To be honest, I think an assault on Garlemald and patch 5.0 would be a great time to introduce not only a civil war between the Scions, but World PVP; something that's been talked about for a long time. I mean if there's one issue the Scions would be split about, it would be how to treat the Garleans; Cid, Alphinaud, Y'shtola would probably be in favor of trying to save the Garlean people, but Yda, Urianger and Thancred probably would be in favor of a much more aggressive campaign of attack.
