Ishgard and Ala Mhigo included.
This right here is one of my biggest problem with 14. With how they make each nation feel same-y. Back when I'm still doing early arr, the three nations (ul'dah, limsa, Gridania) are interesting because of how different and flawed they are. Ishgard and Ala mhigo was pretty interesting too before we visited it. Only kugane that imo isn't really changed that much.

I'm not really asking for witcher 3 level of moral ambiguity, but seeing all these nations becoming goody two shoes is disappointing me. I hope this is just a case of them uniting against common enemy, and in 7.0 they will start having conflicts again.

I'm also not looking forward to see sharlayan get the ishgard v.2 treatment in 6.0, though judging by past records it's going to happen.
