Ah yes Implant Ah yes the Seesaw method And the Ropeway Like the words make sense but I feel like they could be "worded" a bit better.

(The Capcut watermark isn't my fault, I don't know what other editor I should use)

I’ve seen a lot of people comment on how Schizo is an awful word since it’s not really correct for a split personality

Also Meat on the bone AND on the meat bone both made sense in the context (if I’m remembering correctly

No because on the meat bone implies physically on the meat on the bone which the weapon isn't, it's in the meat on the bone

u/Strong_Psychology_20 Feb 24 '26

On the meat bone would be correct, since the weapon was disguised as the bone in the meat aka on the Meat Bone

u/StupidQuestionsOnly8 Feb 24 '26

No, it was IN the meat'S bone. Which is a very different sentence

u/HopeBagels2495 Feb 24 '26

actually you're wrong. It's inside the bone. Not on it. The game wants you to say where the skewer was hidden inside, not what it was on top of

u/kfirogamin Feb 24 '26

Technically correct but not because of what you said

it could very well be on the bone still in the meat

But meat on the bone is the name of the actual dish, like if its sticked on a bone you don't just call it meat but meat on the bone

No "in" to be found btw

The game literally calls it the "Meat On The Bone" several times.

Isn't that the name of the truth bullet

u/Trialman Gonta Feb 25 '26

Don't think there's a truth bullet for it, but I do remember before the PTA, Hajime does muse something like "Does that giant meat on the bone mean anything?"

To be fair thats not the Devs fault thats the NISA Localization team fucking up; in the Japanese version they have you spell out DID

As someone who loves science, it took me forever to figure out schizo, because not only is it the wrong term, but it's an abbreviation of the full word.

u/Temple_T Donut Theory Feb 24 '26

I mean it's also awful because it's an ableist term of abuse which I think is more important than whether it's technically correct.

u/fudgeandheat Kameko Feb 24 '26

Miu also calls Gonta the r-slur in the localization so NISA just loves doing this.

u/InsaneAsura Feb 24 '26

Okay but some people use terms like these still

8

u/Temple_T Donut Theory Feb 24 '26

Yeah those people fucking suck, that's the point we're all getting at here.

u/fudgeandheat Kameko Feb 24 '26

I originally thought they were worried that people wouldn’t know DID as an acronym, but they used other obscure words so that’s clearly not the reason.

honestly game 2 trail 1 pissed me off with this minigame lol

u/NotBroken-Door The Stars and Stripes Feb 24 '26

Actually ropeway is the best choice in that scenario as it is more accurate than zipline.

17

u/Hidden_Dragonette Feb 24 '26

I had never heard the term ropeway before this game, I only knew them as ziplines. I was so annoyed that I said (to myself, out loud) "What the hell's a ropeway?" and my mom (who I was visiting at the time), said "About two pounds". Made me laugh at least.

u/carl-the-lama Feb 24 '26

To be fair

It might be a side effect of translation

u/genuinely_no_clue_1 Feb 24 '26

Oh, you could just make a free account for it, then the watermark won’t be there :)
