Minata, an archipelago off the Southwest coast I believe, has some Malay and Filipino influences, but current material doesn't really get in to much Polynesian influence; we'll see if that holds true for when the book comes out, though, as currently there isn't very much about Minata or indeed the continent in general.

I think there is a big audience for an Asia based setting, particularly one made by people of Asian decent, but I'm only guessing.

Is it just me who thinks the picture with the boat race looks very goofy?

Both Paizo and Wizards have been travelling aesthetic paths that leave me cold these past few years. Frostmaiden is the last major RPG release that caught my eye (the adventure was poor, though) . The last Paizo release that appealed was probably the Starfinder Core Rulebook.

These garish entries, framed with PF2s trademark beige/brown colour scheme? No. No siree, Bob.

I've really disliked PF's cover art too, but thankfully I've found the interior art to be varied enough to show they still have everyone's aesthetics in mind.
