Do devs post on the English forum?

[Shibi]

I've seen SO many issues get addressed that the JP community just didn't care about (to name just a few: Hroth ears, Female Hroth, Male Viera - please correct me if I'm wrong).

Yes, I'll correct you.

Hroth ears was most definitely mentioned on the Japanese forum, along with a lot of likes. It was most certainly cared about by the JP forum community.

The others, maybe, the conventions on that side of the Fora are a little different to here. Suggestions don't usually create an angry multi-page debate like we see here with half the EN playerbase telling the other they can't have what they want. (neener neener with moose antlers optional)

Rather the Japanese part of the fora mostly seem to work on one post and like-gathering, with follow up posts offering extra thoughts. There is not much of the rehashing-the-same-point discourse we see here. If it's a poorly thought out, unpopular idea, it will be (0) on the bottom of the post.

Of course, there are exceptions. Always. Some topics - like the zero bug housing refund - had a little acrimony in it.
