PAX West 2017 - Questions for English Localization Lead Michael-Christopher Koji Fox

[Belhi]

We see a number of tall skinny enemies in the Kugane castle dungeon, including Yojimbo. Is this a race native to Hingashi? We also Tengu? A Hingashi beast tribe?

[Belhi]

Deep in the Lochs we see buildings that look like Fortifications. They don't really seem to be intentionally part of the aquaduct system. What are they and why were they built down there?

[Zohar_Lahar]

How did the Great Flood and earlier calamities affect the Far East? Were there any arks built there?

[Cilia]

Between the Mock-up Grynewaht Minion's description and the Journal entry, it's heavily implied that Hypertuning involves cybernetic augmentations. Is this explicitly true, or is it exclusive to Grynewaht, since the Hypertuned enemies in Castrum Abania do not visibly have the same augmentations? If it is false, what is Hypertuning, exactly?

Will Aulus' research facility in the Ala Mhigan Quarter be put to further use?

Does Varis have access to Aulus' research? If he disapproved of Zenos' activities, why did he not put a stop to them? He had to have known, either through remote monitoring or the Frumentarium.

Also, since we know that cybernetics are totally a thing... cyberarm for Raubahn? (Gotta ask again...)

[Cilia]

Number XXIV is clearly a heavily modified Garlean soldier / test subject. What in the Seven Hells was Inferno?

[Unittj]

We got a huge amount of Xaela culture and history from the Azim Steppe. What event drove the Raen away and why does it seem the Xaela don't acknowledge their existence? Do the villagers of Sui-no-Sato connect to the Raen who left the Steppe? Or from the Age of Blood?

[Unittj]

Is the Age of Blood that created the samurai and the Age of Strife that brought ninjutsu to Doma the same historical event?

[Unittj]

Will we get a Far Eastern lore book

[AvalonBright]

Any word on the second edition of the encyclopedia, hopefully with a LOT of info on the continent of Othard as a whole, and the rest of Hingashi?

[AvalonBright]

When will we see some Keeper lore in game, with how un-represented they are--especially compared to more Seekers in every expansion!
