How to Decentralize Ul'dah

[VeranRamaden]

I honestly think it is just the games fault that Ul'Dah is the center.
The story, unknowingly to the creators, would make Ul'Dah the main city.
If they would have had each city state have their own story from the beginning
to end of the scenario as they should have, wouldn't be a problem.
They could have had 3 primal fights leviathan, ifrit, titan
for each city state. That would have kept each city decently full.
Then grand company added on top of that, bam more incentive to feel pride for your
starting city. They screwed up MAJOR by making the story so quick and streamlined.
That is the reason Ul'Dah is center - it was made so without knowing.
