Operation Rainfall wasn't a petition. It might have had that too, but it involved sending letters to Nintendo, e-mailing them, using Club Nintendo, and advertising the game. It was highly organized and had a lot of effort behind it; that's why it worked (well, it's two-thirds done anyway).

It's pretty damn obvious that it influenced Nintendo of Europe. They're releasing commemorative coins for the the three Operation Rainfall games if you bought them all over there. This is despite Pandora's Tower not really having anything to do with the other two games: it's not an RPG and it isn't by a famous ex-Square person.
