[0.96] Halloween

Is your first question a joke question because KMS already did that with Kerning Square and Neo Tokyo and made themselves look like a bunch of asses.

You're reading far too much into it. Just because it shares maps and NPC's doesn't mean anything, there is a Gaga, Cassandra and Maple Admin in every city, so it's nothing new. Most people won't be bothered by it in the least because Neo City and Neo Tokyo are two completely different things gotten to in completely different places and most people will understand that, it seems like only you have a problem with it for some weird reason.

There you go again. NPC's can have different incarnations, there has never been proof in the game to say otherwise. And if MSEA does actually get Neo City it will shoot your entire argument down in flames.

Same NPCs in different places and different storylines in a place which looks the same as another and NPCs which look the same but have different functions and say different things aren't quite the same.

Sure, there might be the same NPCs in several towns (such as Cassandra, Maple Admin, etc.), but they all have the same function(s). On the other side, Neo Tokyo's and Neo City's NPCs look the same, yeah, but they have completely different functions and say different things. Not even considering maps which would look the same but have different names. It just wouldn't make sense, and would be horrible to add to the game. Period.
