New City Aetheryte shards confusing

[Cakekizy]

My only (minor) gripe with Ishgard's aethernet is the inability to teleport directly to the Coerthas Western Highlands or Sea of Clouds. Would be nice if those were added when we unlock flying in those areas, along with the zone lines becoming accessible.

Huh? Both of those zones have aetherytes you can port to.

I mean to teleport to those areas via the aethernet, like how you can port to just outside the gates of the other cities, or to the Central Highlands in Ishgard. Like I said, it's a very minor gripe.

yea, it's strange that the other cities have 2 or 3 exits but Ishgard only has the 1. and it's not like there isn't a zone line to Western Highlands. at the very least that should open once you unlock flight there.

It's especially bad when you consider how rarely you will travel from Ishgard to Central Highlands, yet you will travel from Ishgard to the other two zones a hundred times while questing in 3.0.

Lore wise, however, they have never allowed you to use a city aetherite to cross a great distance. Gridania to East Shroud requires a boat ride, as does Limsa to East La Noscea. Since Sea of Clouds and Western Coethas both require flying in lore, I imagine that was why they didn't let you teleport there via aethernet.

It would have been nice if you could unlock it later, though, like how you gain access to the "wolf gate" in gridania after a certain level.
