Metric Conversion?

By Tashiro, in Anima: Beyond Fantasy RPG

I noticed the odd thing's in metric, and listed in metres, but everything else is in 'feet'. I'm curious - why was the conversion to feet (instead of yards), and why was it converted at all? Metric's not that hard, and for people used to imperial, 1 metre is pretty **** close to 1 yard (3.3 ft to a metre). Shouldn't the conversion have been more direct?

And it seems kind of weird that '50 metres' would be converted to '50 feet', rather than either '50 yards' or '150 feet'. Anima's fairly epic, and having ranges in yards like that would hold the epic feel of the game.

Just curious.
