Its not even that though. Its just general latency stuff. His ping for that would be roughly what an American player's ping would be for the Japanese server. The things he'd want to do just plain wouldn't work the way he'd want them to because he still wouldn't be close enough unless they opened up a server in the EU region. Even then, god only knows if that would actually work better.
The Japanese also all live a lot closer, relatively speaking, to their server than almost any American not living in California would be to the servers we had here before. So even for us it wouldn't be quite what they have now for the most part.
But yeah, this is only such a big deal for this game because of exploits and poorly programmed/placed enemy spawning.
