Dev Response - We will be changing the copy/pasta'd zones! (I think)

So I do like to browse through the Japanese forums sometimes and see what is up. Well, it seems that a dev has responded, but I use Google Translate to understand what is said and as we all know, it comes out in gibberish. I think Yoshi P wrote this.

I was hoping someone would be able to translate this for me:

プロデューサ/ディレクタの吉田です。

皆さん、MAPについての問題提起ありがとうございます。
皆さん同様に吉田もMAPの仕様について、強く危機意識があり、
莫大な作業量ではありますが、しっかり再設計に向けた計画を進めています。
ただし、既にご指摘いただいている通り、根本からの修正のためには、
お時間を頂いてしまうことになります。

そのため、現MAPのコリジョン緩和（段差/引っ掛かりの緩和）は地道に続け、
根本改修も長期的に計画という並行策で進めています。

Google gave me:

Producer / Director is Yoshida.

Everyone, MAP Thank you for complaint.
Yoshida also like you to MAP's specifications, there is a strong sense of crisis,
There are an enormous amount of work is well advanced plans for redesign.
However, as already pointed out that Itadai in order to fundamentally fix the
You will get to give me a time.
Therefore, the current MAP collision mitigation (steps / Relaxation caught) is followed by steady,
In a parallel measure to promote the long term planning radical refurbishment.

It sure sounds like they have already started redesigning the maps. It would explain why so many areas are not accessible yet, they are probably being redesigned.

Great now we can all stop making threads to complain about the copy/paste and Grinadia and the black shroud etc... it's been worked on kids. Just give the man some time.

Well at least their forum is productive.

Doesn't this mean character mapping? anti-collision?

How old is that post? I think they may be refferring to something that has alreday been addressed.

There is also a reply by him about a possible redesign of the 'collisions' on the maps (and ground) for an eventual jump or climb :)

NOT a direct translation, probably poor at best. Hopefully someone will reply with a clear translation.


Producer/Director Yoshida here.

Thanks to everyone for your comments about the MAPS.
I am aware of the strong feelings about the MAPS; there is a lot of work to be done, but there are plans for a redesign.
However, these things take time; please have patience.

I plan to work on this in parallel with collision detection algorithm improvements.

No this is in the Japanese "copypasta terrain" thread. They have one just like we do, but theirs has over 30,000 views, and it is the one thing they feel most strongly about. I think on par with content, at least.

This is great if all is true.

very cool, i'd love to see them add this to the table outline for future updates if its true

Great find! I wasn't expecting this. :)
