Do you think you could possibly come into a topic about localization of Japanese games without trying to pigeonhole Western gamers as shooter fanatics? Maybe? Please? Didn't we already have the discussion where it's revealed that the West consumes far more JRPGs than Japan does?

 

It's not so much about West being shooter fanatics.  It's more about some people feeling their masulinity challenged in the West when Japan-West cultural clashes occur.  A cultural clash occurs also in Japan when they can't relate to characters like Master Chief and Marcus Phoenix.

Even given this (fallacious) viewpoint, it's not applicable in this case, because this change in the game's menus does not in any way divorce it from the style of the game itself - it just brings the menu portraits in line with what the in-game models look like. This is not even a change in design, it is a ridding of an extraneous "feature" which served no purpose except to be visually confusing.
