New City?

[Fensfield]

The above is partially true. The 'new city' is Ishgard. From what I can tell from the game's lore, as well as being home to the Dragoons (I think?) it seems to be the closest thing Eorzea has to a spiritual capital.

However, the above poster is making a lot of assumptions. While it's likely that Ishgard will feature a significant amount of higher level content, given the average difficulty of its Coerthas region, we have very, very few details about the role it will have.

For one, and by my understanding, Jueno became prominent in FFXI due to its having the shortest distance on average between the major cities. This is not true of Ishgard, which is a long way from any of the other cities compared to their distance from one another, and makes for an extremely challenging journey besides; especially if you try to reach it by any other route than via the Black Shroud.

It's implementation point is 'we're working on it but it won't be ready until some time after we've fixed everything', by my understanding, with the target of having it ready for the game's PS3 release along with the missing genders.
