At least, it would be the first time I've seen a JP dev show concern over player completion speed, IE, Nintendo's open worry about early Splatoon players hitting level cap in a few days, when they expected it to take weeks to months.
Which wouldn't be a problem except for everything that is locked behind the MSQ.
