If they make a Democracy, it would only serve to probably change the current system and solidify the unity of the masses, because money will no longer rule the voice of the people but publicly elected and represented individuals who when they put into power, will help right the wrongs the merchant class has inflicted on the lower class of society.

You are assuming the 'merchant class' will go quietly into the sunset and let your view of Democracy take over.
What more than likely will happen is there will be no Democracy. The state will still be ruled by a governing Syndicate of merchants, but with no royalist opposition. Not true Democracy, but a Republic.
Either way, I still don't think it will happen. Eorzea is too primitive for it to work. With such a threat as the Empire on their boarders, strong central leadership is required to make split decisions and Democracy is the slowest and weakest form of government out there.
