I have a promo brochure in Japanese for the game. Colintron 10:48, 29 December 2011 (UTC) Promo brochure These points will obviously be fixed in a couple of months (to both). I presumed the game was more established, not really observing release dates. Again, however, as this game has not been released in English yet, the majority of our contributors don't have access to it, and thus cannot detail exactly what has changed.
