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

Doubt it's a church, the sentence is just saying that the leader of the Church (as in - the Pope is the leader of the Church) also serves as the City-State leader. This is not all that surprising since even from 1.0 we know Ishgard has a faith-based society.

Well it is a church-state technically, a form of government known as a theocracy, that is, government by religious belief - a good real-world equivalent to Ishgard would be Vatican City in Italy, the capital of the Roman Catholic Church.

They're actually really nice people ready to help those that show respect and wish to help others.

That is to say, when they're not busy accusing everyone else of being a heretic. They are actually usually busy doing that.

They are also busy fighting the dragons, so busy that they don't have the manpower to help the other city-states.

That is correct, They are too busy on fighting the Dragons that currently they can't help anyone, soon the Dragons will overwhelm them ( In large numbers? In Rage mode? XD), and the Arc-Bishop will order the gates to be open ( Gates to Ishgard) for all that wish to help with there cause ( Most likely you will have to choice a House to reside in. I have a feeling they will have a whole system around it, like FFXI's Campaign/Conquest/Besiege Systems. Unicorn: House of Fortemps and Bell: House of Durendaire, Are visible and you can see what's in them. Not sure about, Tower/Rook: House of Dzemael, Rose: House of Haillenarte currently I can only spot soldiers with their shields being Rose. I haven't spotted it yet but I did take screenshots of the areas I did see .

Really? The gist I got from my time there is that a many of the Ishgardians dislike outsiders purely for the fact they are outsiders,so they're less inclined to help. Been a while since I did that particular quest chain so I may be wrong

That video Fellis posted indeed has Holy Consult appearing at 1.51.

And I can't believe I miss hearing the old Gridanian theme Born of the Boughs so much.
