The State of Coils

[Nezerius]

The roar at the end of 2.0 is mainly just to inform players about the 8-man raid. They did the same with 3.0 and Alexander, 4.0 and Omega.

If I remember correctly, the first time dialogue gets changed when a player has gone through the Coil story, is when Alisaie gets reintroduced somewhere in the 3.x MSQ. With Yoshi-P mentioning about the change in dialogue, although I can't remember if there's an ingame warning for it as well.

(Also it should be easy to get some 80s to run a fresh 50 through the Coil story, considering each first time clear will give them 100 poetics)

Actually the first time is if you have completed the ARR dragoon job quests and meet Estinien again in 2.55? when he acknowledges you as a fellow Azure dragoon, and subsequent nods as such by him and others throughout HW until 3.3

In regards to the OP, I can understand where they are coming from. The Raids are set in post-ARR, and a new player should be able to complete the story of such during that 2.1-2.55 storyline w/o having to rely on PF unsync carries. Unfortunately, the devs are disinclined go back to old content if there is a viable way to get it done (unsync in this case) and would always rather work on things that are new and exciting. Part of me hopes that one day they get a bunch of devs into a 'old content upkeep' team filled with say the newer members to as a way test their coding skills at first, and then as a way to cycle members so that they aren't over worked on new stuff

While the interactions between Estinien and a player who has completed the DRG are definitely cool (I would know, I mained a DRG during ARR/HW), it's also completely unrelated to the Coil story, which this thread (and my reply) is about.

Ah, I misread your comment. My apologies.
