[Discussion] Ala Mhigo and it's hypocrisy...

[Vexander]

I remember someone jokingly say that the Ala Mhigans are/were kill happy.....and from what we've seen they kinda are

If they do revolt, all Garleans and Garlean sympathizers will be killed, especially if they're led by Ilberd (who killed Wilred, an Ala Mhigan resistance fighter that joined the braves).

In either case, reading their wiki it says that at least one prince made it out and is in hiding. So this mysterious prince can probably play a role once/when we go to Ala Mhigo

The question now is, what condition is this prince in? Is he a child? Injured or ill in any way? More important, if he is young, will be able to really gather the refugees and organize them in any meaningful way? And where is he?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think he was hidden in the mountains in one of the monk monastaries?

As far as I know Ala Mhigo fell ~ 20+ years prior to the game starting. So at the very least he'll be 20 years old assuming he was hidden as an infant. As we've seen with Nanamo, royalty hold alot of sentimental meaning/power behind it; a symbol of hope of what once was and can be again. Maybe they know that it was Gaius' machination that aided in the fall of Ala Mhigo

In either case, the Ala Mhigan resistance is a bigger thing than we thought. The 1st time we saw Gaius and co. in 2.0 an Ala Mhigan resistance spy was found and killed.

Though, I get the feeling that that refugees under Ilberd will be alot more viontent

So, Pipin Tarupin's age, approximately?

To be fair the Garlean empire is closer to the gestahlian empire from FF6 which was more stereotypically 'evil' for the most part but I'd say that was mainly due to the limited story telling potential so Garlemald is basically the gestahlian empire with more politics. I'm hoping we see more characters who are actually patriotic to garlemald who aren't just portrayed as the bad guys though.

I think it's a given because going there as apart of an expansion in the future is practically guaranteed at some stage and going there under a hostile context would be odd for an expansion setting, although not necessarily an allied one either.

This, i mean it does fit quite nicely.

Anyways as for ala mihgan it had the dynasty ruling if i remember from mnk story line, the temple of light/dark sect monks where the powerhouse of the place, light sect got seduced by garlean and started mistrusting the dynasty and then dark sect stepped in they fighted to the death dark sect lost and was branded the evil sect, and then garleans came to conquer.
