I do have to agree on Garlemald taking things much more seriously starting at some point in the 4.x parts. By the end of 3.0 they have lost multiple Legatus, large chunks if not almost all of two legions as well as some hurt put on a third. By the end of Stormblood they will at the very least be put on the defensive in two seperate regions that prior had been safely under their control, as well as possibly lost yet another Legatus. It wouldn't surprise me if we start getting introduced to many more Legatus and the like via cuts to Garlemald in the 4.x patches.

I actually wonder, if we don't go to Garlemald in 5.0 how much might be us having to defend from a true Garlean push back into Eorzean and probably Doman territory. Might gives us a reason to try and get Tiamat out of her chains.
