We should ally with the Garleans

[BubblyBoar]

People seem to think that the Empire's main goal is stopping primals first and taking over second. I'm confused on how that got turned around. Their goal, first and foremost, is to take over and conquer. They are imperialist. Even if Eorzea had no primals, that'd be fighting just as hard. As a matter of fact, when they first invaded (after taking Ala Mhigo) and Middy crashed their prize into the lake, the seal that held back the primals were broken.

You know that that means? The primals were not a present issue until the Empire came and screwed up. So they come back 5 years later and start spreading their propaganda (just like with Ala Mhigo) About how they are on a righteous mission to kill all the primals and some players actually fall for it. They even took the time to outright attack and murder the only group doing the exact same thing. Long before there was any conflicts between them. Sounds like they want to make Eorzea's only hope of stopping Primals (which again, they unsealed) the Empire.

The debate around this is so energetic that it makes me pine for factional PVP. People would really get into their roles.

We have faction PvP, everyone hates it.

The garleans methods aren't even that much different then some of the city states. Look at uldah for example, they enslaved the gigas and kept them in mines their entire lives. When they rightfully rebelled the collapsed the mines ontop of them to get rid of them. It's not like things have ever changed either the people in charge of Uldah are just a different kind of evil. They only love money and will do anything to get it even neglect others to the point of death. The empress is the only one who thinks differently.

That was literally a century or so ago. Ul'dah is more or less more civilized and recognize that such a thing is wrong. Yes, the city state still has MANY problems, but enslavement is not one of them. Meanwhile, the Empire has been imperialist and have not learned from their ways. They continue to kill and conquer and enslave. Saying they are the same is being willfully ignorant or (what I believe this whole topic is) trolling.
