Eh, I don't believe we need to take the fight to Garlemald. Ala Mhigo was conquered fair and square - much like it sought to conquer the rest of Eorzea. 'Liberating' Ala Mhigo isn't necessarily a good thing. It's been quite some time since it was occupied and the people living there are unlikely to want the status quo to change - especially if they've come to befriend or look up to the Garlean stationed there. Let's not forget that there's likely to be a lot of Garlean civilians there too - what are we going to do with them? Kick them out? Force them to adhere to Eorzea's ways?

No. I'd rather the Garlemald situation be far more complex than going after the 'bad guys'. Especially when FF games have a long history of making sympathetic/morally grey antagonists.
