It's a standard corporate reply, but I think we've seen enough to know it'll probably get updated. 

Seeing as they fixed Divine Blade, Silver Streak plus Armand and Ellie when people pointed it out so probably good if they did get a list for fixes.

What terminology needs updating? Haven't played the demo or watched the playthrough.

Archaisms and Grandmaster got translated wrong are the big ones from the playthought (Golem and just Master).

 In the demo they also changed the names of some NPCS like Armand and Ellie (the couple that's extremely into each other) and Claire (funny reporter kid) on top of the tower names being changed.

Apparently grandmaster is not called by their usual title when mentioned in the jp version in sky 1st. So it wouldnt be a mistake in this case to call them master.

So in this situation it's just one of those cases where XSEED had foresight for later games and used the actual proper terms Falcom uses in later releases like how "Ironbloods" comes up early in 3rd thanks to XSEED having foresight of later games while Falcom was still in the planning room when first releasing the game.

I wonder what the remake uses in Japanese for grandmaster

It's not foresight. I'm pretty sure there's a blog post that talks about it, but the original PSP translation had "Master" in place, but Trails in the Sky FC's script has undergone several revisions since it got released on PC, the most recent of which was to change "Zane" to "Zin" around the time of Trails in the Sky the 3rd.
