You seem to be ignoring the biggest reason to do this: You woudn't have to be in Port Jeuno to see and make shouts- it would MASSIVELY aid decongestion of the area, as even with abyssea NPCs in Ru'lude and the chocobo citcuit and every city, everyone is in port jeuno so they can more easily find people doing something they want to do.
