I don' t know how Kikizo always manages to snatch the best Interviews with Japanese developers, but anyway, I think that two important questions should have been asked:

1- Why different Servers for Japan and North America? PSO for XBOX had separate servers because of XBOX live and PSOBB had separate servers because there was over a year between the Japanese and English version. PSU will be out on the last day of August in Japan and in October in NA, so why the separate servers? Is is some sort of racial issue where Japanese didn' t want to play with the rest of the world or Vise-Versa?

2- Like so many SEGA games, will the NA American and European version of PSU contain a language switch option for the people who would prefer hearing the original Japanese voice actors? For Anime fans, this would be great because a lot of these actors have given their voices to countless Anime characters in the past.
