Though, in my opinion, they should first work on making Binding Coils MSQ, because that has a lot of important story bits and ties up loose ends in regards to what happened with Bahamut during the calamity. It also shows you where the hell Alisae went during the whole of ARR!

True! I ran them unsynced with my FC mates just for the story, because no one was running them when I started in Stormblood. lol probably a large chunk of why Alisaie is one of my favorite characters too.

I’m sure it’ll probably just be some sort of extra conversation with Ryne, unless they’re going to have Ryne give a synopsis of the events of the raid to players who didn’t run it, which seems unlikely…

I pulled a friend through them when he finished ARR, because if you finished Binding Coils before Heavensward, you got special dialogue with Alisaie when she finally shows up in HW. He was grateful I did this, because outside of introducing him to Alisaie before HW, it tied up a ton of questions he had in regards to the Calamity, Bahamut, and Louiswax. (I probably spelt that wrong.) And now, even he asks why Binding Coils aren't mandatory like CT is.

Another thing that irks me with the current story is that, to my knowledge they have not ONCE made reference back to the Shadows of Mhach raids, despite those raids dealing a ton with not just voidsent, but HIGH LEVEL voidsent (Including a Voidsent QUEEN!) and a ship that doubles as a massive Voidsent prison. Gee...I wonder what we could do with a massive Voidsent prison...hmmm, hmmm...(Even if the Void Ark crashed, we could still salvage stuff from it to help with our current situation. But it's far too late to link back to it now...)
