@Cilia: Oh I know but I thought I might mention the Ala Mhigo war before someone else will just post "but Eorzea had their wars too" even if they happened in the past. Anyway I cant see how the current city states would go to war against the core empire on their own will.

But I do like the idea of the WoL being captured by someone and we are a prisoner of Garlemald and kinda escape thanks to a rebellion inside of Garlemald. This would give us a chance to see their side without much influence but without the need of another big war with Eorzea.

@YianKutku: Exactly. We cant go around and say that war is necessary to advance the civilization. Even more since war created some really horrible bombs in real life..also there is always the question of "do we truly need that much advancement in technology? (But that is probably a discussion that is not good in this forum x)) And since we cant ever know how it would have went without war, we can never say that something like that is truly necessary.

At least in FF14 we know that many of the technological advanced states overdid it, grew too power hungry and caused their own downfall. (And a calamity on top of that) But I have nothing against a magitek kettle. :P
