Garlean weaponry is very powerful, but SE has done a very clear job of showing that those who can control Aether are just as powerful and able to deflect/nullify magitek.
How much of a force was dedicated to conquering Ala Mhigo? Is it known? At least in MSQ it gives the impression that if the entire might of the empire was thrown against a single nation, they win. They don't because of want to expand quickly...and if anyone played starcraft, a-moving your entire army is rarely the smart choice for a lasting empire XD
