Is anyone else dying to get to Garlemald?

[Theodric]

They've showed the good side of Garlemald at multiple points. It's nobody's fault but their own if they deliberately choose to ignore that. Furthermore the comparisons to Nazi Germany don't really help - they're largely fueled by emotional bias. I'm not saying it's the case here, mind you, but elsewhere on the internet it has become rather common for people to make comparisons to Nazi Germany in an attempt to shut down an opponent's argument because it's easier to paint the opposition as Nazi sympathisers instead of understanding their point of view or recognising that the world is a lot more nuanced than many like to believe.

Gaius and Regula have already proven themselves to be honourable. There's also a side quest in one of the liberated settlements that has the inhabitants threaten to kick out the Eorzean Alliance and Ala Mhigan Resistance because the Garlean in charge of the place treated them very well. That same officer also points out that whilst some areas - such as Doma and Ala Mhigo - are cesspits of suffering there are other places that are largely unchanged and prosper under Garlean rule.

Garlemald isn't a case of black morality. It needs reform, yes, but that has been the case with pretty much every single region we have encountered so far in-game. Even Varis is being portrayed as having shades of grey - first with Regula's revelations about the Emperor and then with Varis writing off his own heir as a monster.
