Actually... the whole Sengoku update was centred around "What if people from the Sengoku era came to Maplestory?" Since the Sengoku Era is... well, an ERA of Japanese history, I think it's very relevant to the Japanese culture.

It would be awesome if Kanna and Hayato came to GMS, but there's cultural issues going on, too. I personally found it really funny how [url=http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0a/Akechi_Mituhide.jpg/527px-Akechi_Mituhide.jpg]Akechi Mitsuhide[/url] was portrayed as a [url=http://oi47.tinypic.com/2hprp01.jpg]silver-haired pretty boi[/url], or how they made Uesugi Kenshin look [url=http://blog-imgs-53.fc2.com/w/e/i/weight1500kg/MapleStory_2012-07-11_21-12-32_compressed.jpg]girly[/url] due to the "controversy" that he might've been a woman(along with jokes about him being an alchoholic), but almost [i]no one[/i] in GMS would get what JMS was poking fun at, if the whole Sengoku thing came over here.[/quote]
Does it really matter though?
Every version imparts a bit of its respective culture into the content it develops. 99% of the time it gets added to other versions too. This isn't even the first time we would've gotten content from Japan (assuming we do get this in the first place). Maybe through content like this some people might learn a thing or two about Japanese culture and history. No harm there.

(If I'm misinterpreting the meaning behind "cultural issues" here, then sorry)

'Secret' could also imply that since it's an exclusive in another country, we're not supposed to know about it.

I'm probably wrong, though.

Uhm, not everybody want to play a female character because Kanna is gender lock, like Angelic Burster, Mihile and Hayato. Anyway, I prefer Hayato.

[quote=BakingBunnies]Oh please no... It was suppose to be exclusive to JMS and JMS only. Might as well just rip off the ''exclusive'' part and let everyone play Jett,Dragon warrior,Hayato and Kanna.
Its not even in your culture, why introduce something special to Japan to GMS? If Nexon were to release it into GMS, it would really anger JMS. Gawd...please nexon don't make another wrong move. I wonder how JMS would feel, getting ripped-off like that[/quote]

Kanna might indeed be a secret, but I doubt it's coming out with tempest in december.

It's not like GMS hasn't had OUR exclusives stolen

JMS doesn't care they're all one company

We already have Familiars, Mushroom Castle, JMS doesn't give a crap what we take from them. Dragon Warrior is already being taken in MSEA, called Zen. Then again, Jett and DW are nothing more than ripoffs of Justice Pirates.

Give it a rest, just because it's from another culture, doesn't mean it should be restricted from anywhere else other than Japan. How unfair is that? GMS is like the United States, a melting pot. Plus, JMS already took Masteria and CWKPQ from us, we don't give a crap if they do take it.

It should be in concrete that Exclusive in Nexon's world has a different meaning, and that meaning is that it is the first server to utilize it before the other servers gets t use it.

Just like CWKPQ was suppose to be GMS only! and Dragon Warrior CMS only!

That's exactly what is happening.

[quote=you]Its not even in your culture,[/quote]
I guess that means we aren't allowed to enjoy it.
[quote=you]why introduce something special to Japan to GMS?[/quote]
Money, popularity, fun, interesting storyline and gameplay.

[quote=you]If Nexon were to release it into GMS, it would really anger JMS[/quote]
What? No it wouldn't. And if it does, that's retarded as hell. I didn't get pissed when JMS got CWKPQ(Or when MSEA got an arguably better version)
Why should they?

It would be an extremely wise decision for Nexon America. the JMS exclusive classes have shown to be wanted more by players than Luminous or Kaiser, or even Burster.
Nexon Japan wouldn't get "pissed". They're all lead by the same company with the same goal: Money.

GM's are never exactly known for being a reputable source for information anyways.
