Actually, yeah, I did think of the Tavnazian Safehold. But only after gazing at Ishgard from afar and realizing how easy it would have been for the old team to look at the castle, determine it would be too difficult to make, and then paste in a bunch of caves instead. Then they'd try to work it into the lore.

"Yeah, um....the upper castle-thing? Yeah...you can't go in there. It's, um....for nobility or something. Yeah, that's it. They're very religious and stuff, those Isgardians. Wouldn't want common adventurers soiling the castle, now, would they? But hey: they'll totally let you into the caves! That's pretty cool, right??"

Which, yeah, is probably what happened when they got around to designing the Tavnazian Archipelago in FFXI.
