And while we had VII representation with the Weapons trials in Werlyt, that doesn't mean that we need Garleans involved at all to have a Shinra-esque villain to hit up any references that haven't already been covered- though Aulus and the other Garlean mad scientists have covered everything but the actual super-soldier program of SOLDIER (unless idk you count Nael and Zenos), M'zhet Tia had Nanaki's plotline and BLU for Cosmos Canyon.
I am talking about a Future expansion after 7.0. Not the 7.0 expansion being about the stranded Garleans left in the New World when Garlemald fell..

With so much of the New World we have not access to yet, they can easily focus each section or two of the New World for each expansion which we do know among them do have Garleans left stranded there after Garlemald fell. This open up one of expansion in the future to be maybe FF7 themed in a way if a certain region already gone through massive Garlean Influence before events of FF14.
