Thank you kindly, and thank you everyone for your comments.

I am the only native English speaker in my linkshell. While I agree I could romanize everything, it is still difficult for some of my friends to understand what I am saying. Sometimes there is a kanji required, and romanization does not help that.

When I originally posted I must admit that I overlooked how the game was developed on PS2 first, at least if I am not mistaken.
Was it Sony who developed the IME for PS2, or Square-Enix? Or did Square-Enix have a third party (chuckles) develop the IME for use in the japanese version due to it being the initial release?

Also please remember that we all don't know why it was removed, try to be civil
