Post subject:  [UPDATE] DGS in Famitsu 5/13

Famitsu has released, and with it comes a better look at DGS' second case and the investigation part of the game!

Spoiler: Full scans

Adding info as it's translated.

As we heard yesterday, the episode is called "The Adventure of the Friend and the Speckled Band", a homage to the Holmes short story "The Adventure of the Speckled Band". Set aboard the London-bound steamship Alaclair, Ryuunosuke finds himself the prime suspect in a certain "incident" involving a locked room and an adder, and decides to clear his name. But as the article puts it, whereever mysteries are, so is Holmes, and so Ryuunosuke and the Great Detective meet for the first time.

Introduced are two new characters: fifteen-year-old ballet dancer Nikomina Bolshevich and Mitrov Stroganov. Nikomina is running away to America, while Mitrov is a sailor who was patrolling the area of the ship where the incident occurred. Eagle-eyed readers may also spot what appears to be a familiar face from DGS' first case...

Investigation gameplay looks largely unchanged from previous games - players can examine an area, speak to any people, move around, or present evidence. Areas you've already looked at will have a check mark displayed by the cursor, and when choosing where to go, Susato will let you know if anything more needs investigating there.

The preview for the next report shows Iris and an unnamed character in the English lobby. Here's hoping we hear more soon!

Expect this info to be added to the game's official site soon.

Update: Info about the case has been added to the official site! Do note that the site is currently incompatible with certain versions of Firefox.

Anyone here who knows Greek and can translate the writing on the floor? The second to last letter doesn't seem to be Greek, though. Maybe some ugly lower case Delta, but all other letters are upper case.

And for some reason the waiter from case one is also there. I wonder what that means.

Also does Sherlock hide in a treasure chest in one of the screens?

Hmm? Of course she is that "guy". She's just really bad in disguising herself.

Mitrov (or Meatloaf). Borshbich sounds like it was derived from the Bolsheviks.

Been years since I last read Greek, but the writing appears to be "ΓΑΓΔΕΡΟ[weird 6 but not a sigma]Ι", which doesn't mean anything, I think.

Actually, Sherlock says ズバリ, while Luke says ズヴァリ. Alike, but different ;)

That ain't no greek, it's written in russian (ГАРДЕРОБ) and says
Spoiler:
"wardrobe."


Also, I find the girl's second name a bit funny. Maybe it's supposed to sound more like "Borsch[t]evich." I also wonder if it's supposed to derive from this dish or the aforementioned Bolsheviks. Knowing japanese, it's either one of these.

Thanks for the thoughts on the names - I was in something of a hurry so I didn't have time to really suss them out. (The Mitrov one in particular was a case of misreading Jisho. :oops:)

Thanks! I figure it's both, but mainly based on borchst, to match that other guy's pun with meatloaf. This game is going to be amusing; food puns everywhere.

So uh... what happened to Roylott? (I'm going with Roylott because that's the surname of a character in "Speckled Band".)

Post subject:  Re: DGS in Famitsu 4/2

^ Unless Roylott appears later in the case as in person, you may be referring to the girl who isn't good at hiding herself but was enough to fool Sherlock Holmes.

Either Holmes is going to turn out to be a genius who's only pretending to be an idiot all that time, making him a giant douche, or he's legitimately an idiot who in a spark of genius at one point becomes the most badass character this series has ever seen.

On an unrelated note, I knew that lanky sailor was suspicious, but I didn't realize he was THIS suspicious.

Also is the "Hosonoga" named sailor the Butler in case 1? Well I guess he's not the killer

Btw. I wonder if the second case actually gets a court phase or if the whole affair is solved on the ship without a trial.

Post subject:  Re: [UPDATE] DGS in Famitsu 5/13

I didn't mean to jump on this, but I couldn't help but become very curious.

The VA interviews page is here. I swear, other than for how well done the voice acting is, the staff must have picked these guys for how closely they act like their roles.

Spoiler: Translation
Ryuunosuke: Hiro Shimono

Q1. What were your thoughts after you finished auditioning?

Since it was for such a highly demanded and popular role, the main character of the game, I initially had my doubts. I felt my audition didn't go so well, but as I thought, my "Objection!" voice was pretty good. (laughs) It was a tremendous moment for me!

Q2. What kind of impressions do you have regarding the character you play? Could you tell us anything you felt during recording?

He's a rather hot-blooded and upfront character, though when I was recording, I did as everyone suggested and made him seem much more like a frantic newbie. While I was still auditioning, Director Takumi told me to "give him a little more dignity sometimes". (laughs) So, while paying more attention to his inexperience, I gave a really, really intense performance.


Susato: Kana Hanazawa

Q1. What were your thoughts after you finished auditioning?

I looked forward to what kind of results I had from my audition. I was really happy to have met Shimono-san, who played as Ryuunosuke. (laughs)

Q2. What kind of impressions do you have regarding the character you play? Could you tell us anything you felt during recording?

She's a rather charming heroine who has both serious and comical sides to her. She was a highly demanded role as well, so I was a little unsure if I really had gotten it. (laughs) During recording, I felt the tension of the courtroom as I acted out the role. Isn't just being in court not an everyday situation!? (laughs) When I auditioned, I had Susato-chan become a woman of courage and faith.


Holmes: Shinji Kawada

Q1. What were your thoughts after you finished auditioning?

It was the newest installment of a hugely popular series; not to mention, it even had such a famous character like Holmes. When auditions were finally over, I felt so relieved to have gotten the role. (laughs)

Q2. What kind of impressions do you have regarding the character you play? Could you tell us anything you felt during recording?

He's a really cool character, but sometimes can be a little absentminded; all around a very funny and charming character. During auditions, I worked with everyone on staff to create this character while I acted out some things here and there. It was like we were breathing life into our creation bit by bit from multiple sides. I acted for serious, fun, all kinds of moments, and I gave it my all to the audition.


Iris: Misaki Kuno

Q1. What were your thoughts after you finished auditioning?

It was really fun!

Q2. What kind of impressions do you have regarding the character you play? Could you tell us anything you felt during recording?

I feel that Watson-chan is charming with how she's still so young but is an intellectual. So, during recording, I gave her an earnest impression of a "young prodigy".


Baroque: Kenjiro Tsuda

Q1. What were your thoughts after you finished auditioning?

I had a lot of fun auditioning for my part under the especially polite discussion and direction on site.

Q2. What kind of impressions do you have regarding the character you play? Could you tell us anything you felt during recording?

I believe he's the kind of character who doesn't show very much emotion or zeal, so I figured I could let him "show a little zeal whenever possible"... Yet, he still keeps his cool throughout the arguments and intense progression of the trial, so I had to maintain a delicate balance between that cool and any zeal I had.


Asougi: Yuichi Nakamura

Q1. What were your thoughts after you finished auditioning?

I didn't have a lot of material to work with during audition, but I spent a long time focusing deep in the subject matter.

Q2. What kind of impressions do you have regarding the character you play? Could you tell us anything you felt during recording?

I feel that he's a character with a core strength that's different from Ryuunosuke's. I think the heat (core strength) from the end of the 19th century, where this game is set, is different from the heat (core strength) from nowadays, and I acted out my role based on that.

[T/N: I believe he's referring to the pressure attorneys face in Japan at the time and the extra resilience Asougi has to hold to be one in that time period.]


Narrator: Takayuki Sugou

Q1. Could you tell us anything you felt during recording as the "narrator"?

It was plenty more work than I had thought it'd be. (laughs) Getting just the right tone and such is rather difficult. I first put a lot of effort into it, but because we came to run low on time, I tried to get through it quickly, and it instead became too dull. It was difficult work to find the balance during acting to achieve the ideal point, but I still enjoyed my time acting.


Huh, this didn't actually take me as long as I thought it would, though I wish I wasn't interrupted so much. Could someone check my work to make sure I haven't mistaken anything? Thanks in advance, and thanks for the opportunity.

I have a nasty habit of over-thinking these things... Sherlock's ridiculous train of thought was a big tip-off in itself, and with the descriptions of Nikomina in Famitsu it should have been especially obvious. That said, I'm surprised at how blunt this is. I mean, they go and demo a joint reasoning thing with Roylott in multiple venues, cutting it off because of *spoilers*, then shows another joint reasoning part, again cutting it off. Then on Famitsu they pretty much give it away by pretending that Roylott never existed. Maybe it was a little too obvious, but I suppose it has to be for an introduction to a new mechanic.

If anything, my discovery of the Roylott reference makes it highly likely that it's just a made-up disguise and not based on anybody. Maybe Nikomina is a fan of the Sherlock Holmes stories and that plays a part in this.
