Will Ishgard have a low and medium level camp?

[Felis]

Dragonhead is medium

If you mean in the new zones, then no. It start there with lv 50+

[Cakekizy]

If only meant for high levels, then why do new jobs base out of there and start at 30 and not 50?

Because central coerthas still start at lv 30

[rina_inverse]

but does central coerthas count as the new expansion?

[Spawnie]

doesnt really need to.. since theres plenty of areas b4 hand that easily can get to 50... considering u need to be level 50 to enter highly unlikely there will be any mobs/areas for 40ish

[rina_inverse]

so any local Ishgardian adventurer always start @ level 50

that's neat

I'm not sure that anyone really understands what you are asking.

Are you asking in terms of actual game design, or in terms of lore?

[rina_inverse]

both actually

- lore: it clearly enough that im baiting Ferne to put his lore bomb, explaining why local Ishgardian adventurer (if there's any) start @level 50
* is there any local ishgardian adventurer? or do all have to join the what-it-name military in Ishgard?
* if local ishgardian adventurer start @level 1, do secret low - medium level camp existed? will it become a new zone in Ishgard that will be unlocked in the distant/far future?

- game mechanic
* will be able, someday in the distant/far future, to pick Ishgard as our starting city?
* will there be Ishgard based grand company

stuff

It wasn't clear at all actually, but thank you for finally clarifying.

There is no reason to believe there are "local Ishgardian adventurers", as Ishgard is a closed city, seemingly all elezen and very religious. I doubt being an "adventurer" is a real option for many, and those who do would be rebels. Anyhow lore wise no one HAS levels, so the point is moot. I very much doubt there will be any low level zone, there is no reason for it. Mid-level maybe, Coerthas is already for the 30s, so if they add another part of Coerthas maybe that will be similar.

Pick Ishgard as starting city? No way.

Grand company? I don't see why not, but it would require a lot of reworking of various things (including PVP).

[Wobi]

why not? does local Ishgardian adventurer start at level 50 too?

Because no Ishgardians could possibly go outside to Central Coerthas. This is flawed logic given the game environment that already exists would suffice for the Ishgardian soldiers/adventurers. In 1.0 days almost the entire zone was filled with monsters that could one-shot you, so given the original lore the new Ishgardians have it pretty easy by comparison.

So far as I know they don't have any plans to retcon the story to have new starting areas an redo many of the mechanics of the storyline to make this fit. This kind of thing worked in WoW because they originally planned out the game that way that each starting zone would have it's own story and FF14 does that to extent but melds it into the main overlying arc much sooner. Given the general stance Ishgardians have taken it would make little sense with the current story and they would have to develop a completely different arc to work them towards the main story as it exists now. Given that this is a lot of development time I sincerely doubt they will put effort into this when they could instead be making all new content.
