@bowen13: That's be great, but a massive anachronism. Read up on your history.

@unfathomablej: To be fair, most of medieval Europe is also rolled into a homogenous mass in fantasy settings. Same with every other continent.

I wonder what new characters they could introduce.

@AutobahnBurner: The what now?

@Shinta: The rest of Japan beat you to it. Get in before the bubble bursts?
