I am not convinced at all that Ishgard wont be available as a city,

first of all: the pic states "ishgard fortress" not city, not castle, you know what else is an ishgard fortress? Dzemael Darkhold

second: Neither the Architecture nor the surroundings of the concept art looked even close to the Ishgard we have now

third: Ishgard is in the concept maps for ARR even marked as "Revitalized Ishgard" so even if it was damaged in dalamuds descend it was rebuild in the time we are in time stasis between 1.0 and ARR

and last but not least: there is a large scale PVE event planned for ishgard involving the dragon war

people need to calm down and look at the facts we already have before flipping out over new information that gets misinterpreted
