What is Ishgard going to be like?

[lololink]

And Coerthas wasn't snowy in 1.0 the calamity created an eternal winter, It's possible that we will see green lands in a new area in heavensward

The area in this video looks like it could be an area of Coerthas.

I hope we get to walk across the skyway to get to the main gate. And maybe skyfish from the skyway. I hate being able to see the causeways from Limsa Lominsa, but when we zone through, poof! We're on land. We deserve those long causeway/skyway approaches.

Definiately this, I really hope we dont just zone into the city from the Gates of Judgement.

You weren't in 1.0, I don't think, but going through the gates to Gridania was annoying as heck. You had to walk at least a minute just to get inside the city. It was the same for Limsa Lominsa, but not for Ul'dah.

All of the new job videos look like they are in Coerthas.

The Machinist one has an aetheryte in the background. Which makes me wonder whether "the foundation" as shown before is actually the lower part of Ishgard turned battlefield. (Of course, it could be a zone aetheryte somewhere else. I'm sure the Ishgardians have more Vigils in those mountains, at least one known one in the western highlands)

I'm not looking too forward to running about Ishagard. I didn't like being in Coerthas very much. I hated the change in music and the people were insufferable to deal with. I imagine Ishgarde will be all that pretentious zealotry x100. I am curious how the story will handle the Au Ra players running about, though. The Ishgardians throw people off of cliffs because they MIGHT be involved with dragons. How will they react to a race with dragon-like features?

This has kinda bugged me since announcement. A nation whom hates dragons merrily allowing what will end up being hundreds of draconic-like beings marauding threw Coerthas in a time of war (And thus a very bad security problem...) Going threw 2.x for new toons may well be jarring with the "Hey dragon-like guy, save us from the dragon menace!" or indeed new players seeing hundreds of Au'Ra running around in a land that supposedly hates them.

Also curious as to how this is handled. We see people hurled off cliff edges for less.

It amused me in it's own way.

They will glare a bit more, threaten to throw people off cliffs, than see that we did good, and go back to glaring.
