In my diggings through the archives (yes, I am aware of the search function), I noticed a few posts that mentioned something similar in passing, but I don't think this specifically was delved into, so..
At this point it seems highly likely that Griffith will manage to take over Midland and become king. I can't honestly see him thinking to himself, "Well, I've taken over the country. I'm satisfied." Assuming that Causality doesn't have other plans (which it probably does... but then again, I do recall Griffith being described as 'living outside the story'), he could end up doing a few different things:
1) Attempt to conquer other nations and aquire greater power. This seems like the simplest conclusion to me.
2) Turn his attention inward and attempt to make great changes in Midland. I can't really see him doing this, as it would require him caring about how the popluace of his country lives their lives.
3) If Griffith wants power in order to understand his own existence and his destiny in the world and, upon becoming king, he still doesn't understand this, he might continue on to greater things - such as the hypothesis that Griffith will eventually challenge Godhand and/or the Idea.
The third option could result in either success or failure, depending on whether you think he is the Ultimate Strong One (who lives outside of the story etc.) or not.
Personally, I think he will challenge Godhand and fail, but that is, as one would expect from the name of this board, just speculation.
So what do you think Griffith will do once he becomes king? Or will something (Godhand, Guts, Skully, whoever) interfere before he actually gets there?
