Every week you had to give the reward selection the same answer, "Free Luzaf's Soul." Each week you were met with indifference by the Dark Divinity, but on the 14th week it finally relents. You swear away your own soul in place of Luzaf's, and are granted a unique title.

Compared to 3 and a half months of reward forfeiture, giving up one week would be nothing. It's already nothing for a lot of players who don't need the rewards from the tower. Redoing the raids would be no different than the reward scenario for the original Crystal Tower side quest involving Noah with the Oneiromantic(Dream Discovery) Pearls.
Yes it would be nothing which begs the question on why we would need it in the first place? How would that truly make it more interesting? For me it does not, I want the whole story or at least most of the questions answered when it ends.
