Who wouldn't?Here's my issue though: sure he wants his homeland free, but he's done literally nothing to work toward that goal. As a matter of fact, by betraying the Crystal Braves he's worked explicitly against a unifying force of Eorzea which is the only thing that will ever get Ala Mhigo back.
He means well but has become a villain because he see no other way. Like Dr. Doom from marvel.
It's just my opinion that if all it takes to be morally grey is to have feelings the term kind of loses all meaning.
We don't know who Ilberd is actually working for, and what they have promised him. In fact FFXIV does a good job about keeping the player in the dark about many things.
On the surface though, yeah, he's shooting himself in the foot. Though logically, even a united Eorzea would stand little chance against the full might of Garlemald.
