    I'm pretty sure they excluded Brazil entirely from their SA references, so...
    Other fellow south americans are memeing about their culture being reduced to tacos and alpacas, and yet I kinda feel like most brazilians would be amused enough to see the sterotypical samba and caipirinha. We didn't even get that. :P

    To be fair, I don't really care. I feel like the excessive worry about culture representation is very missplaced and silly. I'd rather them focus more on making a believable fantasy world instead.

    You'll have to contain with a rain forest and a big river.
    IDK when I hear Brazil I imagine the Amazonas rain forest and the Rio Amazonas.

    Oh yeahhh, there's that...and the HanuHanu resembling macaws, and uh...were the reeds supposed to be sugar cane? Didn't look like it?
    ...was the festival supposed to be an attempt at referencing carnaval? Surely not...?

    I'd rather them give us caipirinhas

    but seriously, I've never been to the Amazonas. It's much more common for foreign tourists to go there than brazilians from other regions. Our country is way too big to reference all of it. I guess they did try, or maybe it's still be another south american culture. Too bad that part of the story and the festival plotline is pretty lame, so all of that "care" thinking of cultural representation doesn't matter at all.

    The map looks great, though.

    Because Brasil is further down. You can check the map and we're been i'm the top half of the continent. Cultural representation is important, Eve more so when You base your fantasy world in ours.
