Hi everyone, hi Vio!
I'd like to respond to this idea with my shaky English. I don't know how long it's been, or how complicated it's become to get the JP version, because for my part, I was able to buy it with just my bank card and a VPN.
So I can't gauge the frustration of a runner who wants to optimize but can't.
I understand the idea, but that doesn't stop me from having mixed feelings, because from my point of view, switching to the JP version isn't just a "financial" investment.
People who switch to JP have to learn a few extra things, as the small differences between the two versions and the language require a good knowledge of the game.
On the other hand, it's certain that this idea, if implemented, will make the game more accessible to newcomers.
So I don't have a definite opinion on the matter, but I wanted to share my point of view because it seems relevant to me.
