It doesn't sit well with me to see them scatter to the four corners of Etheirys since that would be little more than a soft form of genocide.

I've been dabbling in TESO again lately and it's interesting how much more willing that game is to entertain different perspectives and grant the player character more freedom in how they choose to respond and react to situations.

I do think the lack of distinct factions and meaningful differences between playable races has led to this game becoming rather stale on many fronts. At least certain upcoming MMO's seem to be putting more of a focus on both elements.
I really hope we get to see provinces that are actually still in favor of the Empire. I just hope they don't end up as "the enemy", just another point of view.
I really think it could be interesting to travel with a imperial character, who get to see provinces that dislike the empire, but also some provinces that do like being under it.

As for the races, i totally agree. We have all these back stories about the origins and culture of each races, but Eorzea is such a blend of cultures that this differences doesn't shine.
When i see a Miqo'te, a elezen or hyur in Limsa Lominsa, they are pirate before all. They do not have an independent culture.

My wish would be to have an expansion or storyline focusing on the mistreatment of the Duskwight elezens by Gridania and the elementals.
In Gridania, we are in all manners siding with the persecutors and people committing the discrimination and it always felt weird or it get sidelined.

A duskwight "villain" would have every right to oppose Gridania.
