Someone in chat noted that they fixed that eventually in the JP version, and so will presumably come along in Global... sometime.
I think it's kind of entertainingly weird that rather than just port the current state of the JP game, they evidently launched Global in the same state that the JP version launched in, rewinding the entire development cycle. I understand why they would have started with the original cast, because drip-feeding new characters is a huge part of how these games make their money, but the fact that the entire game got reset like a clean Windows XP install without any of the patches that dropped since the discs went gold is hilarious to me.
