Just some thoughts in return.

The last monarchy remaining in the world to my knowledge is Doma’s, everywhere else is just another democracy, apart from Gridania being ruled by its conjurers and Limsa being pirate land. Garlemald’s fate was little more than another attempt to preach some vague, cookie cutter dream of democracy onto us again like they did in Ishgard and Ala Mhigo. I suppose I can also expect Hien to abdicate his throne at some point as well, and for Alphinaud to run for office in his place. Goodness.
True if one ignores Kugane, Thavnair, Dragon society, Idyllshire, the Viera of the Source and the First, the Pixies, pretty much every Tribe, Sui-no-Sato, I assume the Confederacy given their pirate group structure, the tribes of the Azim Steppe, the Redbills and whatever the fuck is going on with the Crystarium. Thats a lot of different societal structures. Not to mention of all the nations to become a democracy arguably the one with an already pre-existing Senate makes the most sense.

I mentioned this before in a previous thread but if you are going to have a male character constantly be obsessed with the player character either give us the option to avoid his antics or at least let this obsession come from a character with a traditionally masculine look, without the memelike mannerisms. I would not care if someone like Aymeric flirted with my character for instance, or any of the other male characters in the game who look like men.
I don't really see the issue with someone not traditionally masculine expressing admiration. But perhaps that's subjective.

I would however strongly caution against using the meme/slice of life moments we’ve been seeing lately in the MSQ in the void, that stuff hardly has a place on the Source let alone the 13th.
