This is a Japanese game and I will call it by its Japanese name until the end of time, just as I plan to keep calling American games by their American names. For a website targeted to an international readership, covering games from across the world with complete disregard for national borders and arbitrarily drawn-up regions, this is the only sensible choice.
Agreed. This is the best approach to take when referring to Japanese games, and as such it will be the position taken by this site.
