Sums up the Empire:

Yea straight priorities.

Like world conquest.

Everything boils down to Chaos and Order.

We are Chaos, Garleans is Order.

It's all about perspective. Garleans could be doing it for the greater good. Like Dr. Doom in Marvel, he wants to dominate the world because he saw all the futures of Earth. The only future that survived was the one where he ruled the Earth.

Let's not use real-world examples though.

Empires

Sums up why I'd like to do the same, there's something about an empire that fascinates me as well. If I were to rp I'd be happy to just be some guy who fights in an imperial army, The unity and the grandiose structure that comes with it is cool to me. Plus I imagine garlemald being similar to Arcadia from XII in that at the end of the day it's just another nation with identifiable people living in it's borders.

Sums up the Empire:

Enemies are enemies, Eorzean city states would do the same thing in war.

If the Empire's leadership knew the truth of went down at Carteneau, they'd probably be down with wiping out every living thing on the continent. Just saying.

Wars are nasty, No doubt there would be cases, not every soldier is going to have a shed of care about the people they kill if they are on the opposing side. Interrogations of captive prisoners would likely feature torture as well.

This was actually the norm throughout most of human history, either that or selling the population into slavery. What evidence do you have that Eorzea would be any different?
