We should ally with the Garleans

[hagare]

Who's to say garleans couldn't summon primals? they may not be able to cast spells but nowhere does it mention that ability is needed to summon a primal. Besides the empire could be 'good' by general standards under different leadership, I doubt all garleans think the same way and Varis can't be emperor forever. (unless they wanna go all warhammer 40K on us)

Doesn't matter if those good ones aren't in power. As long as the ones in power call for conquest and ethnic cleansing, we will never be allied with them.

unless you ally with the good ones to overthrow those in power. their Emperor is crazy enough to leave Garlemald so we can assassinate him right here.

That's a possibility too.
But assassinating the emperor only creates a vacuum of power for the evil ones to take advantage of.
We need to ally with the rebels first before doing so.

Assuming there are rebels. There are soldiers that disagree with their COs or Varis, but there's no guarantee they'd be willing to openly rebel, especially to the benefit of theistic Eorzean savages.

It doesn't need to be a rebel (Larsa FFXII)

Larsa is an example of good guy in power.
I haven't seen anyone like that in the empire so far.

We've never had the chance to look at Garlean politics. Moreover, Penelo in FFXII is one of the most hated characters for bringing nothing to the story of the game.

But its actually the reason we can finish the war with Arcadis

, without her i'd doubt we would have met Larsa. She's the link between Arcadia and Rabanastre.
