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...

Yeah, I'm thinking that as well. I take several minutes even trying to come up with a character name ^^;. I know trying to come up with a map from square one is going to take me a long time as I'm really nitpicky and anal about these kinda things, so the presets will save me a lot of time and keep me less frustrated. I never got that far in the Japanese version, but were there presets in that version as well?

If they have about 20 preset maps, I think I can live with that.

Same here, I'm able to get through quite a bit of the story and my previous experience with Disgaea helps me get through, but damn there's so much kanji I've never seen that it becomes really difficult.
