Why cant we play Garlean empire?

[shinros]

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.

Lol eorzea does not even have clocks. When you find one the people at the church don't know what it is. Its just something I found kinda funny my bro said they must use sun dials. XD

It also has sapient magical devices. Science, Technology, Culture are not some sort of Tech tree out of Civilization. People discover what they discover and it propegates as is useful. Eorzea has run into magitech we can see it being adapted they just don't have decades of Soviet style forced mechanization like the Empire had.
