In a theoretical world where we got a post from Yoshida saying, for example, "suck it up, NA players, UI modifications aren't important to us anymore, I'm the producer, deal with it" (juuuust an example, I don't want this to derail into a discussion of UI mods, I just couldn't think of anything in specific the NA community is interested in that the JP community is not as interested in)... I think we'd see millions of angry forum threads complaining about it and it'd do a lot of damage to a game that needs as much good PR as possible.

Not a plausible solution!
