So i was going through the game file catalogue to brute force download any backgrounds that were and weren't actually used but are in the game so far(i'm not done because i decided to do this on a chapter with two background changes because they're right next to each other--and also i have to go to bed)
And last year the Japanese twitter did a video with everyone's christmas voice lines
Turns out those christmas decorated dorm backgrounds are in fact in the game(albeit with the blur and border on them lol)
I wish we got to see them unblurred. I'm not much of a christmas guy but it's cute that everything's so decorated. THEY PUT A GIANT WREATH IN SINOSTRA. THERE'S A GINGERBREAD HOUSE IN JABBERWOCK. It's just so cute lol
1. These backgrounds are officially only used in that video. Nobody was going to get a good look at them anyway. They're only in the catalogue because they made the video "in engine" for lack of better wording. There's even a text file that isolated the christmas dialogue for use in making yhst video.
2. They've been using ai from the get go.and continue to use it now and the current backgrounds are as clesr and ad clearly ai as ever so idk why you'd think thst'd make a difference to them lmao
Someone have successfully deciphered what Kyklos said at the beginning of Who Killed Robin? Act II! I'll try to explain as best as I can but please do note that I'm just relaying the information.
Full credit goes to the brilliant mind of Fujino-san on Twitter! You can read/retweet the related post in question here.
First, I want you to see how Kyklos' lines are written in the original Japanese text. I'll also attach the English version for comparison.
Have you ever downloaded any text file in Japanese but when you opened it, they're all garbled, undecipherable text? That's most likely because the original JP text is encoded using Shift JIS and your computer couldn't read it一as most non-Japanese device do.
Kyklos' line in Japanese is actually the result of an SJIS (old, deprecated) decoder trying to read a UTF-8 (modern) encoded string thus, it resulted in a garbled text. All you have to do is convert them back into the UTF-8 encoding and it will be readable. Here is the result, courtesy to Fujino-san:
English translation:
Guider: Oh, dear Master ......Can you hear my voice? I have brought you the Queen.
※ I translated 案内人 directly as it is but I'm not very sure if I capture the nuance right. "Guider" here is as in a navigator, an escort, the person who can guide you from one place to another.
Fujino-san had also confirmed that the displayed text on the English version is simply the result of trying to open an SJIS encoded text on a non-Japanese PC. So it's not the result of JP text → EN translation → garbled text, they're both actually encrypting the same Japanese text! Simply put:
JP → UTF-8 encoded text being opened as SJIS
EN → opening an SJIS encoded text on a computer outside Japan
Below is my personal thoughts regarding this revelation:
All this time we all thought that Kyklos is the last boss. That she is THE Big Bad and, in a way, MC's "goal". But now that we know she's basically just an escort and there's the existence of a "Master", this opened up to new possibilities. We used to wonder why would the Kyklos cursed MC in the first place and now we have a tiny bit of light to this. The Kyklos is working for someone else but... just who is this entity that the Kyklos refers to as her "Master"?
The way the shadows started clapping at MC's arrival, how the Kyklos spoke as if addressing a royalty... How is MC the "Queen"? Who (or perhaps "what") is supposed to be her subjects?
After recontextualizing the situation, I thought the cut off word is "She"一like when you capitalize the pronouns of higher/divine beings. But the cut off JP word is "シ" (shi, in Katakana) and I'm not sure if "Here stands She" is correct grammarly anyway so I think I was off base. Still, due to the capitalization in English, I'd like to think that it either stands for a name or perhaps a title.
To end this post, I'll bring up how Fujino-san pointed out that some of the compounds of the garbled text could form the word "Kusanagi" (highlighted below). It's probably just a coincidence一as Fujino-san admitted as well一but it's still quite an astonishing coincidence if true. Just as astonishing as how the date when MC were cursed is also the night of a new moon.
MC having to spend the night in Obscuary because there's a rainstorm outside.
She's laying in bed, scrolling wickhive when suddenly theres a loud thunderclap. She hadn't noticed how close the storm was getting until someone throws open the door.
It's Lyca. With his blanket bundled up in his arms.
And before she can say anything he's at the bedside and says, "Move over!"
She does, and as Lyca is trying to adjust his blanket theres another thunderclap. He flinches.
"Lyca? Are you scared of thunder?"
"I am not!" He says turning toward her, "It just hurts my ears! And it's quieter in here."
She decides to leave it at that but can't help but notice that he keeps scooting closer to her after each thunderclap afterward.
dunno if it was asked before but which relationships in tkb youd like to know more about?
I feel like it's hard to answer this question without just saying 'all of them' lmaoooo I WANNA KNOW EVERYTHING I WANNA KNOW ABOUT EVERYONE.
When did Taiga and Romeo meet? I wanna see their pre-Clash relationship when they were so close!! What's with the fsction divide in Sinostra? Romeo says Taiga is the one able to put a stop to it but he doesn't want to--makes sense, Taiga likes to fight, but also he doesn't seem to care much aboht anything y'know?
Romeo and Leo are friends but Leo's only been at DW less than a year--when and how did they get so close??
Shion and Taiga?? What caused Shion to damage the casino? And how?? Does Taiga hate him because he sees himself in him? Does Shion also hate Taiga?? Is Taiga the "obstacle" Shion says is in Sinostra? What is Taiga in the way of???
Romeo and Hyde's relationship is like we know a lot but also there's so much more going on, the secret missions the trying to help taiga THE AUCTIONS WE NEVER GET TO SEE. . . .
Hyde and Sho??? Why does Sho hate him so much? But also respects him enough to think of him as 兄貴??? Is it just because he's so underhanded and secretive?? How much did Sho know about the Institute before coming to DW??? Hyde wasn't supposed to talk about his work but clearly Sho was informed before coming?
SHO AND LEO. We actually know a lot about their relationship. We actually probably know the most sbout their relationship aside from like. Maybe Yuri and Jiro. BUT I STILL WANNA KNOW I WANT FLASHBACKS.
JIRO AND ZENJI AND SABURO??? WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING THERE WHY DOES JIRO HATE ZENJI AND SABURO'S MEMORY SO MUCH??? Like we can infer that Saburo must have been suffering--Jiro saw the little ghost boy crying in pain and threw up--but what about Zenji? Why does he make him feel so much rage it makes him ill?? Did Zenji hurt Saburo? Did Zenji put Saburo out of his misery and Jiro thinks he could have been saved and resents him for it? Did they make their pacts at the same time?? WE DON'T KNIW ANYTHINF WE KEEP GETTING CLOSE TO IT BUT EVEN ZENJI SAYS HE HATES CONFRONTING THE TRUTH. . . .
JIN AND YURI. . .HARU AND SHION. . .JIN AND HIS FAMILY. . .RITSU AND HIS FAMILY. . .TOHMA AND THE INSTITUTE . . .HAKU AND YAMATO. . .DANTE AND HYDE. . .HYDE AND HODGE AND PODGE AND MOBY. . .LUCA AND HIS BROTHER AND THEIR FAMILY. . .SUBARU AND HIS SISTER. . .TOWA AND ED. . .BENKEI AND FEMJO. . .LIKE BENKEI HAS TO KNOW RIGHT BUT ALSO HE'S BENKEI AND HE ACTS LIKE HE'S BEEN DISCLIPLIED FOR SEXUALLY HARASSING STUDENTS BEFORE AND HE'S GOT A THING FOR WOMEN IN BIKINIS AND JO IS SO PRETTY. . . . . . .ALL OF DIONYSIA. . .THE DIONYSIA-SINOSTRA BEEF. . .HAKU AND JIN. . .THE STAFF. . .THE OVERALL RELATIONSHIPS WITH GEN STUDENTS. . . .
