I've suspected that Varis will inevitably propose a temporary alliance at some point with Eorzea and its allies to counteract the Ascians. I don't think either side will be relishing working together though, but needs must and all. Of course, this is assuming the Ascians don't decide to try to dispose of him before this can happen. After all, as long as Elidibus is using Zenos as a live-in corpse puppet, if anything happens to Varis then he's the most likely candidate for succession to the emperor's throne. But I do hope Varis does get to have a chance to get back at the Ascians in some way, no matter what happens. Even if he does live to see the conflict through to the end of the story, he'll probably still need to answer for his actions as emperor in time. While I think he has potential to be an interesting character, it doesn't absolve him of what he's done.
