I hear you. But I am going back to Ishgard. The game actually leads you right there. You can't actually not go to Ishgard if you want to advance in the game. Ishgard is just, like, the destination now.
But to further address the issue - nobody said my character didn't want to be in Ishgard, defending his home. He was sent away from Ishgard. For whatever reason. So now, they're calling him back. His division of misfits is important now, because suddenly the city is desperate. Suddenly, shit got real. It's been colder since the Calamity, the enemy is on the door step. Foreign Adventurers are coming in to help defend the city. It's endgame. So whatever we did that made us exiles til now doesn't matter. The Ark Knights are going home. Cue fan fare.
Or that was the plan anyway. We are a group stationed away from the Holy See, outcasts and criminals and disgraces, returning to the city with everyone else.

Each man longs to pursue his dream. Each man is tortured by this dream, but the dream gives meaning to his life. Even if the dream ruins his life, man cannot allow himself to leave it behind. In this world, is man ever able to possess anything more solid, than a dream?
