I had some questions about how some things were translated. They pertain to game 5.
1. When Dlanor speaks why it is the last word she speaks is in capitals? I know is must have been answered before and I have been trying to go through the 300 odd pages but so far I don't know why. I know she uses katakana is that why?
2. Was duct tape used instead of gum tape since it wouldn't make sense to those outside Japan? What I have found is gum tape to not at all like duct tape. I actually bought some gum tape while in japan (to try this experiment on you tube I had seen). So when the gum tape is described in the game, I found it to quite a different type of tape entirely. It is very easy to remove the tape from many surfaces. The tape leaves no residue behind at all very much like masking tape. So I was a bit baffled why they would use gum tape in the first place. Just my thoughts. Duct tape does work as a much better example.
