With the implementation of Patch v0.5.5 this week, we must make yet another compromise. From this patch onward, gliding will be performed using a glider rather than with Pals. Pals in the player’s team will still provide passive buffs to gliding, but players will now need to have a glider in their inventory in order to glide.

How lame. Japan needs to fix its patent laws, it's ridiculous Nintendo owns the simple concept of using an animal to fly.

I don't know how videogames managed to get different rules.

A lot of people in those offices really don't understand the technical mumbo jumbo that can be summed up as "doing something that already exists, but on a computer"

Like scanning a document on a printer and immediately sending it as email. That was patented
