We should ally with the Garleans

[shao32]

Roman Empire? Are you kidding?
I simply can't believe that people can actually root for the Garlean Empire, who would turn the world into a mechanical totalitarian nightmare. Do you need more explanation why our (REAL) world is so messed up? Don't look further. People like the darn Garlean Empire, though the devs do their best to paint them as absolute villains. And STILL people root for them. Unbelievable.
It's like people in WoW rooting for the Burning Legion.
I'd say "get a grip, folks", but I know it's no use. You'll get no grip.
Also, this thread is probably the nadir of my whole Internet experience. It's really scary and depressing, beyond words.

ask te ppl how love star wars empire, ask the ppl how loves sephirot, ask the ppl how like the joker and more.
ficcion is ficcion if the ppl can't diference the reality from ficcion is not mi problem.
in the real world the persons how dealt bad thinks don't play videogames.

Yeah, but there is no one saying that either Sephiroth, the Empire nor Joker are just misunderstood beings who are in real not that bad.

So far the empire

• they were on war just to conquer as much as possible, only stopped because
• they caused the whole primal threat while on conquering tour through eorzea and after that they
• caused the calamity
• wiped out the Scions who fight primals (what did Scions do to the garleans? Don't we fight primals as well?)
• they run 'magitek-clad winged machina armed with devastating weaponry that are dispatched throughout the realm to rain terror and destruction from above.'
  Yes, that's an official quote.
• ...

To achieve their goals they use

• slavery
• murder
• brainwashing
• lies, seduction, extortion
• land-smashing moons
• ...

Yeah, but they're not bad, m'kay?

Yeah, in the citystates are some bad people too.. But i guess under garlean control they would probably the only ones left and not killed/imprisoned.
