I would like to suggest creating a separate, easier "Normal Mode" for the Binding Coil of Bahamut raid series, similar to how raids are structured in later expansions.
Currently, the Coils contain crucial story elements regarding the Seventh Umbral Calamity and the twins, but the high difficulty forces most players to run it "Unsynced" at max level. This completely ruins the narrative pacing and dramatic tension of these iconic boss fights.
My proposal is to:
Keep the original raids exactly as they are: Preserve the current version of the Binding Coil of Bahamut as a "Savage" or "Min FATE" level challenge for players who want the original, authentic difficulty.
Release separate "Normal" versions: Create a tuned-down, story-accessible version of these fights so they can be safely added to the Normal Raid Roulette.
This would preserve the historical challenge for veterans while finally allowing new players to organically experience one of the best storylines in Final Fantasy XIV through the Duty Finder.
