I mean, I wouldn't frame it in such glowing terms - but yeah, I could see a faction of bitter aristocrats who missed the power and influence they wielded in the Empire formenting a reactionary movement to prop up a new Emperor and Restore The Glorious Days Of The Empire. I'd be totally down with the Neo-Garlean-Empire being a major story antagonist a few expansions in the future.

But you kind of need to abolish a monarchy first to do a "faction attempting to restore the monarchy" storyline.

The spread of Sharlayan democracy has shaped our history for long enough! Bonus: Alphinaud will be unable to do anything about it.
Yeah they'd probably sound something like that.
