takodori: I fail to see what is so complicated with answering this question. There's two choices, right? The Japanese characters or the ones with the Roman letters and piece direction movement indicators on them. Why not just ask Fencer how many people have chosen which ones they want to play with? Though some people may not be aware that they now have a choice, it should at least give you figure that you can then argue about.

By the way, I prefer the one with the Roman letters and directionals on it.
