I have been waiting forever for this! Since my first time reacting to the Realm Reborn opening cinematic, I’ve had so many questions about what happened. Now we finally get to find out! We did this run unsync’d as I wanted to get Coils done before jumping in the Heavensward expansion, but we will definitely be doing this again sync’d for the challenge! Hope you enjoy!

Mom! I'm on TV!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I know you're only doing this for the story but you should've try this synced. You would probably have way more fun.
Finally the coils! Now that you've experienced a somewhat "raid" experience, some answers to your questions:
– These raids are much shorter than you saw in the Crystal Tower (named Alliance Raids). Square learned after these that people liked the experience of dropping into a boss (similar to a Trial) and began making changes to the raid format. You'll see through Heavensward's Raids that they definitely did that (only a few will have "pulls" and one raid is more "enemy wave fights" than boss fight.) But starting Stormblood raids, it's all single boss-fights.
– Coils is the only one that has 13 raids (everything else is 12). We can just blame First Coil, Turn 3 – the jump puzzle. 😂
– Also definitely keep in mind this is the only raid you should take unsynced. Every raid beyond these are totally do-able with level sync and feel much longer with actual mechanics. If you got together the right people, you could even take on the savage version!
I'll save the Coils story for you second part.
Ahww thank you for the shout out!! ^.^ It was great to do this together, especially after sooo many people mentioning how important it is for the lore. Looking forward to seeing your reaction hehe
If I remember right, there was an explanation why Nael was considered a 'he' before it was found it Nael is a she. I think in the Encyclopedia Eorzea it was mentioned that Nael (him) had returned gravely wounded to his siter who was a healer by Garlean standard and took his place in secret so that they would never know that the real legatus died from his injuries. Nobody knew she took his place because everyone related to her brother's death were executed under 'his' orders and that's how she got the White Raven name.
Finally got around to Coils. As good as it was, I am glad the devs evolved their raid formula as they did. The layout of the raid series in Heavensward is similar to Coils, but it changed to its current incarnation in Stormblood.
PTSD of when the Turns came out in its first release. As someone said below as you are doing them unsynched yoiu will just fly through them with no real challenge, but worth a try if you want to take the time.
Hevensward normal raid onward you dont need to do them unsync because the normal version is easy.
Have you seen this video? Someone on YouTube was kind enough to upload a 19-minute video from a DVD that was included with early physical copies of ARR. It goes into a lot of detail of what all was going down in the events that led up to the 7th Umbral Calamity, and it does not contain any spoilers for this content.

Thanks for the shout-out, I had a lot of fun! Looking forward to final coil reaction, especially T13!
Once you're done with Coils, maybe you could seek a video telling Nael's story. Since most of it took place before ARR, it's not really a spoiler, but it'll make more sence.
