Yes, there's bad apples - but that applies to every region. The whole 'Might Makes Right' approach played out with the British and Roman Empires in our own world and neither Empire was 'evil' or completely without redeeming qualities. Both have also left a long lasting impact upon the cultures of the lands they conquered throughout history - and even some of those that they didn't conquer. Garlemald is likely to be in a similar scenario from what we know.

One second so you are saing that Ala mhigans are the bad ones while Garlemand is doing this for the righteous way? hahahaha...no

Lets agreed just for a second on this. Eorzea is not a saint either. We had a corrupt city where gil is power, and poor is treated like bugs. A place full of pirates where bandalism has no stop and racial problems agaisnt beast tribes. A place full of treehuggers with xephofopic problems agaisnt outcasts, another place with a very dark and emdieval religion that oblitares anyone that express "libery of speech" and lied about the origin of a war, anf then a place full of fighters that had a mad king.

Whats the difference here?

That at least Eorzea admited this problems, and there is good ppl tring their best to solve it and make a better way. Ishgard couldnt be a better example.
Whats with Ala Mhigo? well we know good Ala mhigas that sure will take a bigger role on the coming expansion.


Garlemand has nothing on this, they conquer for pleasure and subjugate anyone, like any militari dictatorship does They are right on the way to become the next allagans and provoke their same mistakes.
So far we have meet no one taht admit this and wants to solve it.

There to two people so far have defected.

You need to understand this Theodric, well you can say whatever you like of garlemand culture or their people. But admit that their actual goverment is not good at all. A militar dictatorship will ALWAYS be marked as evil.
