Add Ishgard as a nation to join.

Would be nice and would add another roster to the PVP.

That way its not 2 on 1 because I noticed they do that in there.

No thanks, PvP is messy enough with 3 factions as is and this would only make that worse and extend queue times at the same time. Now if they were to implement a fourth nation and make it so it's 2 nations vs another 2 (so the standard two teams, but keeping the nation "lore" or whatever), I'd be all for it.

Besides, the storyline will not even allow it, given the fact until Heavensward you can't even access it (and the storyline gives really extraordinary circumstances for even being able to go there). Ishgard also doesn't have a Grand Company and doesn't rely on adventurers like the other city states do (it has a professional army of knights and DRGs), which is another nail in that coffin I'm afraid.

Bad idea since players need pass 2.55 storyline to even get access to Ishgard.

Who is saying let them become ishgard when you begin? Saying you can change nations when you are able to get to ishgard.

Not really, its actually fun but I notice fractions like to gang up on one nation to get a win, that is weak and I think putting another fraction into the mix would prevent that or it could be 3 vs 1 that would be bad though I would take my chances.

After you reach in the MSQ the point where a GC get found. You can't join an Ishgard GC that don't exist yet. Access to the city is not enough for a requirement.

Again as I and Felis said Ishgard doesn't even have a Grand Company for this as they're not even part of the Eorzean Alliance (

okay, they do join the Alliance at the very end of the expansion, but they haven't formed a GC and probably never will, given the fact they don't even need one given the fact that they're the only city state with a standing army rather than relying on small militias, sellswords or adventurers which is the real reason for the existence of the Grand Companies).

Ishgrad also has their own internal and external problems to worry about than sending single-minded adventurers to participate in wargames squabbling over some stupid Allagan Mcguffins.

How would it not allow it? the gate has been there in dragon head but no access, as I told other poster who is saying the people who start can become a ishardian?

I say when you beat the content, then able to get to ishgard you have a option to, if they are allowing housing in ishgard later then it would be nice to have a grand company there also.

at least, not until the very end of the expansion

). They also have their own internal problems to worry about than sending single-minded adventurers to participate in wargames squabbling over some stupid Allagan Mcguffins.

that's what I am basically saying, add a grand company there after you are able to get access to ishgard you have a option to change.

why is that a issue? it would just be something else to do for players who have already done everything else.
