    I don't think they'd remove something that everyone in the game went to take screenshots with at one time or another... at least I don't think they would. That concept art with a destroyed Isghgard-looking thing makes me nervous, but the new bestiary entries say the wyverns are on the front lines attacking them so I guess the city is still there.

    I wonder if they built that Rapture bar I tried to rally for! (lol)

    Well, we didn't know what to expect at the time. At one point we (my linkshell) were under the impression that only Gridania was being blown up. Not the whole world.

    There was an interview where it was brought up i'm sure, not sure where but Yoshida said that it was a Ishgadian Fortress that was in ruins and that he felt he had to implement Ishgard into the game like Musketeer etc

    I'm hoping Migardsormr and the Agrius will still be there, though what will happen with Agrius if it is? It's weaponry is still functional judging by the end of the original 1.0 questline.

    What? The end of the 1.0 main quest line you encounter Gaius, but he has his own fleet of airships and Juggernauts unrelated to the Agrius.

    Agrius is a heap of metal, mate.

    The blast comes from the Agrius. The Agrius is behind him, he fires a flare, the Agrius opens fire. The blast comes from it's silhouette? not sure if thats the right word.

    Edit: I had to prove myself wrong ^^';; yeah theres a silhouette sticking out of the Agrius/Midgardsormr silhouette that i'm guessing is a battleship lining up infront of it.

    Haha up until this point I had always thought he had reactivated some of the Agrius' systems.

    According to a dev post from when that image was posted and people were translating its caption as "destroyed ishgard", the dev pointed out that the destroyed structure was an Ishgardian fortess rather than the city-state itself. So I think Ishgard itself is probably okay, it's just that the climate's been changed drastically from chilly highlands to like...Greenland. (...greenland's pretty tundra-y, right?)

    On the subject of Midgardsormr, I'm...actually surprised he's still there? Like the entire battle of Carteneau took place RIGHT WHERE HE WAS and yet his corpse didn't get megaflare'd? ...this is gonna sound weird, but is it possible that maybe Bahamut deliberately missed the corpse/juggernaut because Midgardsormr (as far as i remember) was a pretty high-ranking dragon? I forget the whole dragon/wyrm hierarchy thing but i think Midgardsormr was pretty high up there.

    One last thing that's been bugging me--someone brought up the fact that before ARR, everyone and their mom said that Gridania was going to get hit the hardest with the Calamity and become completely different. Where did that even come from? Was it just an assumption because Gridania was close to Mor Dhona/the occupied Ala Mhigo? Or did someone actually say that in-game? Because honestly, Gridania didn't even get hit that hard with what we've seen of ARR's Black Shroud...it still looks pretty shroud-y. (which i'm happy for) although i think they said there were going to be more desolate-looking parts of the Shroud the deeper in you went and we just haven't seen those yet? maybe it's that?

    One of the only known areas we cannot yet access in the Black Shroud is the area occupied by the Sylvans, aka the purple-tinted Sylphs who worship Ramuh and hate everybody else.

    As for desolation, check out North Shroud area, west of the Fallgourd Float aetheryte.
