I think this might be part of the reason that people seem to be forgetting about this... in a lot of countries most restrictions are lifted again - shops are open, kids are going back to school, you can eat out again... sometimes its quite shokcing to see with how little precaution. I'm constantly seeing people not wearing masks correctly.

But specially in terms of the development of this game, it really doesnt matter wether or not the world looks like everything is back to normal again (and wether or not that goes for japan aswell). They still lost several weeks during the lockdown. The game isnt like those shops than can go back to their normal buisness again by just opening their doors... and sometimes it seems like people on the forum tend to forget that just because the pandemic looks to them as if its pretty much over (spoiler-alert: it isnt.) that doesnt mean that everything is just back on track. I would imagine that the dev-team is busy playing catch-up right now, trying to get as much lost time back as possible. And personally I rather have them working on developing the content instead of taking time away from that for making a trailer or a fancy 5.3-website.
