I hope I'm wrong about that though.
I don't think so. Ishgard's story is more something that will be dealt with in the Scholisticate quests which aren't connected to Hildibrand save for the fact one character has crossed over from the 2.X Hildibrand quests and he has acted quite serious since he arrives.
