The Garlean question. Â On one end, things seem to be ramping up to war, and a lot of terrible shit can be excused for war and the plight of forefathers. Â I'm not sure what I'll think of it. On one hand I get the desire to be left alone, one the other, the atrocities and bloodshed make me hesistant on seeing what Eorzea's newfound aggression will turn us into towards them and perhaps towards each other.
I would not so much consider it aggression. More like, some idiots went and kicked the Empire in the teeth, and now the rest of us will probably have to suffer for their misguided sense of patriotism.
"THE EMPIRE WITH A MILITARY FORCE OF MAGITEK Â AND ROBOTS HAS MORE MAGITEK AND ROBOTS! HOW COULD WE HAVE FORESEEN THIS!?!?!!?"
It's pretty silly, yeah, since I think that very reasoning is WHY Eorzea's kind of walking on eggshells around the Garlean Empire thus far. They know that they could barely hold off one Legion, let alone however many others the Empire has either sitting around or on patrol elsewhere. Garlemald is a problem, but it's not really something the Alliance can deal with as it is - even with Ishgard on its side again. So random acts of patriotism that rile up the sleeping beast are very much not a good idea.
So, I suppose it makes sense that we're going to be trying and reclaim Ala Mhigo and Doma. After all, should the inevitable happen thanks to these antics (and we more or less know a confrontation of some sort is happening 5.0, whether this is the spark that starts the chain reaction or not), the Alliance is going to want to have more manpower and superior attack vectors to assault the Empire with. Maybe even get some early gains by chipping away at the remaining Legions piecemeal so that if/when they're called to action, they're already weakened or maybe even wiped out.
