You guys obviously haven't been around SE for long or played FFXI... Making sure the Japanese players are happy always comes first. Heck the only reason ARR got made was to protect the Japanese players opinion of the brand. I can't necessarily blame them, the JP's are fanatical about their FF games and they sell 10x the copies of each and every one over there vs. over here. US and other regions have never been a priority for this company.
