Question for those who watch the JP Side of the OF

[Nanaho]

For anyone who tracks the Japanese side to the Official forums i ask, because obviously we have many people who are unhappy with the types of things gone into the recent patch for the Cash Shop.

what's the opinion of the Japanese player base? is it quiet or are they raising there own concerns about it also?

We've had 0 response from Yoshi-P that I've seen (And if he has please point me to a source to see what he says about it) about how the Cash shop is being handled other then his introduction to it.

So I'm just curious, what does it take to get him to respond to all the money grubbing in a Pay to play game?

My Japanese is not perfect, but from what I can tell they are discussing it but the volume of threads is much lower. However, many of them are long, so they may simply be exercising more thread discipline (not starting 100 different threads about it like this forum). Concerns seem similar, although from what I can gather I think people are still _mostly_ concerned about sort of traditional P2W (gear that gives battle advantage, class abilities, etc) although some are unhappy with marriage system, etc.

Couple of cash shop threads:

More than a vocal minority.
