3.4 speculation

[Theodric]

I feel like it'd feel a bit too contrived for Yda to turn out to be royalty. I already found it to be a bit awkward when Aymeric just happened to be the son of the Archbishop. Personally I'm hoping that if Ala Mhigo is 'reclaimed' it involves the establishment of some sort of council that boasts both an Ala Mhigan and Garlean presence. It is, after all, a place where many Garleans have lived side by side with Ala Mhigans for over two decades. Even if it isn't a mutually beneficial relationship...what, exactly, is the Ala Mhigan Resistance/Eorzean Alliance going to do with the Garleans (including civilians) living there? Exile them? Kill them? Imprison them? Force them to side with their cause and have the Garleans betray their homeland and people?

I want the situation in Ala Mhigo to be interesting and complicated with blood on the hands of all parties involved. Not a dull, cliche tale about the self proclaimed heroes taking back their homeland from an evil empire. I've said this before but The Arcadian Empire in FFXII is the perfect model to do Garlemald justice.
