Like I said, I acknowledge that its based in Ishgard. However, the technology is magitech. It is literally, magitech. It has been adapted by the Ishgardians to draw off their own aether rather than on ceruleum batteries or crystals, but that doesn't stop it from being magitech. That's why I felt it belonged with Garlemald in the list better. That, and Ishgard already has an iconic DPS class in Dragoon. Kind of sad it didn't get a healer class, but they could always end up adding one down the line.
