Is anyone else dying to get to Garlemald?

[Kyran-Varlsen]

Yah, the Empire does sound a bit crummy when you put it that way. If all we are going to deal with in the Capital are stuck-up elites and brainwashed citizens then why bother?

If we really do want to visit a far-out city with cool magitek wonders with a dose of isolationism then I think the city-state of Sharlaya might be a better spot for such. They were the civilization that made the Defense Mech Alexander and Idlyshire, so if we got off a boat and stepped into a city with glowing (possibly stone) skyscrapers, cars, and fashionable clothing then I probably wouldn't blink.

I also think that of the two nations, the Sharlayans are probably the faction more likely to have developed Blitzball.

So I will put myself down as not eager to go the Garlemald unless

A) There is a cool Game of Thrones-esque story around the throne we get to head.

or

B) They are the only ones with Blitzball.
