Islabard is on the map right now, covered in clouds, it was seen in a smoke in the final Stormblood CG trailer, we have had multiple main characters go there, we have seen numerous cutscenes there, all those meanwhile in the Imperial Palace cutscenes have been building it up, the final cutscene with Zenos and Fandaniel screamed Islabard and going there to stop them more then any other location, it does not Need to be Delayed Another expansion, it makes the most sense for the Season 1 finale.
Idk, the evidence you provide can also be rationale for not going there because we've seen so much of it already, why go? Wouldn't you want to explore some where new? Mysterious because you know nothing about it? Not sure this is a "Delayed" expansion. I'm fully confident 6.0 ends with Zodiark/Zenos/Fandaniel's defeat and we save the world--which feels the opposite of "delayed".
