[SPOILERS] MSQ after 2.55?

Does anyone else kinda feel sad that with heavensward the story will most likely focus on Ishgard? Saving them from the king wyrms and who knows what kind of other things there will be.

Especially since the happenings from 2.55 in Ul'dah. It feels so unfinished and i'm just sad we're going to Ishgard now. I kind of hope the MSQ won't just take place in the new areas, but also finish off business back in Ul'dah. Don't get me wrong, i'll love to be able to explore new areas and the expansion in general, but i'd rather first save Raubahn and kick some lolorito ass.

We'll probably be back in Ul'dah and such in the expansion to clear our name and help those left behind (sooner rather than later). I think in this way they'll try to keep old zones and content semi-relevant so we don't just spend every minute in Ishgard. Otherwise new players might think "wow this game is empty" since they'll be stuck in old zones and won't be able to see a lot of the new stuff at first. That's just my guess, though.

Hopefully things will be solved in 3.0.

Otherwise, I can see the issue with Ul'dah to be cleaned in in future patches post 3.0?

Kinda like how 2.1-2.55 focused on primals and asciens with a bit of Garlemald and threw us a curve ball with the syndicate

I'm pretty sure the reason we're in Ishgard is to figure out the secret connection between the war in Ishgard and the events in Ul'dah. If nothing else, 2.55's cliffhanger has proven that they aren't completely unrelated.

Or at least, that's what I got out of it.

To be honest, I think the issues in Ul'dah need to stew for a bit while we resolve the Heavensward story and while 2.55 was riveting, I'd rather 3.0 be focused on Ishgard, Dravania, and Sharlayan (with little check ins to Ishgard) while the updates 3.1+ take us back to Ul'dah and expand/resolve that situation.

While i understand it might be a bit early in 3.0, it would at least lift some weight off my shoulders considering what happened back in Ul'dah. I just hope they won't take too long before we get some answers, cause i'm dying to know the truth.

Don't worry. The MSQ will continue to send us to every corner of Eorzea, even to Ul'dah.

While the MSQ 51-69 will send us mostly to the new zones, the level 60 quests will send us to lower level regions again.

I have a feeling that we will focus more in Ishgard during 3.0 since we will look for shelter there. I expect more from Ul'dah in the upcoming 3.x patches. This is what I feel though.

I wont lie.. I lost a little bit of respect for the admiral and the elder seedseer for just walking out while raubahn is being over thrown and the warrior of light/scions being accused of something that is completely against their character AT the accusation of monetarist who are known for their evil deeds and intent! idk.. I understood the politics of why they did what they did but really? We saved you and your people multiple times and you leave us in our time of need?! Very dissapointed.. Would have expected better from those who depend on us.. That was just the culmination of my disappointment with them. My respect for them first started to faulter when they wouldn't send men to help us protect Ishgard.. But then they take credit for it! Now this??

Well we already know that Omega is going to be a boss encounter in 3.0 as part of the main scenario and with Teledji dead it would be safe to assume Lord Lolorito will be the one reactivating it. Given that knowledge it's pretty clear the Ul'Dah situation will be addressed in 3.0.

Ye we goin' Ishgard , but we will back to main continent consistently . I belive story will be like : Help us , so we can help you . So main char will solve their stuff then back to Uldah (or by other means) and will fix Uldah stuff .

i believe yoshi-p said that one of the first few quests in the 3.0 MSQ is finding the scions.

Ishgard didn't send any help when the Calamity happened. Frickin' moon just crashed into the planet and Ishgard is all "lol not my problem." I think Merlwyb and Kan E Senna were still sore about it. Raubahn, on the other hand, knows what it's like to have your home invaded and taken over, and that's why he pressed for permission to lend SOME troops (which in hindsight may not have been a bad idea, if some of his most loyal people were over there.)

After that.... well, it's internal Ul'Dahn politics and their hands were tied. I'm not happy about it, but I can see why they didn't help.

Had they started helping Raubahn they would have risked death too then all 3 major great cities would have fallen with no leader in its place... perhaps even to the monetarists themselves.

Something tells me that they are heading back home and will help once they are in a better position to do so.

While I am disapointed that they were hesitant to send people to help ishgard I completely understand why they didn't want to. My point wasn't that they should or shouldn't have, my point was that they didn't want to help but then they took the glory for it afterward at the feast using high and mighty language. Although that put a dent in my respect for them... It wasn't even close to the betrayal that took place minutes later. Warrior of light tied up and thrown to the ground, scions surronded on every side, raubahn with a missing arm and the admiral and seedseer just leave?? Idc what kind of politics are involved those are your heros! Time and time again they bail you out during your times of need and now when we are in need you just walk out? I'm amazed. I use to have high esteem for them particularly the seedseer.. I really hope they redeem themselves in the expansion..

I really hope that is the case. Also I am by no means saying they should have fought. they could have put some sort of protection over them pending further investigation or something. They didnt even try. They offered no words or try to use their own authority.. Nothing. Just left.

As rude as it was for the 2 of them to just walk out they also didn't have a full compliment of soldiers with them either, just 1 or 2 personal guards. As much as they wanted to help Rauhabahn they weren't in a position to battle an entire city. Plus with the revelation of the CB involvement they needed to get back to their cities to start weeding out any potential risks to their own security. They'll find a way to help Rau.

After Ishgard arc we will go back to Ul'dah and the MSQ will follow Hildibrand's ascension to the throne. He is after all heir to one of the Syndicate's, and he is both immortal and a gentleman of light.

And don't forget his mum beat up Gilgamesh like it's nothing. Not even Ilberd will be able to stop her for 5 seconds.
