I heavily dislike it because of various reasons relating to "theme-parkization". Natlan is a tribal nation that was allegedly full of war and strife, yet has a fully functioning theme park, themed around... Themselves. Carnivalization of a culture is actually a colonial product. A culture is turned into a theme park for the enjoyment of a colonial or foreign power, by the foreign power itself. Natlanese resorts based simply around natural culture is much more believable (like hotsprings, for example) but it is not believable for a pre-capitalist society to theme park itself and its own culture for what seems to be a primarily domestic market based on the NPCs on Easybreeze. To understand how bizarre this is, imagine a theme park in the USA based on McDonald's, big dudes in giant Football costumes, and minigames centered around shooting balloons shaped like burgers. Wait... Kind of a good idea. But that's because modern society has commercialized culture itself. No one naturally has a "culture" anymore.
Niggers, and this is not a reddit post. Colonialism is based. I am talking about the immersion and sensibility of the game world, which is absent from 5.8.
