Let me repeat what I just said: "4) We would not do it in a fashion so as to
poach sales."
We are fans of L5R up here, not heartless soulless bureaucrats.
Trust us to be capable of making intelligent choices, especially when our
jobs depend on said choices.
The adjustments we are making are things like, oh, making a style guide to
have a consistent look and feel for each clan. Making sure that said look
and feel is a careful blend of the styles we want, not just a mash of
various Asian times and places. You, know, game-breaking stuff like that. ;)
Counter-question: do you want us to do nothing, so that we can never sell
the game in Japan?
