I think it will honestly have the same level of effect Ishgard had. Some folk will hop on that train SO hard and others not so much.
Granted, I think the impact might be felt harder because I think the Samurai aesthetic is VERY appealing to a lot of people. (aka weebs like me)
I don't see any RP hubs really changing and with SE's pattern of offering limited detail about the world the characters actually live in I see structure to build RP around coming up short because that has just been the precedent for years.
Ishgard was the sole focus for HW yet we still clamour for details on how their system of Government actually works. With this being split between TWO nations I see details coming up even shorter this go round.
On the other side of the coin, I'm hoping these city areas are huge. I'm hoping we get more than just an alleyway, a bar and the rich people area ala Ishgard. I WANT them to be super awesome and offer just ridiculous, drippy, gorey detail I can shove my face in but... *shrug* I fear it'll be more like Idylshire sized at worst.
