We should ally with the Garleans

[VargasVermillion]

Sure, stuff has happened in the past. However what happening now is Garlemald is the one causing the issues. If it was Ala Mhigo or Ishgard or even any of the starting three nations we would probably be opposing them. Technically we sort of do with Ishgard.

If Garlemald stopped attacking everyone, messing with things they shouldn't be and causing most of the problems we probably wouldn't be treating them as enemies.

Or the political issues surrounding the city states will get more apparent as time goes on and they decide to war with eachother due to lack of a common enemy to distract them from animosity they may have.

Save for the Autumn War the City States haven't really warred with each other much prior to the Garleans turning up.

Speaking of real life parellels that reminds me.. That period is probably a direct reference to the warring states period in ancient Chinese history which was itself a period of war between different city states like in Eorzea's past.

And to expand on that this period only ended when the Qin, who were a foreign power, conquered all the warring states and established the Qin Dynasty. Maybe the Garleans are also a reference to the Qin and whats to come of Eorzea?
