Forgive my ignorance but 38 pages is a lot to read, while I have but one simple question.
Bofore I go on with it, let me say that I fully agree with not "Americanizing" the game since the spirit of it would be completely lost considering the Japanese nature of the game's prologue and protagonist.
However, here's the question - are you at the very least localizing the character names of people in London as well as purely Japanese jokes and references that make 0 sense in English?
Because that's kind of a big deal, and in my opinion you really should.

Regarding the names: we won't change any of them, because most of them are references to the books of Arthur Conan Doyle. Yes, some (not all of them) double as puns that only work in Japanese, but the Doyle references were more important. We will release translation notes alongside to make sure you get the puns, though (let's be honest, not all name puns in the AA series were as obvious as they were in SoJ). Jokes and references will be "localized" if possible, sometimes there's certain reasons that would prevent us from "localizing" them, in that case we'll have a translation note for that, too. Rest assured, we're doing our very best to get it right - after all, we're fans of the series, too
