ending to that saga...
Guess I'll just hold out hope for Deep Dungeons 2, which is apparently definitely a thing and Palace of the Dead is ending on Floor 200... Gonna need a new location for that, and Eureka still strikes me as the absolute prime candidate... If they can finish up our little tragedy with Edda in Palace of the Dead, they can damn well do something similar for Crystal Tower and Deep Dungeons 2: The Forbidden Land, Eureka!
