Am I understanding correctly that as new missions were released for Japan, they also released new character medals? Because there are quite a few character medals listed as being in the Japanese version that NA does not have yet.
While that would be a nice, steady pace, I'm hoping they won't take that long to release them in NA. If II.8 is supposed to be released this year, I'm betting they'll want to have the NA KHUX caught up to where the story is in Japan. Japan is up to 500 quests, which at 25/month would take another 12 months to release in North America. Maybe they'll do 50/month?
