So having clever writing give you a difficult decision on whether to liberate ala mhigo or leave it under the control of the imperials isn't an option? 4.0 is a good opportunity to see the lives of people under imperial rule first hand. Ala Mhigo has been under imperial rule for a decade, the country could have benefited from this with technology and better living, and some people might not want independence. This could lead into a mini civil war, in which the player can choose which side they are on. Slightly long winded, but it shows that you don't have to be an imperial to choose a side.

Also... alliance content has been in so many MMOs, FFXI included, and yoshi P even said that open world PVP could be considered if there is enough demand and lore justification.
