The Garlean Empire aren't trying to commit genocide or wipe out Eorzea (unless you count Nael), they're ultimately trying to save it even if their methods are incredibly extreme. From what we know so far Garlemald is to some extent aware of the existence of the Ascians, and they are also opposed to the Primals. Both of which are things we the players are directly opposed to, so if they weren't so... tyrannical... they'd actually make fantastic allies.(08-22-2013, 03:32 PM)Ashren Snow Wrote: ...No need to be aggressive or defensive about it. Gercho makes a good point, to some degree, about being run out of business if Garlemald took over, though the Garlean Empire has made use of free agents in the past (they did so during the story of 1.0) so it goes without saying they aren't above paying Eorzean mercenaries. If your mercenary group didn't take the job, someone else would which is why I just pointed out that a group that only cared about making profit and not about borders or morality probably wouldn't pass up work even if it was from Garlemald....
I don't think any aggression was intended there, but yeah. No point in making a profit if you're just going to lose it when you're being stomped by your previous employer later. It did cross my mind that Garlemald would try to hire them on, it just seems like too dangerous a deal for them to take.
So long as your company didn't directly interfere with them I highly doubt they'd bother with you. For all we know, the people on Othard (the first continent the conquered after their own) are living happy, meaningful lives free of Beastmen and Primals. We just view them as evil because they're a foreign force trying to invade us.
