SpoilerI am actually kinda happy the Sultana is about to relinquish her right to being a monarch in order to establish a democracy and abolish the merchant overlord class. I know that I OOCly and ICly despised them with every ounce of my being so if it ever comes down to where the merchant lord's refuse to relinquish their power because they are greedy monetarists even when the sultana gives hers up to create a democracy, I can guarantee ill be hunting some merchant lords because of it three months or so from now.    ._.
On a side note. I am actually kinda happy they did something with Ishgard. We got alot of important and juicy lore pieces from the developers. This of course though means that my original theory of the big baddy for the 3.0 series wont be Nidhogg but may be the lake Dragon, for the life of me whose name I cannot remember, died fighting Garleans and caused the world Aether to explode or something. Theoretically, this means we may also have to contend with two foes for 3.0, Nidhogg and that Demigod lake dragon.
We could also near the end of 3.0 seeing the resurgence of Garlean efforts to conquer Eorzea so theoretically 4.0 and forward will probably be seeing alot of fighting against the Garleans. Thats only if the current emperor solidified his seat of power within the empire by then.
On a separate note though, I wasn't all that surprised that the Merchant Lords were conspiring with the Garleans. They probably had a backdoor deal going on where when Eorzea was conquered, the merchant lords would probably be made regional lord's over Eorzea.
Thats not the only reason it didn't surprise me. By the time we got this to be confirmed story cannon this update, the developers had already painted this picture of them being extremely, self-centered, selfish, petty and very greedy tyrants so it made sense they would side with Garlemald because of their advanced technology and far larger numbers in their army's.
I dont think all the merchant lords are evil or support the Garleans. I would like to make an example that the Rahuban (or what the muscle heads name is) formed a military based on solely protecting Ul'dah from her enemy's. Likewise, there was the other Lalafell merchant lord, for the life of me his name escapes but he isn't lolorito but he was mentioned in 2.2 or 2.3, also didnt show extreme signs of being corrupt or greedy like most of the merchant overlords, so I see a pattern of Good (Rahubahn) Neutral (Lalafell merchent overlord I cant remember) and Evil (lolorito) but most tend to fall in the Neutral or Evil zone.
