They have a few pirate squabbles here and there, but if the admiral were to give free reign to looting and plundering as someone else mentioned in this thread... then I'm sure they'd happily fall in line and join in with the blockade/raids on any ports.Limsa's biggest problem is that they have to contend with TWO primals. Not just one.
Sure, the same can be said of Gridania somewhat, but while Ramuh is powerful, he's not the kind to start a war against people. He'd rather just have the Sylphs protect their territory and that's it. Hell, Ramuh could be used as an asset by feeding false intelligence to their opponents and have them go through the East Shroud and whoops here's a bunch of tempered Sylphs and Ramuh this was a horrible idea.
Whereas for Limsa it's a war against Leviathan and Titan. Neither of them can be reasoned with. Titan wants justice for his people (because let's not forget Limsa's on stolen soil) and Leviathan's just a dick.
I still think Limsa has the best chance mostly due to the Arcanists' guild and the likely spreading of the Scholars' teachings (who, IIRC, were essentially war strategists anyway) but if they can't contain the Primals they could easily still lose.
