Letter from the Producer Vi

[Zenaku]

So the only new news about the game are the name addition of Grand and the fact that maps won't be changed just the collisions a bit.

I don't mind the delay I mind the fact there's nothing to look forward to.
I understand that it's hard to translate the explanation to companies via e-mail because the translators left the country....no wait. Actually that doesn't make any sense whatsoever!

where did you read about "fact that maps won't be changed just the collisions a bit."?

Official translation of his forum post regarding map changes:

"Map Collision Detection Adjustments:

* Being unable to descend ledges where it seems you can easily fall off
* Feeling of strangeness when you can't climb up a hill that looks to be easily climbable

We have received a lot of feedback pointing these things out from numerous players, but the task of relieving stress during character movement is currently being tested by development in the form of map collision detection adjustments.
If you can think about this separately from the jump implementation discussion it would really help a lot. "


I might be reading too much into it but that doesn't sound like the speculated scenery improvements to me.

was there a 2nd post or interview by the dev team regarding maps? i don't remember reading that in the letter

That's because the scenery improvement post is not translated. >_>

The guy used quotes. Surely, he would not lie to us.

"Companies will be released in 2020"
see i used quotes too, anyone can use quotes

but seriously, he didnt quote anyone, he said what he assumed, its a blog, anyone can post anything, quoting something is never a truth unless you provide a direct link to the SE official saying said quote

players do not work for SE, people need to stop putting what players say as the official word of SE

[TheVedis]

But I never said the words "announcement", "release" or "date". I guess you had to have been there at launch to know the scoop :/

i was there at launch myself, and i can tell you, while there was alot of stuff discussed, no one gave an official date on companies.

its bad business to promise anything in games nowadays until you are 100% sure you can deliver, and thats something theyve been careful about for the most part(its also a double edged sword since players want the info at the same time)
So you either provide them with info that can be false, or provide as little as possible, can you guess which one they went with?
