Cheers man it was a struggle ! <| sep |> Okay sounds good . Thanks you in advance ! <| sep |> The Ul ' dah forces can ' t reach shit behind Ishgard . Starting with the western highlands , everything is completely surrended by mountains , something that wouldn ' t be worth it to try to pass by foot . Ishgardians could at any time move overpopulation to the west . Potentially even working together with the trading folks . To reach Ishgard , Ul ' dah would have to use airships , which Ishgard won ' t have any problems fending off or go heavily out of their way around the mountains . Even if they would eventually reach Ishgard that way . they ' d be exhausted and grinded down , now also having to deal with the extremely cold climate around Ishgard . Wwhat ? When did I say anything about Ul ' Dah ? All I said was that if you sealed Ishgardians into Ishgard like you suggested sealing Limsans into Limsa Lominsa , they would die out just as easily as anyone else . It ' s wrong to say Limsas population couldn ' t survive in their city when literally nobody else could either . Not even Ishgard . It ' s also silly to say It ' s so easy to seal Limsans in their city when Limsa has way more openings than Ishgard does , something you yourself said
