Gridania Vs. Ishagard. Who won?

I don't think even Square Enix knows the answer to that question. But rest assured, they're looking into it.

Cheers to you Azury for making a thread actually talking about stuff in the game. :) Sorry to say I can't answer your question either - didn't even know there had been many wars between those two nations. Just wanted to chime in a positive post seeing how this topic unfairly got bashed to bits.

It's really not "unfair" how people reacted to feeling like the world is soulless. I personally assumed that Gridania took the heavier losses in the battle given the "tragic" results; probably losing some sort of leader as well as heavy casualties.

Why can't someone just give me a straight up answer instead of trying to troll the post ><

There is no answer Azury. Nobody knows, and SE is too busy breaking things that don't need fixing to bother with the things people actually care about.

Not unfair no, they are entitled to their opinion, of course. But isn't it a bit unneccesary to come in and be sarcastic when someone asks an honest question?

i think gridania won and ishgard is still under remodeling from the beating they took thats why you cant go inside.

I don't know. There are so many trolls on both sides on this forum.

If anything I would say Gridania won. During some of the Conjurer mission they said raids of soldiers have been lost before just because the soldier carelessly walked into the forest without being aware the forest is alive. As for that battle that you specifically mentioned I have not heard anything.

There are Ishgard knights. they ride chocobos, they are hardcore, and they come with some of the coolest music in the game. >__> They also have -Dragoons-
Forgive me for trying to enjoy this game.

The Rank 30/36 class quest for Conjour deals with them as well. I can't remember what was covered in those quests in full detail, but since you said ARC has quests that deal with them, then perhaps each Grid class does, and maybe they make a complete picture.

I don't know the answer to your question, but you've made me want to rank up ARC now. :)

Not exactly what you are looking for. But since you seem to (like myself) enjoy these sort of things

However, the fate of the land would soon change. Not fifteen years past, a new threat appeared without warning from the east. Metal-clad warriors brandishing weapons that spewed streams of fire, fleets of behemoth airships belching oily smoke that would block out the sun for days at a time... A resistance was amassed, but to little avail, and it was not long before Ala Mhigo, once considered the most powerful of the remaining six Eorzean city-states, had fallen to the mighty Garlean Empire.

As the empire’s dreadnaughts continued their march of terror across the blood-soaked fields of the north, the remaining nations put aside their differences and clandestinely joined hands to form a loose alliance to ensure they not meet the same fate, should the invaders turn their eyes southward.

Fortunately, the invasion never came, and just as quickly as it had arrived, the empire was gone again. However, echoes of their grim message rang clear in the hearts of Eorzea’s people—its effect on them, profound and irreversible. The realm would never be the same.

I think that it was the Garleans that were going for Gridania and the Ishgardians intercepted them with the Dragons. That's why the Garlean Invasion never made it to the southern cities.
