This is the best part here:
2) Officially, the XB360 version is a different version of the game. It is not meant as a duplicate of the JP version. You can disagree with that but that is the official stance, and so whatever communication you're going to hear from me or us, that's the ultimate message. That means that saying "it was like X there but it's like Y here and therefore it is broken" isn't something we can respond to, officially. They are different versions for a reason, and supplying new artwork to the XB360 is not the same as providing new artwork to the PC version. I know there's a fuzzy line there, some things, yes, it's worth raising the issue for sure. I said this on our forums before they went down and if you are unsure of what is "okay" to bring up ... you can always ask!
Err.. what? Wasn't the game supposed to receive the same updates as the Japanese version but with only a few months difference based on the release of the games? To me it sounds like an Xbox360 problem with having to go through getting content/patches certified. Probably doesn't help that they chose a poor method to distribute the "Guardian's Advanced Content" update either. I wonder how things would have been explained if the PC version was never shut down?
I'll be fair: OK we knew that there would be differences in the game from the Japanese version especially after things like the second MAG, the long update drought that followed the second MAG, and the absence of Guardian's Cash. But still that doesn't excuse cutting small details from the game. At least save excuse for something big like explaining why an event or other highly anticipated content won't make it over. It would sound a lot better then, trust me! Although I still wouldn't buy it.
I certainly hope PSO2 can avoid content problem like these. Well at least I do feel a little better knowing that Sega has full control over content since they don't need to go through a third party like Xbox Live.
