No plans on playable bugbears at the moment, but I like the idea!
Is hardened harrow deck counted as fine one, for EXPERIENCED HARROWER's cost negation?
I would rule yes at my table.
Hi, Luis. I hope you've been well. Here's my question. In a hypothetical Mythic book for 2e, I know you wouldn't be the arbiter on this, I'm more just asking about personal opinion. Would you want the mythic paths to be more generic like in 1e, (hierophant, guardian, marshal, etc), or would you want them to be centred around certain creature themes like in the Wrath of the Righteous CRPG (like angel, azata, or aeon)?
Also, completely different topic. Have you watched Guardians Vol. 3? If you did, what did you think? I personally would rate it above the second but below the first.
Since 2E mythic is actually coming, I'm going to be coy about that first question, since I think it will give away what's coming!
I did watch Guardians 3! I quite liked it. I think it comes down to 1>2>3 for me. They're all really great movies, though, so the rankings are liable to shift continuously, since I think they're all pretty much around the same level of quality.
The real question is where would the first railroad be built, and who would build it? And where is the AP about it? :-)

Is there a plan to add a Vehicle containing passengers on a railway in Golarion? Minecart excluded.

Right now, something like a railroad feels just a bit outside of the kind of technology we'd include in Golarion, even in other parts of the world outside of the Inner Sea. Not to say that it couldn't happen, but it would definitely be a big event, probably tied to an adventure. For now, if you want some railroad fun, I'd say that placing it near Alkenstar would work or some place with high magic if you want something more magitek.
Will any future books feature asian themed classes or archtypes or backgrounds perhaps? Such as Ninja, Samurai, Wu Jen, Shrine Maiden, and the like?
I'm also curious if Rougaru will be in Howl of the Wild? They sounded like a very cool race in PF1E and I've seen no anthro wolf races unless its a beastkin.
Also one question for funsies. Who would win in a fight: Azlin Rex from Ravenloft (D&D) or Tor-Baphon? (I think that's how you spell his name?)

I thought Drow were removed because its a D&D race and ORK/Paizo wants to avoid copyright stuff and OGL fiasco?

New classes only show up in rulebooks. Tian Xia Character Guide has some new character options, some of which are new class options, but they're not exactly the examples you mentioned.

They will not. We've already announced all of the ancestries showing up in Howl. They're the athamaru (previously known as locathah), awakened animal, centaur, merfolk, minotaur, and surki (new insectile ancestry). A beastkin, an awakened animal, or werecreature archetype will get you closer to a rougaru, but for now, we don't have any announced plans for rougarus.
Also one question for funsies. Who would win in a fight: Azlin Rex from Ravenloft (D&D) or Tor-Baphon? (I think that's how you spell his name?)
Sorry to say that I don't really know much about Ravenloft other than some of the basic details of the setting. At a glance, it feels like Tar-Baphon would ultimately come out on top, mostly because of the difficulty of destroying his soul cage.

Drow are absolutely gone and aren't coming back.

How can you say there is no reason? Dude they are a D&D race through and through. Paizo wants to avoid WOTC/Hasbros frankly, scumbag tactics with the OGL stuff.
Drow as Drow are gone. Doesn’t mean that elves that live in the Darklands are gone.
Should just name the drow something else entirely now and change their appearance. Are Drow in Pathfinder still connected to spiders?

There's no Drow in Pathfinder. Sky King's Tomb #3 details the Darklands canon going forward - they were a rumor made up by an early Pathfinder, and Serpentfolk are the main baddies down below, now.

Drow don't exist in Golarion and it's as if they never existed. Going forward, ayindilar elves will fulfill any Darklands elves needs and mechanically, you can play a cavern elf to scratch that "elf that lives in the dark" itch. Any further discussion on ayindilars, drow, and so on should probably be in its own thread!
What of the video games? Wrath of the Righteous has that drow you encounter. Will those follow different "rules" per say?

Don't you mean "There's no Drow in Pathfinder NOW"? Did the PFE1 drow have a connection to spiders?
Hey Luis, I had a question about hags in Monster Core. I know y'all talked about how the hags would reflect more heavily on folklore, with the Cuckoo Hags being the most motherly and "birdcage the child" ones, the Sweet Hags being the "Hansel and Gretel" gingerbread house kind, and Sea Hags being the "Little Mermaid" Ursula kind of hags. My question is, which folklore will the Iron Hags be pulling from? I'm not familiar with any overly-physical hags in fiction or folklore, so I was curious of what tales y'all would be pulling from (also decided to ask, since heavy coverage of hags already happened, so not sure when the next chance to ask this would be).
The iron aspects of them (teeth, claws) are a reference to Baba Yaga. In folklore, she's often noted as having iron teeth. The whole bit about kidnapping children and locking them in towers draws from Rapunzel.
So Iron Hags would be kidnapping them and locking them up, or is that a general Hag aspect? Or maybe an aspect for the Cuckoo Hags? 'Cause I was thinking of Rapunzel for them, honestly.

If iron hag is replacing D&D's annis hag, it may also be taking from the same inspiration, Black Annis.
