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

[CyrilLucifer]

As Unukalhai is from the 13th, he's much older than he appears.

Can we have some background as to why he's so stunted in his emotional growth?

[FJerome]

So what is the relationship between Fyrgeiss and the twins Popokkuli and Seserukka? Is he their father? Step-father? Employee? Sworn nemesis who stole control of Amajina & Sons from their family?

[CaesarCV]

What do you consider the greatest challenge in Localization? What is your biggest regret in the current state of the translation?

[Sounsyy]

In Stormblood, a couple NPCs (Yomogi and Tsuranuki) date Garlemald's War of Succession, Lord Kaien's death, and Yugiri's exodus to Eorzea as occurring one year ago. Have we finally gotten a canon extension of the Simpson's time bubble? Are we finally in the 2nd Year of the Seventh Astral Era?

Many people adored all of the Xaela lore we received in the Azim Steppe! It was very interesting and I loved the Mongolian influence that was sprinkled throughout. Are there any plans to introduce lore from the Xaela tribes we didn't get to see in Stormblood in future content?

[Calibur097]

Stormblood introduced 2 new primals, one from Hinduism (Lakshmi) and from Shinto (Susanoo). Will there be more new primals based from this 2 mythologies? I'm specially interested if Amaterasu will make an appearance.

[WanderingStar]

Do Sharlayan laws legally permit the casting of voidmagics as it appears they willingly summoned voidsent to guard the Gubal Library in their absence?

[erroch]

Can we get a quick one or two sentence descriptions of the Seeker tribes and the cannon Keeper families like we did for the Xeala here: link?

[erroch]

A localization question: Given the differences in scopes of the languages, has there been anything important, lore or story wise, that you feel does not have a satisfactory direct English equivalent from the original Japanese text? If so how did you go about handling this and deciding what to introduce into the English text in it's place.

[FrightfulNight]

I heard it already mentioned in this thread that Susano's summoning was unconventional, but something that i have been wondering is if he a primal or actually a Kami. also is he the first Summon from Bravely Default.
