We should ally with the Garleans

[Xanikk999]

Eorzea and the Garlean Empire both have a common goal: Elimination of the primal threat forever. Only our means differ.

The Eorzean alliance in some misguided view doesn't want kill the source of the problem, the beastmen. The beastmen as a whole are not friendly with the races of man and will never stop trying to kill us or summon primals. I agree with the empire, genocide all the beastman races and we could work together to do that.

It would be killing two birds with one stone. Stop the incessant beastmen attacks and kill off the primals in one go. I see no need to preserve the beastmen when they are a wholly negative influence on Eorzea.

Sure. What's the massacre of all of your friends and allies between friends, eh?

And this is how a good person slowly becomes an evil monster.

If we ever have an alliance with the Garleans I would be so... happy. I hope we get to go to Garlemald some day in game. The architecture and concept art of the Garlean fortresses are so awesome. Garlean tech and architecture is amazing.

I'd sooner run sas Galvus and van Hydrus through than side with them. Nael and Livia have been dealt with, and Nero has, for lack of a better term, redeemed himself.

The only Garlen I had ever considered Siding with was The Black Wolf, Gaius van Belsar. After spending almost a decade and a half as the sovereign general of Ala Mihgo, attempting to foil the revival of the meteor project, and being quite outspoken against genocidal conquest (Seeming to prefer assimilation like Rome under Julius Caesar) I thoroughly believe under different circumstances Gaius could have been our ally.

Oh, not to mention he was also Cid nan Garlond's surrogate father as well.

Except the genocide of the beastman races would be incredibly unethical? Like the Mamool Ja, Qiqurn, and Goblins seem to be by in large on friendly terms with Eorzea (Though they can't step foot in Ul'dah). There are pockets of Beastmen who are quite reasonable and fine folks as well, and there's a lot of evidence to suggest if Limsa Lominsa would stop breaking the treaties they had with the Kobolds, they probably wouldn't have a reason to summon Titan. Keep in mind the Garleans kind of want to stamp out religion all together.. In Eorzea.. The place that all huddled around in prayer in hopes that the Twelve would save them from Dalamud. That's not gonna fly with the Garleans.

There's a ton of issues with Eorzea allying with Garlemald, Eorzea should never do it.

Well if we are able to damage their army some more and retake Ala Migho we may be able to force some concessions. At that point the Garleans might be willing to work together and spare certain industrious beastmen like the goblins. However until we do enough damage to them I feel they will only accept unconditional surrender.
