That they plan to add more turns in Coil (hence endgame character progression) in 2.2 sometime in the middle next year. So as an FC even if u level now.. till 2.1 comes out u r probably already onto coils and would not need to go to crystal tower, again from an progression standpoint.

So 2.1 give many things to DO which is great
-Moogle fight seems to be like ifrit,garuda,titan now - just add another 1 Boss fight with maybe armor this time?
-Hard Mode Dungeon are probably 2 level Dungeons (16-49) which they upgraded to level 50
-Pharos Sirius will be probably like AK, becausse the game is lacking "endgame" progess Dungeon, atm u can only go AK for Myth - so thats what u will get there aswell i highly assume.
-Crystal Tower, DF content with ilvl80 - so yes if u hit lvl 50 endgame on Nov/Dez u can now progress through DF further to ilvl80 which is good for the majority
-housing will be fun i guess
-wolves den gives us 4 and 8 man pvp between legions
-treasure hunting seem to be - go the area XYZ and find the treasure
-Hard Mode Boss Battles ???? Thought the extreme Mode Primal Battles - but maybe this again like ifirt, garuda, titan (hard) at the moment or simply a re-listing of a feauture
-DF Bonus "loot" if u choose the job which is less represented at the time beeing - also good, maybe more tanks will sign up at any given time

So all in all yes very good. BUT im still speaking about endgame raiding (character ilvl progression) and thats sadly sheduled for 2.2 next year.

8man Coils ilvl90 - Mythtomestones ilvl90 // 2.0
24man Tower ilvl 80 // 2.1
4man Dungeon Amdapors Keep ilvl 60 // 2.0 ( maybe those 2 new hardmode ones in 2.1 aswell)
4man Dungeon Wanders Palace ilvl55 // 2.0 (maybe sirius in 2.1 aswell)
lvl1-49 ilvl 1-50 // 2.0

Who knows, maybe the xtrememode primal battles will give us ilvl100 armor and wpns.. so maybe the chracater progression can continue in 2.1 - i for myself hope that atleast

all the part linked to the story are not told here.
other point, if you do bahamut why do crystal tower? for the challenge maybe?
if your goal is simply to be uber and with the best equipement... well no mmorpg will never please you. the fact to have 2 different raid, means too two different equipement.
and one more time the data mining of month ago about the ilevel of CTC is not a proof in the beta from one month to another the game was changing a lot...

ps: by the way don't expect an ilevel progression even in the 2.2... we are still stuck at 50 and the max ilevel is 40 level over it... it's already a lot!
