This would make there be more room for intrigue and depth in a potential Ala Mhigan expansion since we'd want to eliminate the fanatically loyal Garleans and the fanatically loyal Ala Mhigans. Both will no doubt risk the lives of innocents in the name of their respective causes and at this point Ala Mhigo is full of both Ala Mhigans and Garleans - many of which may very well be friends.

Or at least I'd hope that would be the case. When Rabanastre was taken over by the Archadian Empire there was a lot of tension, yes, but many citizens came to admire, respect and even befriend the Archadians in the process. It certainly wasn't black or white and I hope the situation in Ala Mhigo isn't either.
I don't know. There are a few sides to this but the more messy it is the more drama. I would like to see a different perspective of Garlean occupation but on the flipside the stuff the Garleans did when they took over is something that would be dumb to whitewash. My memory of FF12 is a little old but I don't remember the Achadian Empire treating Rabanastre in anything close to the same way, ie. brainwashed conscripts killing their families, slave labour and forced prostitution.

As for the Ala Mhigan resistance, I don't think its a singular body but a lose collection of allied groups. I suspect the guys at little Ala Mhigo would have major issues with Ilberd since he murdered one of their number, Wilred.
