A final (unless I get another severe itch to overzealously rummage for data) bit of research - apparently, as it turns out, the identity selector from character creation is only there in the English version of the game to begin with (which makes sense considering the wording of the text of the update that introduced it, but I thought that they'd have it throughout but only the English version will recognize the dialogue changes? Or something to that extent).
In any event, given the aforementioned language specifics, I have doubts that the supposed plan to support the identity selection in all the languages will come through in the end. We'll see, I guess. It is curious to see discrepancy in UI elements of all things between the languages the game's available in, though.
