Into Ishgard

[Cenerae]

Unfortunately you have no choice but to slog through it.

It's clear that the devs learned their lesson from it though, and you can at least access Stormblood classes as soon as you hit level 50. But they've not doubled back to make any of the Heavensward classes easier to access unfortunately.

On the bright side, once you're done with the footwork, it will stay done forever. So there's that!

Such a long, long way to go though...
