Well...let's see...
The Magitek devices I've been exposed to in this game carry a variety of forms that are specialty-built for their purpose, and they tend to be on the rather large side. So the first question I would come up with is how the Magitek design has been so compartmentalized as to fit within a more humanoid form.
Second would be how such a wildly advanced prototype would have gotten out of Garlean hands. Granted, Garlemald's foothold within Eorzea isn't what it was, but none of the Castrums in the open map would seem to have facilities to house such a device. Least as I can figure. And I'd suspect a prototype of that level of advancement would be further within the Empire's own borders than worked on at the fringes of an active conquest.
Thirdly is the question of sentience. Now, obviously a level of open will is possible, as was presented in the regular story as it related to the Magitek Armor, but it was never really elaborated upon why the thing acted like a loyal attack dog. I believe it had something to do with what was put in to its core? So perhaps with the right type of core it could be feasible...but then it would perhaps still seem a bit...off somehow. I dunno. Someone more versed than me on the lore of Magitek core technology would need to mull that one over.
It's an interesting idea, but seems to be pushing this game's technological envelope perhaps a bit too far. Just my opinion. Unless, of course, there are some thoughts on the three points I brought up.
