I would expect the class to be playable in an expansion, but as far as the nationality, I doubt it.
You have threatened a Lalafell.
The nation of Lalafells now descends upon you.
At the very most, we'll be visiting Garlemald sometime in the future.
After completing the main story quests I found myself caring more for the Garlean Empire than I did for the hypocritical city states present on Eorzea. Ul'dah is full of starving refugees and the rich get richer whilst the poor get poorer. On top of that, the beast races were forced out into Thanalan and ended up relying on banditry for the sake of surviving. Limsa Lominsa isn't much better - the pirates stupidly broke a peace treaty with the Kobolds and the Gridanians are more than willing to stand by and watch strangers and refugees in their lands perish if the whimsical Elementals do not grant them their blessing.
I found myself very sympathetic towards the Garlean Empire. There's shades of grey, they've blood on their hands but they're more well-intentioned extremists than irredeemably evil. I'd love to be able to play one in the future and see Garlemald from the perspective of one of its inhabitants rather than the 'heroes' of Eorzea invading it.
Yup during the endgame dungeon when Gaius was asking those questions after everything I have been through I said no if I believed in Eorzea. Personally after watching the 1.0 gridinia story on youtube it made me hate the elementals and I could see why the duskwights decided to stay in the caves. Oh and the fact they won't heal a dying man I was like what!? In this main story no one is a good guy here IMO heck I was struggling with picking a GC to join if I had the choice I would refused to join one.After completing the main story quests I found myself caring more for the Garlean Empire than I did for the hypocritical city states present on Eorzea.

In the end I just followed minfillia advice and using them to benefit myself.
Lets not forget being a black mage they would murder my friends on sight.

Well intentioned huh? I know the 3 city states aren't the best and got worst after the whole bahumt being summoned and all but Garlean empire is still worst I don't see how saying 'join me or die' is well intentioned for the record I don't even see the people of eorzea invading Garlean empire when they in fact just want them out of eorzeaI found myself very sympathetic towards the Garlean Empire.

Well that big roe said his country was pure chaos before the empire came along his people would murder and kill each other. Personally I think there is no good guy here I just fight for myself/friends thats it.Well intentioned huh?

I also really like the Empire. I doubt we'll be joining them any time soon, but eventually we'll get an expansion set in Garlemald (fingers crossed for 2019, keeping with the current 2 year cycle) and if the Gods are just, we'll get a gunblade class and tonnes of Imperial clothing and gear.
Most of the Garlean troops we've encountered have been conscripted from the regions conquered by Garlemald. Only pure-blooded Garleans can't use magic, but they recruit plenty of people from other races who can.
van Baelsar tried recruiting us at one point, so I guess we'd be Imperial operatives of some sort rather than experiments.Just curious, scenario or not. How would an aether-bound Echo person fit in garlean?
I mean other than being a lab rat like how they treat kirille, it's not a very fun life.
I imagine the story is very short until level 20 where we have to survive Ifrit's, or concept of Echo.

I think having some Garlemald-related quests and some gathering and crafting jobs related to Garlemald would be excellent for an expansion. Maybe even have some housing there and in Ala Mhigo. The prices of garlic would drop like a stone!
