Building a better Alphinaud

[Zanarkand-Ronso]

And they pay very strong focus on that particular element. Isghard's xenophobia or Ala Mihgo suspicious toward turn-coat is NOTHING comparing to Empire's indoctrination. This was illustrated in the EW's MSQ when the woman risk taking her sick sister escaping to the wild rather than receiving help from the "barbarian". If the Eozea army was shown to have any connection or in a cahot with the supposed-regicide, that will not end well.


I don't know why people are acting as if EW is like the end all for the Empire story. If anything, FF14 is known for to pace out the story over a lonnnnggg time. We just finally put the final seal on Isghard's redevelopment. Doma is almost there but Ala Mihgo is still a WIP. I wouldn't be suprise if the conclusion to the Empire story will only be seen in 3 expansion packs away. There are still a lot of material regarding Garlmean, like Corvos where they were driven off, and Goug which was their ancestral home. The current identity of the Garlmean is an Ascian construct to serve as tool for the end of the world, my guess is the resolution to the Garlmean would be they try to trace back their original identity as a race of people.

I do wonder if our Pro-Garlamald friends considered that.
Not like the expansion is done anyway, and its not like we ever revisit areas later...
Bah, thats thinking to hard and rationally

To be honest, I think their core complaint is that Garlemald flat out lost in the first place -- not just in battle, but in every respect. Based on past posts, they seemed to want the narrative to validate the Empire's ideology and nationalism, at least to the degree that it's "equal" to the Scions' (especially Alphinaud's, to bring it back to the title) principles of peace and global cooperation, which they have demonstrated repeated contempt for. That, I assume, is why there's constantly a push for more "isolationism".
