Just think about it. A player start in Ishgard, left the city as a lv1 or lv4 character to kill his first enemies, and all what he see are lv 35-40 enemies. He have to travel to the north shroud to find enemies at his level.
Uh, you know they're adding new zones in Ishgard, right? Per Yoshi P, 3.0 is going to have as much content as 2.0 did at release. I have every reason to believe that Ishgard will have a Starting City, its own Grand Company (perhaps with 4 distinct 'flavors' a la the Houses), and its own 'starter' zones. I'm not sure how they'd integrate existing story content, but for characters starting in Ishgard, they might not have to.
