Map Editing adjustments:
-Instead of individual blocks to create maps, a number of preset “landforms” will be available for users to create their own maps.
-Multiples of the same object, not including geo blocks or characters, cannot be placed next to or on top of each other.
-Character/map names and descriptions will be randomized.

They say this is do to regulations and laws or something. I am confused. Why would a create a map with blocks be an issue with laws, as well as the same object/character being next to each other? The names I can maybe see, with copyrights, but LBP gets away with that...

At Anime Expo, one of the guys on the localization team says you can make mana/exp farms out of those maps.

I'm looking on other websites and there seems to be some confusion. They're under the impression that we can't stack the same geo blocks and characters next to or on top of each other. However, the press release says that particular restriction doesn't apply to characters or geo blocks.

Time to email NIS America. ^^;
