I wonder if anyone outside of Kyoto knows this much about that game, myself. Maybe Reggie and a few others of the top people in Redmond and Grossostheim
Not trying to discredit your sources, but it is my guess that if Kyoto wanted some of the lower people in Europe (or America, for that matter) to know, they would just make the information public altogether.
Unless this is someone working on localization, but it seems a mite early for that.
