It's maddening how little they trust their mostly adult userbase, and so they just keep giving us solutions that often times just lead to worse outcomes.
Will need a JP player or someone who has played on jp DC to confirm this. But I heard jp players use PF for random groups and normal runs. While DF is used by established groups for things like savage, extremes, and so forth. If that's true ya that would a be culture issue that could come into play.
