I especially agree with your disappointment with Garlemald. Ten years of suffering at their hands and I was finally looking forward to a counter invasion and payback. Nope. They destroy themselves off camera and now we have to go help those poor souls, oh, and we better not hurt ANY of their soldiers or else the literal elezen children commanding this operation will frown and clench their fists at us.
I've read about how Garlemald could've gone on longer, taking up a full expansion. I'm kinda glad it didn't, though it would've been cool to see Anima and the role finale as bigger fights. The whole thing would've dragged on for too long.

They didn't really destroy themselves off camera. We saw enough going on with things falling apart thanks to Zenos and later Fandaniel.
