What do we know about Ishgard? ( Possible Expansion name?)

[Uki]

Here's a sneak peek from CE's "Art Of Eorzea Book".



It reminds me a city from FFIX,don't remember the name right now.



Here it looks like a mix of San'Doria & Jeuno from FFXI (upper pics).I love the medieval style!

Thank you for the Pictures! ( I never seen them before!) Updated OP with those Pictures!

Okay the art for those two areas look pretty damn amazing.

Also, I feel like the Theme for Ishgard will have a "Religious" feel to it. ( since Ishgard is a very religious city-state)

Well, Ishgard kind of already did have a music theme in 1.0 - it was called Holy Consult, composed by Nobuo Uematsu, but it only appeared in a couple of story/quest cutscenes involving Ishgardians, as the city itself of course was never accessible (the track appears on the Eorzean Frontiers and Before Meteor albums.)

And you're right that it is very formal and secular sounding, so hopefully, Soken will either retain Uematsu's piece or compose a new theme in a similar style to suit Ishgard's religious setting.

Is Holy Consult on youtube? for some reason I can't find it .

It was, but SE finally clamped down on all the pirated FFXIV music on there so it's been removed. No doubt this is because the whole 1.0 soundtrack is now available for purchase (ala, Before Meteor), which is well worth the price.

I do remember hearing some Ishgardian music, just vague remember it ( since it's only was used once maybe twice). I suppose it should be up on youtube eventually ( Before Meteor style!)

Not fully about Ishgard but I just noticed there's a Garlean outpost visible from a distance south-east of Monument Tower, whatever that means. Could the Garleans be helping the dragons? Needless to say, the dragons are beast tribes to Garleans and would be purged after they have outlived their usefulness.

There's actually Garlean strongholds in every region of Eorzea - it's why it's stated that Eorzea pretty much is in a state of cold war at the moment, they're literally waiting for the Empire to renew hostilities and launch a full-scale assault on the citystates. As for Ishgard, I remember hearing that they apparently have a neutrality treaty with the Empire, which would explain their 'closed border' policy.
