We should ally with the Garleans

[Xanikk999]

The closet thing we could get is something so dire that we have to team up with the empire for the benefit of both sides, kind of like the situation with Duelhorn from Final Fantasy Tactics A2, but I wouldn't expect anything beyond that since the story is going to be linear regardless.

Well it doesn't have to be that way. I can see us working as mercenaries for the empire or going undercover. That would be more interesting.
