Take for example, the widespread controversy within the fandom over the localization of some of the N girls' side stories that took out any hints of homosexual relationships. After receiving enough feedback, KLab went ahead and redid their translations properly to reflect the Japanese version exactly as it is.

Regarding the Loveca prices, you're actually right here. I ran a comparison with the help of Lunaries and 86 Loveca on JP is 55.09SGD while the same on EN is 61.20SGD, so yeah, there is a difference between the two versions. The reason why is this: JP server is run by the main branch, while EN is run by a subsidiary based in another region. This price difference is the money that goes into hiring translators and localizers. If you really want to save the money on the price difference, then a good way to start is to learn Japanese so you can save on paying for your part of the translation fees.

Higher scouting percentage is a lie, a rumor people keep spreading to find problems for no reason at all. The percentages are officially the same and it makes no sense for the JP version to have easier chances than EN. KLab wants your money. There is no logical reason for it to be easier on either version when it can be equally hard to get good cards on both.

I'm not sure what you meant by log-in bonuses. Eli Event JP doesn't hand out gems nor blue scouting vouchers. The only controversial difference in log-in bonuses I've ever heard of was this recent one, where JP had 2x the LoveCa gems and 2x scouting ticket whereas EN only had one. Here's why: If you are really serious about getting that bonus, a good solution is to invite more friends to play SIF EN. I'm certain that you'll get your missing half once SIF EN hits 10 million users.
 * EN was celebrating 15 million global users (which also comprises of CN, TW, KR servers, all of which had the same bonuses)
 * JP was celebrating 15 million global users, and also 10 million JP players.

Honestly speaking, almost all the active players we know here who have URs didn't get them through paying. We all just played long enough for them to come to us. So yeah, there is really no reason for you to need to pay for Loveca stones. Personally, I would advise against ever doing so because it's a slippery slope. I have often been tempted to buy myself as well, but I know that once I've had a single instance of paying for it, it would be that much easier to do it again. So just never start.

If you're really still unhappy about EN server for any other legitimate reason such as content released a year behind JP or the like, feel free to jump over to JP. There's really no difference in the game except maybe being unable to understand the side stories. oh one more thing; I think its a bit sad that they haven't released anymore merch like magazines etc that includes card codes, bc I, myself would like to support LL. Now I get that the consumers are much less than in japan, but I think that if the servers all gave out the same bonues, where as jpn can give out card codes etc to celebrate other 10m users, since its not like we don'y get them already.
