Apology and Notice Regarding Our Handling of Feedback on Manager/Coordinator Passives

In ver. 1.4.0 (Nintendo Switch 2 / Nintendo Switch) and ver. 1.4.1 (PlayStation®5 / PlayStation®4 / Steam / Xbox Series X|S), we implemented an adjustment that prevented the removal of pre-assigned passives for managers and coordinators. Based on the feedback we have received from players, we plan to revise this feature in the next update. Details are as follows.

● Regarding the Specification for Manager/Coordinator Pre-assigned Passives

In ver. 1.4.0 (Nintendo Switch 2 / Nintendo Switch) and ver. 1.4.1 (PlayStation®5 / PlayStation®4 / Steam / Xbox Series X|S), we made an adjustment that prevented manager and coordinator pre-assigned passives from being removed.

Under the previous, unintended specification, players were able to remove and reassign these pre-assigned passives, enabling effects such as continuous Tactics usage and abnormally high Tension gain. As a result, various attributes could exceed their intended upper limits.
Because this posed a risk to fair match conditions in online tournaments and similar events, we decided to restore the system to its intended specification by preventing these passives from being removed.

However, since this change had a significant impact on players, and to ensure the game's long-term sustainability, we have taken your feedback into consideration and are now reviewing the revisions outlined below.

1. 1. Revert the specification for manager/coordinator pre-assigned passives to the previous system, allowing them to be removed again.
2. 2. At the same time, introduce a cap on the team's total accumulated passive values to prevent abusive abnormal totals, such as reaching 100% or 0%.

• *In the next update, we will revert the specification so that manager/coordinator pre-assigned passives can be removed again, as before.
• *However, any pre-assigned passives on managers or coordinators you have already retired will be permanently lost.
  Until the next update, we kindly ask that you refrain from retiring any managers or coordinators.
  We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
• *As compensation for this issue, we are considering distributing items to all players.
• *We plan to release the next update across all platforms on or around Friday, December 12 (JST). Please note that the schedule may change.

We sincerely apologize for the negative impact the recent adjustment had on gameplay. We recognize that we did not fully consider its effects, and we regret this oversight.
Going forward, we will aim to communicate major changes in advance and handle specification decisions with greater care. Thank you for your continued support, and we hope you will continue to enjoy Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road.
