you guys do realize that 1) there are other regions and 2) the JP have the most pull on any subject right?
just because people here are one way or the other , it might be the complete opposite in all other regions.

Economically speaking, the Japanese don't have enough pull on these subjects because quite simply, the majority of the FFXIV users right now are non-Japanese. Let's see...Japanese Island Nation? Check.
Australia? Europe? Britain? North America? South America? Greece?
Check, Check, Check, Check, Check, and friggin' Check.
The only case where Japanese players would have "more" pull than non-Japanese is simply because of their culture and human tendency to place greater weight to native-speakers than non-native speakers.
I'm sure Yoichi Wada and Naoki Yoshida are not so stupid as to alienate such a large revenue source.
Please business man tell us more about demographics and how they work, the world is watching, and so is ...

Greece, Britain and Europe? You realize that's like saying Tachikawa, Tokyo and Japan?
Just fyi aside from mostly GB and Scandinavia, maybe also Germany most European countries don't speak very well English, so these countries aren't well represented on these forums. The French and the Germans have their own sub-forum. I am going to remake your statement to mostly NA, many Europeans, some Australians and some South Americans.
And just so you know it for good and bad, each choice SE takes as a company is always conscious about what their japanese consumers opine. After all the Japanese market has always been loyal and successful for SE, and the highest density of players per square mile lies in Japan as well.
