I do think yeah Dragon Empires book could have used more writers with cultural background.
There was bit too much of "ninjas and samurai everywhere!". I mean yeah I get the idea was that just like with Avistan the countries are mix of different nations, but Japanese influences were most obvious ones visually <_<
Agreed. I would have liked more focus on the non-Japanese cultures.
One thing I do really like about Tian-Xia though is that there is a good mix of non-human ruled nations, which I really wish was there was more of in the Inner Sea (I guess we got a little bit of that with the addition of Oprak).
And yeah I do dislike Bachuan as well. I really don't like it when Paizo goes way beyond the Late Medieval Period and puts in fashion, technology and ideologies from the 18-20th centuries. It's jarring and makes the setting look incoherent.
Agree with some of this but not the "Cultural background" sorry Tian Xia is HEAVILY japanese mythos all round lmfao thats exactly what it needs, only reason most people I know spammed that setting. Introducing more background bs is going to just smother it or flat out not make it Tian Xia anymore like what happened with some of the other stuff, I dunno we'll see. Would actually like Daikitsu to get some actual attention too, plenty of content and she didnt get so much as a sketch of wtf she looks like and is missing boons/curses and all kinds of stuff, really the only gods I care about from the "Core" stuff is Desn, Shelyn, and Lamashtu bout it.
