I hope not - I think the Garleans are intriguing enough to have more depth to them beyond 'let's have the cliche rag tag band of unlikely heroes take them all out'. I'd prefer to see something along the lines of the Archadian Empire from FFXII. The rot is removed from the leadership but the place remains fully intact.Â
After all, Garlemald has civilians and spans quite a large amount of land. They're conquerers, yes, but the full might of the Garlean Empire hasn't turned towards Eorzea and...let's be honest - a lot of Eorzea's own problems are caused from within. The recent situation in Ul'dah being a major example.
Even Ala Mhigo - a place a lot of role-players wish to see in-game - used to actively attack the other city states before the Garleans conquered it. Perhaps they did Eorzea a favour in that regard? Perhaps if the Garleans hadn't invaded Ala Mhigo then we'd have seen Ala Mhigo successfully take over the rest of Eorzea.
