I remember some rage about it being destroyed when they showed off some concept art of Ishgard ruins and people started freaking out that they never even got to visit it in 1.0 and now its destroyed.

Thankfully Yoshi-P confirmed that it wasn't but he did say opening it up is in the future of ARR down the road, but not anywhere near launch. I'm sorry I don't have the time to pull up source interview but its pretty old. A few months after 2.0 was announced and he was doing interview rounds.
