I think we're going to get a lot of changes moving forward, just because we're not getting it today doesn't mean we wont' get it later down the line and that it isn't being worked on.
The graphical update alone is huge, I don't believe that they'll just stop at that the impression I am getting is that 7.0 is essentially going to be a fresh start of sorts.
So I am expecting more overarching updates.

It's not like they're unaware of issues like the glam system, they're fully aware of it and have mentioned it multiple times before.
So it's clearly something on their minds which I assume they'd want to get around to when given a chance in a reasonable manner.
It makes sense to make the big changes with 7.0 since EW was the conclusion of what started in 1.0, EW needed to be more cohesive with the rest of the game.
With 7.0 tho they'll have a lot more freedom in this regard to make the game look and feel different.

Can we possibly get someone that speaks Japanese & English (I know you guys are here!) to chime in on this on their Japanese social media or JP gen discussion? Everyone says they pay attention to those channels, so could be worth a try. Just need to keep it respectful!

*raises hand*

The JP forums are far less active compared to the English forums for sure.
However, it seems like moderator attention is quicker there because when anything possibly defamatory / harassing is posted it is quickly deleted.
In contrast, personal attacks / snide remarks / negative comments about the devs are largely ignored in the English forums.

This makes me think that moderators definitely pay more attention to the Japenese forums compared to the English forums -- perhaps they are mostly Japanese people? (Yoshi P has said the moderation team is very few in number).

Another thing is complaints are very few in the JP forums and there's a lot of self-policing among the posters.
This can be a problem itself because people will start to hesitate stating their opinions, but I see a lot of "that has already been discussed in an identical thread posted 7 years ago <link>" etc.
Also, a lot of advanced apologies "I am so sorry if this has been discussed in the past, if my idiotic language upsets you I apologize in advance, may my ancestors forgive me for any possible trespass lest I shall committ harakiri..." etc etc.

However, in the recent case with CC and the "over-powered Black Mage" incident, the JP forums erupted with multiple threads about the topic. One thread was specifically "Requesting BLM Downgrade" which was pretty un-characteristically unpolite.
That thread received 33 pages of responses so far, and 83 posts have been deleted, especially in its early days. It seemed like moderators were always hovering over that thread to purge anything negative.
One post only mentioned "Yoshi P plays BLM so he must have been biased." and it was removed shortly after by a mod.

Even then, the amount of commotion resulted in news articles being posted in the media. This likely resulted in the whole letter from Yoshi P.
