"The issue with suggesting that some of the provinces are better off under Garlean rule is that not even the Garleans are better off under Garlean rule. Even with Bozja's capital melted and Rabanastre bombed to rubble, the Garleans have probably ended up being the most badly affected by the Garlean Empire and now exist as refugees in their own homeland."

But as you said before, it's because an ascian created their empire. Said ascian are now gone. So now it's the time for garlean to decide their own future. The game already did give us that, but again, it's too little.


It's going to be hard to rewrite and include all of these in canon EW considering the game has to crammed so many things. But in a hypothetical garlean expansion, or in the next expansions, I think this scenario would fit well enough.
