Well it's official now! FFXV crossover event on the way!

that's exactly how lore works.

i don't assume all Garlean civilians walk around like stormtroopers.

it's not like we don't already have suits and tuxedos and jeans and wedding dresses.

I think you missed the point of the exchange. We have a current represented aesthetic to how Garlean technology and clothing (through some MSQ Garleans who weren't in armour, Cid's and Nero's way of dress) looks and even how loyal Garleans act. The fact that we haven't been to Garlemald doesn't mean that we have no information on how they operate, look or live and get to say "the things we've seen are in no way representative of what we may see, so i'm going to pretend they have manga and cell phones and other head-canon and then plug my ears."
