He might've felt that a European-based setting was more fitting for the theme of Giants attacking humanity, like in Norse mythology, which heavily influenced some aspects of the story. He definitely considered a Japanese-based setting very early on though, as seen in Attack on Titan 0.
Simple if it were in an Japanese setting everyone would be Asian and they would have Levi's super powers so the series would have ended in one page XD
Should I feel offended that you consider only English as an European language? shouldn't you be more inclined to listen to Russian dub? the Deutsche, the French or even the Italian ones?
The awakened power is an Ackerman trait, not an Asian trait, just sayin.
If it was just a Japanese location, it wouldn't seem large enough. The chosen setting has much territory, even in a confined space.
I know it was a joke

I know. That is why I said I am ok with the European setting. The only thing I dislike about Attack on Titan is that it is released monthly instead of weekly because of that I have to wait till next month to get to read the next chapter instead of next week.
