I don't like pieces with oriental characters; or any other characters for
that matter. That makes it harder to see what is going on. Imagine
playing Chess with Scrabble tiles - 'R' for Rook, 'B' for bishop, etc.
It would be much harder to see what is going on.
For this game I would like to see pieces with movement diagrams, like the
pieces in Scirocco. And, since the pieces are so short-range, it should
be easy. In fact I will probably whip up some piece graphics in the next
couple of days.
