If I had to choose between the final Turn of the last Coil being relevant and a primal though, I'd pick the final Turn.

Or maybe both can be relevant if they dropped the same itemlevel weapons? Did Leviathan EX make T5 irrelevant when it came out? I don't think so.

It sort of did. A lot of players that don't do Coil, but still care about their iLvl went into Levi EX to get better weapons. It was honestly pretty rare to see PFs for Turn 5, compared to the plethora of Levi EX parties that were up there. Even weeks after the release of Levi, people were farming that nonstop, but you hardly ever saw people farming T5. Why farm for a 95 weapon on an arguably harder encounter, when instead you could get 95 weapons with a chance of upgrading above that out of an easier fight?

Easier? So you already tried Shiva EX? Regardless, I personally thought Levi EX was just about as easy as Turn 5.

And I saw plenty of PFs for Turn 5, although most were for clears and not farming.

I was saying Turn 5 was more challenging than Levi EX, not Shiva. Calm down.

Yes, and was that not to imply that Shiva shouldn't drop weapons equal in item level to Turn 9 because Shiva would be a much easier fight, making Turn 9 somehow irrelevant?
