At this point Corvos isn’t an option anymore. The Corvosi fully rebelled against them amidst the Final Days and the Blasphemy capstone quest has the survivors flee across Ilsabard to Garlemald with many dying along the way.

Right now the Garlean legions are a lot like the Ascians in that we know for a fact many of them have been destroyed or surrendered, but we don’t know what happened to the rest and it’s likely they were dealt with off-screen. The Garleans fought two civil wars back-to-back along with rebellions throughout its empire and it’s likely that they’ve been defanged. The Ilsabard Contingent practically waltzed into the Garlean homeland without a major battle like the Ghimlyt Dark. The Xth legion, whom Cinna expected to back him up, immediately surrendered off-screen without a fight and even helped Eorzea by giving the command to him to stand down. That tells me that the Garlean military doesn’t have the strength to fight anymore or solve their own problems and that the situation is more dire than we’ve been led to believe. I hope the Xth legion legatus or acting legatus actually appears on-screen to explain things.

The Blasphemy capstone quest already deals with the “what to do with the Garleans”, and some go to Sharlayan, some go to the Moon, and most seem to stay in Garlemald and hope to rebuild. Corvos was said to be too politically risky because they were successfully routed there. I just hope this doesn’t end up like the void quests where the storyline is abandoned on a cliffhanger and they come back in the next expansion to deal with it without acknowledging the role capstone quests.

I’ve heard a lot of people suggest the Vth legion could be in the New World because of something to do with FFV could fit it there. If that’s the case, it would be nice if we end up working alongside them after some initial misunderstandings against a greater enemy. We’ve fought the Garleans in many different ways over the past 12 years and it would be nice to do something different.
