I'm hoping that the Garlean Empire won't be destroyed. That'd be rather boring and I'd much prefer that Garlemald ends up being like the Archadian Empire of FFXII. Both armies are aggressive and expansive and force rival nations into either being destroyed or made to bend the knee and become part of their empire.
Add some memorable Garlean characters along the lines of Gabranth, Larsa and Drace from FFXII and there's no reason why we can't have a more morally grey rather than morally black insight into Garlean society.
As for the next expansion? I suspect we'll see Ala Mhigo and more 'floating continent' stuff before we hit Garlemald itself. We could even end up going to a completely different area that nobody expects.
