Kind of limiting, that. (This is why I went Ul'dah for Phase 3 - since I'll be starting with Limsa, I wouldn't get to see any of that story content otherwise.)
No. The main quest line converges into Ul'dah at the level 15 mark. This is similar to 1.0 where the storylines converged and a lot of it took place in ul'dah and it's territories.
Once you finish your airship quest, you then proceed to do dungeons, which end at copperbell mines, the story taking off after that continuing to be in ul'dah regardless of where you initially started.
