A serious discussion about abridging the story quest 1-50 (discouraging new players)

[Felis]

Simple, in that trailer there was a massive army of dragons. Meaning that where they come from, something must have sent them. My character would join with the ishgard people and be able to fight. Any country when attacked with a huge sizable force has always asked for help by neighboring countries when they knew they couldn't fend off said threat. It happened in WW2 and WW1. I do not see why this would not have happened or wont happen in Ishgard. Or you know, my character could just sneak in kinda like what happens on the boarders of mexico or Tibet .

Ishgardians would still tell to you : "There is nothing to see. This is our war. Now go!"

Only after you saved them twice with defeating Shiva and defending the Steps of Faith they start to trust you enough.
