Q: 4.) What is the design and storyline team's feelings WRT greater involvement with gaijin cultures like the Ivory Kingdoms, the Burning Sands, and wherever Alhundro Cornejo came from? Would you prefer to see Rokugan remain isolationist, or are the Yodotai planning to invade next week?
A: I can't speak for the whole team, but personally, too many outsiders could easily dilute the samurai epic feel of the game. Jeff Alexander, "post for 30 October 2001", 31 Oct 2001
