It's probably just hard to include both character sets since the game was originally made in English with specific programming for Roman lettering. Same thing with GTA V. Any Chinese/Japanese/Korean characters just turned into squares.

It's possible, but I doubt that is a problem these days with Unicode.

Someone mentioned something about copyright for the Japanese voice actors. That seems odd too, but it seems plausible.
