So, obviously Koana is a Machinist. My question is how...
Machinists did not really exist until the WoL progressed their plot during Heavensward, assisting Stephanivien. At the time, they were obscure, niche, new, and suppressed until WoL does the WoL thing and launches them into the future - removing all obstacles.
Stephanivien's purpose was to arm the commonfolk (of Ishgard) to assist the Knights in the Dragonsong War. Considering time frames are hazy at best, I think it can be safe to assume Koana was still at Sharlayan during this time or long before this time.
Sharlayan is arguably just as isolationist as Ishgard was, at the time - so I dont see how Koana could have picked up Machinist tech and teachings from there.
Does anyone know if there's a lore reason for how Koana became a Machinist in this context? It kinda bugs me, just a little.
