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.
