The challenges with playing Garleans are the obvious ones: You're playing a villain-type, in a world with hundreds and hundreds of hero-types. If you operate in the open against people, you effectively cut yourself off from world-RP because you are firmly in The Enemy category. If you don't, and work in the shadows, you are stuck with... Not really roleplaying your character.
The biggest issue villain roleplayers will run into is that the hubs and general gathering spots are full of good-aligned heroes. Once your cunning plan goes into effect, you can generally expect to become an Acceptable Target for folks looking to stomp out the Garlemald Problem.
We've got a few long-running Garlean roleplayers, but I'm 99% sure the secret to their success has been never openly pointing out the fact that they're Garlean. Trust a few folks if you're truly sympathetic to Eorzea, or accept your place as a publicly-identified Monster of the Week.
