I may have missed it, or just don't remember.

Has it been mentioned why Ishgard has never done anything in-game besides give us the over-abundant male chocobos? And Shayalans out of nowhere build us the aetheryte portals in the city-states.

Why did they not help us at all with the Empire, they are a city-state as well and reside in Eorzea, so shouldn't they be part of the Grand Companies?

Do they have magitek as well to fight against dragons that they loathe so much. Also were they in that fight with Midgarsohmr and the Arguis?

I mean Ala Mihgo has had more sotry line than the two other city-states and it's destroyed.

Are they even gonna be around in 2.0
