Jullius, since they are making him "look" like he's in charge, just make him new Empror so he has a Happy-ish ending in all of this.
Maxima, just because hes handsome and looks cool, plus he was an advisor, so just make him Emperor....just cause
Make Lucia leave Ishgard all of a sudden because she misses home and hates to see it in the state its in. And cause RA-RA Feminism

I jest, but at the same time.....rofl

A well developed Larsa, and Ashe, etc. In FFXIV's case I think the most competent surviving leader would be Gaius, and I could easily picture a scenario in which he takes the throne.
I knew you'd still say Gauis even after its been established he kind of cant return. Not yet at least.
And...who is to say he won't suddenly make Garlamald into something you hate since he effectively defected and left?
Also...the Eorzea Alliance tried to do that already, nobody wanted to listen and justified their expansion and killing. And then just flipped it and said "Well you killed and expanded to"
