Is anyone else dying to get to Garlemald?

[Kallera]

I don't remember saying all of the Ala Mighans were like the resistance, only that the resistance was resorting to horrid means and that Eorzea would be responsible for Shinryu's carnage(which was sadly handwaved for the most part.) It was also discussed in the MSQ that the resistances actions did play a role in how people in Eorzea viewed supporting getting back Ala Mihgo.

And regarding the Imperials, I would see it as a mark of lazy storytelling if the whole of the empire was simply ineffectual soldiers and racism. It simply would not function, and would be going against its own established lore, in that there are places where people's lives went unchanged or improved under the imperial banner.

Fianlly, from an ooc standpoint, not everyone wants to play on the infallible side of magic crystal do gooders that hinge on 4-8 people with special powers to deliver them. It doesn't take much to realize that that shouldn't be sustainable in the long term either yet it is made so because we have no choice but to play on that side.

There's no real need to shame those here that are rooting for the empire, or not wanting to see an example of "freedom at the barrel of a gun". OOC: we are all as players, forced on the same side. and IC: you might to live with them not dying and maybe end up forced on the same side anyway.
