I think the other big difference to previous server shuffles is (correct me if I'm wrong), they've never moved a server from one DC to another before. So it's not really comparable to either the NA shuffle or when they moved european servers. EU servers were still labelled as EU from the start.

I get that no one here really agrees with me, as most people who bother posting here are not in my position. All I can do hope is that SE does consider the fact there there are plenty of Japan residents on Tonberry.
