Canonically, the WoL solos all those bosses. For gameplay purposes, they mention bringing in friends. Lyse even made a tongue-in-cheek comment about that during Stormblood.

I think G'raha Tia summoning other heroes across the rift to help us battle Hades is the first in-game instance I've seen where bringing in help is explicitly shown in a cutscene. Then of course, we do see the other Scions help us take him down at the end.

This is exactly why I was asking that question. If they are indeed canon, and by that I mean all the combat abilities we see from Godbert and Julyan actually count, then either one of them could unironically solo the entirety of the FFXIV universe with ease. They could not only solo Zenos, but could likely one-shot Lahabrea, Emet-Selch, and Elidibus. Any single primal would not be a problem at all for them. Alexander? Omega? They could shrug them off. Nidhogg could have been slain in seconds. Hell, send them to Bozja and the whole thing would be over in minutes.

I have no doubt the meetings and investigations took place, but some of those abilities were like...this is just for fun, right?
