Ask Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XXVII! (Localization Koji Fox)

[Fianath]

Throughout the Shroud, we have references to a language unique to the Padjali, eg Toto-Rak, Tam-tara, Issom-Har, etc. As Padjal arise exclusively from Hyuran families and are raised as such until they are confirmed to be Padjal, how did the Padjali language originate? Is it derived from the elementals themselves, or was it passed down from the Amdapori or pre-Amdapori civilizations?

About the hunts, recently ever since 3.1 came out, hunting has become more active again. However, so many people tend to pull very early without waiting for others to show up, which can be very frustrating to other players that want to upgrade their gear/accessories and complete their Anima Weapons (due to long loading times depending on their internet connections), and unfortunately adding more HP on A and S rank hunts alone isn't enough, in my opinion. Could you add a feature that prevents them from pulling so early or at least Level/Item Level sync each A and S rank hunts for each region?

In 3.2 the Vath will have their daily quests to complete. I wonder, what sort of creatures do the Vath use as their mounts or pack mules? Or do the Vath construct sort-of mechanical mounts to tow them and their wares around?
We haven't seen any creature or item that looks like it would be used by the Vath as a mount, I was wondering what they used ^^.

I'll put these two romantic-themed questions down to Valentione's day being less than a month away!


Miqo'te Seekers
Assuming they were reared in a tribal environment, how would miqo'te typically revere one another? With regard attraction, would the females be great admirers of strength and possibly determine a male's worth by their prowess as a hunter culturally? Or would they perhaps be more family orientated and have a more "modern" approach to whom they are attracted while treating everyone, including Tias, with the same level of respect?

In addition, would females be considered more important in the tribal "hierarchy" for being more numerous, or perhaps the males for being less?


Au Ra
Considering the diverse position, shape and size of some Auri horns, would they typically have a different manner of showing one another affection in place of how we treat kissing? Such as meeting foreheads and/or locking horns?


MSQ Spoilers 2.55-3.0:
I suppose I'll also add that, during the wrap-up of the Ul'dahn affairs in the 3.0 storyline, the conclusion seemed to have implied that Raubahn's sole role in the whole scheme was merely to serve as Lolorito's tool to get rid of Teledji Adeledji, though prior to this it was suggested that Lolorito's plan after manipulating the conspiracy to his own gain was to remove both Teledji and Raubahn in one fell swoop - but he just sees him reinstated to his former role in the end. On it's own it felt like something was missing, though Lolorito has proven himself to be exceptionally cunning behind the scenes and there remains the possibility that there is more to it than we are as of yet aware. Can we expect to see more developments surrounding the Ul'dahn troubles and Lolorito's involvement or has that been more or less wrapped up with 3.0?

Of all the Heavensward themes, which one is your favorite so far?

Expanding White Magic

White Mage seems to be one of the few Jobs in the game where the player character is made to be "the only person who has this power" (that is - you're the only non-Padjal to be gifted the ability to use White Magic.) I understand that this is mainly because of the Great Flood. However, its still kind of limiting within the game world when considering powerful Conjurer characters that might be adventurers but not the Warrior of Light.

What specifically was it that the Amdapori did with their White Magic that led to it being forbidden in the first place?

And is there a possibility for this to change in the future - making it so that non-Padjal have access to White Magic once more? Or even possibly for powerful and well studied Conjurers to be accepted as White Mages alongside the Padjal?

The Monk questline from 3.0 was very interesting, because it touched on the seven 'shadow' chakras. Since the monk quests from 2.0 reminded me a lot of the seven upper chakras and the 3.0 of the lower, I wanted to ask for some clarification on something.

Are the fourteen monk chakras a mirror of the seven chakras of higher consciousness (mulhadara, etc) and the seven lower chakras (atala, etc), and if so, are they located at the same areas of the body as the 'real life' counterparts?

As a roleplayer, I've taken the time to flesh out my monk's story by relating the chakras to what I know of the Hindu teachings. Of course, I've messed with it a little for it to fit in the world of Hydaelyn, but it would be awesome to know if that's what the lore/localization team did as well. If you're curious, you can find the writings here!

To add on onto this! Do Monks rather go to the Chinese Ying and Yang principle rather then the Hindu teachings? Or all we all off, and you all got something very different in mind for the teachings of the Fists?
