AntiTower Speculation

[Theodric]

To be fair it's possible that Eorzea would be better off under Garlean rule. The only real reason Eorzea hasn't imploded yet seems to be due to the Warrior of Light who in turn is just a convenient plot device to defeat whatever new threat happens to emerge on any given day. Even then the aftermath of the WoL's intervention isn't particularly pleasant. Ul'dah didn't change for the better after Lolorito's little game. Ishgard was revealed to be built on numerous lies and countless innocent people were murdered through the ages in the name of war. The Beast Tribes were driven to act the way they do now not simply through Garlemald's attempts at purging them but Limsa's inability to keep to agreements made in regards to territory. Ala Mhigo would likely seek to invade Eorzea to this very day if not for Garlemald's occupation.

If we do get a faction within Garlemald that is less eager to conquer then I hope it puts its people and homeland first and foremost. I don't want another Cid or Lucia clone who throws away all ties to their people and homeland purely to give Eorzeans convenient access to what is meant to be a very exclusive and formidable tool; namely magitek. Though I imagine people are sick of me posting about this around these parts, eh?

I understand that you like the Garleans as much I love the Ascians, but no, no I don't think you can really argue that. Eorzea is a place of magic and spirituality; Garlemald is absolutely not. It's less an issue of believing in a religion and more of an issue of do you believe that each individual has a right to choose their spiritual lifestyle, so long as it is not hurting anyone? Garlemald would remove those options, which I am fervently against.

The Spoken races are not the only races that matter, unless you think it's fair and justified for Garlemald to commit genocide on the beast races that aren't tempered. Because they will, as their policy remains such; that was part of the point of SE reintroducing them with the Vanu.
