I definitely support the Garlean Empire. I don't care if they're evil or if players want to just accept such a black and white story because it's Final Fantasy. Think outside the box. The Garleans have actual technology and things like science and education. The Eorzeans are primitive hunter gatherers and they should be conquered.

I personally role play my character as a Garlean spy. Getting rid of Gaius only because he went crazy. Can't wait until a time when I can take out Alphinaud and convince Alisaie to join the empire.
