Talk:D.Q.O.

Inconsistencies?
I was about to add notes on where characters sleep/hang out to this page per the information here, but I noticed that it conflicted with the information I already had on here. Namely that I've seen Stella in Private Room 4 and I've never seen any of the characters in Sleeping Area 1 because they both seem to be labeled Sleeping Area 2 (video proof).

I'm less certain about the Stella thing since in my testing I haven't seen her there since, so I'll probably remove her from that section unless I see it happen again or someone else mentions it. The Sleeping Area thing, however, does seem to be an actual error in translation. Could anyone verify if both Sleeping Areas are labeled "Sleeping Area 2" in the Steam version?

I'll be referencing the video/table from that thread above all, but feel free to bring things up here if you end up seeing a character in a place that they supposedly never appear in, etc., preferably with a screenshot/video if possible (you can just upload it to the wiki if you don't have an offsite link)!

Here's the Steam Sleeping Area inconsistency: link link


 * Thanks a ton! Looks like it's just an issue with the English version that never got caught, then! Isoprene (talk) 19:01, 13 February 2022 (UTC)

update: i accidentally didn't watch your video, oops. But here's a weird thing i noticed with the Switch edition: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/906723085032488965/942491759143964762/unknown.png https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/906723085032488965/942494648637739098/unknown.png Sha-Ming appearing in both dorms, and they're also both listed as Sleeping Area 2.

 * Interesting! Do you know what that Sha-Ming event was? Like if it was an Event event or just a liar callout? If the former, it might just be that he appears in an event in the bottom sleeping area (2) but doesn't appear there normally otherwise. If it was just a liar callout and thus a place he normally hangs out at night, then I'll make a note of it on the page. It seems like Sleeping Area 2 is more or less the female dorm, so I could certainly see Sha-Ming showing up there now and then... Isoprene (talk) 19:59, 13 February 2022 (UTC)


 * https://youtu.be/hZTVk8AMIZ8?t=18019 It seems like it's Sha-Ming's event for when he asks you to take out Otome as Gnosia. Prinpop (talk) 22:14, 13 February 2022 (UTC)


 * Huh! Seems like it's just an event thing, then, so I'll leave it and make a note of it in Trivia when I get to making that Event's page. Pretty odd place for that Event to be implemented, though, since neither Sha-Ming nor Otome sleep there. I wonder if maybe the developers meant to put it in Sleeping Area 1...?

what IS the deal with steak though...
can't stop thinking about this... steak is a controlled substance but mammal steak is acceptable... is this a simple writing inconsistency, intentional inconsistency for comedic purposes, or does levi truly wish to lead otome onto a path of crime...???

Legit question though, if anyone knows much Japanese I'd be curious to know if "steak" and "mammal steak" match up the same way they do in English or if this might be a case of mistranslation. Even if someone doesn't know but does still have access to the Japanese text, if I could just see how it's written I have a couple of friends who know some Japanese who might be able to help! Of all of Gnosia's many mysteries, this is obviously the most critical and important one. Isoprene (talk) 06:39, 27 February 2022 (UTC)


 * "あの……食堂でお料理を頼もうとすると、LeViさんがいつもほ乳

類のステーキを勧めてくるの.

あたし、ちょっと気味が悪くて……" is otome's JP scary story line, and from Google Translate it seems like the EN phrase is a pretty direct translation. Additionally, though I have yet to see the dialog branch, both this scary story line and the JP dialog option both use "Steak" (ステーキ), i mention this because i've seen translations sorta call Salisbury Steak steak before.

 * : i swear each time i post something i end up finding something, here's the JP steak dialog:

player picks steak levi's response levi telling the player there's not enough time to eat Prinpop (talk) 17:51, 27 February 2022 (UTC)


 * Thanks a ton! Handed the screenshots over to a friend who confirmed that in the Japanese version the "Steak" option is in fact just "Steak" and Otome's quote specifically says "mammalian steak". Given that this is also a game where billiards requires four arms among many other silly things, I'm guessing it's supposed to suggest that "steak" in the Gnosiaverse doesn't actually mean what we think of as steak rather than the joke being that steak is so tasty that it's considered a controlled substance.


 * Or the LeVi leading Otome down a dangerous road of steak addiction theory is the truth after all... we may never know.
