Nations who resist Imperial rule face a harsher regime than those who willingly accept or surrender to the Garleans. I think this will be one of the larger themes explored in the upcoming Stormblood expansion - seeing Ala Mhigo's unwilling occupation contrasted against Hingashi's quiet obedience. Not that Hingashi's cities - Bukyo and Kugane - really have much choice in the matter, considering the Garlean Empire has already wiped two of Othard's larger city-states off the map.Â
Do we actually know that Hingashi is under Garlean control? I know we see soldiers in Kugane in the trailer that appear to be Garlean, but that's a city that is apparently open for trade with other nations, including, perhaps, Garlemald. Pretty much the only things we know about Hingashi is that it's isolationist, and it would be hard to say that about a country that's under imperial rule, wouldn't it?
Also, you mentioned in another post that the Domans tried to go to Hingashi and were turned away before they went to Eorzea (do we know that for certain, btw?). Would they seek haven in a state already ruled by Garleans, the people who just tried to wipe them out?
I'm desperately trying to find any scraps of information on Hingashi that I can because I want to make a samurai character from that country, but the information I'm reading seems very conflicting.
