Author Topic: Otoge Bloopers (Read 20727 times)

We have all seen errors (both massive and minor) while playing otome games, so I am curious what everyone has seen. They can be typos gone really wrong, continuity issues, visual mistakes, etc....

Spoiler Hidden:

In any case, I have always enjoyed looking for mistakes because it shows just how badly translated/edited/proofread things can get. Sometimes they code incorrectly, so the MC's name ends up becoming "%FIRSTNAME%," and special characters, like "é," won't be recognized. However, some issues are simply loading errors. I cannot believe how many times I have seen heads on different bodies, or heads simply floating... or zit heads. Perhaps include images (use spoiler tags if it gets too long) so that we can laugh. I have more screenshots, but I would need to hunt through my files and upload them.

~ Otoge Bloopers ~

Spoiler Hidden:

Ninja Assassin:

When Aoi is about to fix the MC's hair, the MC notes that her black strands fall to the ground. A frame or two later, the CG appears to show the MC's bouncy, PINK hair. This is what happens when the writers are not actively collaborating with the artists.
Sion versus Shion. Since names are a tricky thing, technically "Sion" and "Shion" are synonymous; however, for the sake of consistency, they need to keep to one thing.

Angel or Devil:

When the MC first meets Diaval in his route, she notices that he has black feathers on his back. Diaval's sprite distinctly shows that he has bat-like, or dragon-like, wings.
Spoiler Hidden:
In the Reaper's Choice (whatever it's called) Checkpoint, the layers in Ruvel's sprite are incorrectly placed, so the wrong parts overlap.

Magic Sword:

The layer with Ray’s head disappeared, leaving only his hair, and Ethan’s head keenly replaced it. Sort of. Glitch.
Spoiler Hidden:

Ninja Love:

In Goemon's route, a CG ends up getting covered by a scene from Rennoshin's route.
Spoiler Hidden:

Nobunaga zit glitch.
Spoiler Hidden:

In one of Munenori's spinoffs, the MC is sitting in front of him on a horse, but the text says that their backs are touching.
Spoiler Hidden:

My Sweet Prince

Lambert's outfits like to transform while he is talking.

Scarlet Fate:

Gentoka stares at the MC with both eyes, when his right eye is supposed to be closed.
Spoiler Hidden:

My Fairy Tales

Spoiler Hidden:
After the MC regains her voice, Ocean's sprite changes into merman-mode for several frames before returning to human-mode.
Ocean's nude sprite is incorrectly edited. The band on his right arm should either not be worn, or it should have been drawn completely. There is also that piece on his pelvis that remains from his human attire.
Spoiler Hidden:

"Wet," you say?

Destiny Ninja

Kajiwara is referred to as Yoshitsune's brother in Hyosuke's route by mistake.
In one of Enya's spinoffs, one scene's text gets jumbled, causing Enya to bark, his dog to talk, and Enya to fondly refer to himself in the third person.
Spoiler Hidden:

Be My Princess:

In GREE, I have seen plenty of cases in which the wrong prince's name is being used in a route.
In one of Joshua's gachas, when Leonardo is shown, his sprite's head duplicates and covers his face somewhat skewed.
Spoiler Hidden:

Considering that Joshua is driving a foreign car based on the stock background, this action is impossible if he is the driver.
Spoiler Hidden:

Although it is canon that Catherine is seven, in reality, she behaves more like a preteen or young teenager. Alan, who becomes seven in the main story, is nowhere as mentally mature.

My Sweet Bodyguard:

The chapter title screens have shown Midori without a left hand, and Sora lacks a left hand in a scene.
Spoiler Hidden:
The GREE version is notorious for forgetting to remove previous, underlying sprites, so characters are often shown with an extra arm or two whenever they raise their arms.

Contract Marriage:

A couple sprites for Sawatari oddly severely decreases in quality in some scenes.

Lol these are funny.

Honestly I think the more I play these games on my phone, the more my brain seems to overlook all the mistranslations, coding errors, etc. They're there, but I don't seem to notice.

But you're right, it's kind of crazy that these errors are present in published mobile games that some people are playing money to play. The PC otome games I've played have never had these issues, but then again they're all been english games to start with, with one maybe being german translated to english.

Ahaha yeah they are funny! I found more without realizing it xD

I think that I am nearing that mistake in Ocean's route, since that sounds exactly like what is about to happen. XD

IKR, since I have been playing a pool of dubiously translated mobile otome games for over a year, my mind has become much more tolerant towards all the common grammar and spelling derps while playing. Of course, it does not stop me from critically noticing them. Typos will always exist, even in super popular endeavors. *stares at books and RPGs*

The OEL games are also often smaller groups, as well, so they would probably adjust things if they get called out for it. But committed OEL groups tend to also have really good PRs and QCs~

Ahaha yep! And OMG. I died laughing at Enya's Love Goes Around Event. His, MC, and dog's lines got all mixed up LOLOL. I just...ahaha. Thank you Aria for bringing me back to Destiny Ninja. I had a good laugh xD

[member=19266]Vixey[/member] We tend to not care too much about mistakes and hav come to accept them. I agree with Aiwethryne --it's not really something you look for, but sometimes you can't help, but notice them after you've gone through so many titles. I personally laughed at the ones she posted because I hadn't quite seen those and they're seriously funny! As I continue to play---it just becomes more apparent without me realizing it. Once this thread was created--I just post what I remember xD sharing the bloopers give good laughs ovob

Yamato's hand here bothers me

LOLOL. They're all the same size xD long fingers!! Middle is usually suppose to be the longest... Pfft. That extended pinky ahaha! Oh voltage :')

Vixey · **Reply #8 on:** August 13, 2014, 07:12:26 AM

This isn't a blooper but just.. a design thing? That is really bugging me.

First with Angel or Devil and now with Lost Island - can they stop making character designs where someone's hands are permanently.. up?

Spoiler Hidden:

It's just so.. jarring and really annoys me.

Aiwethryne · **Reply #9 on:** August 13, 2014, 07:18:27 AM

LOL The image search for Xenosaga's chaos and his forever glove adjusting across three games. *coughcough*

Having their hands up forever or stuffed in a yukata makes it kind of hard to do any caressing~ I had hoped that there would be more poses in at least Lost Island because the sprites were so superb, but it was only the expression. So disappointing~

So many of us saw that weirdness with the mixed names in the new Enya spinoff. When Enya started barking, I took it for granted for a moment, thinking he was doing that on purpose. But then his dog started talking.

Haha! that's funny the endless glove adjusting. I guess if he ever gets his gloves the way he wants them, all hell breaks loose. :o

Ugh I know right? If a guy's hands are up he can't touch me and stuff! Atleast Diaval fully commits to it while Shota is permanently hover handing, haha.

I actually have no interest in ever playing Diaval's route just because of that hand thing. It just.. ruins it for me. It would be one thing if he switched to that pose once in a while, but when every pose every outfit every expression he still has his hand rubbing his neck.. I just can't get into it. Honestly if his hand is going to be anywhere it should be in his pants. That would be way more appropriate if every time you see him, he has one hand down his pants. Hahahah xD

Shota though I can cut him some slack since he probably doesn't know what to do with his hands in general. Haha.

Riyumi · **Reply #11 on:** August 13, 2014, 06:22:41 PM

I'm actually on Diaval's route and that bugged me too. But his route, to me, is worth the read. I thought they'd at least change his pose but he's the ONLY one doing that. At least Ruvel has a "I'm
Holding scythe/I'm not holding scythe" moments.

Diaval

Sakuragawa · **Reply #12 on:** August 13, 2014, 08:33:27 PM

The position of Diaval's hand bothered me at first but I got over it.

Spoiler Hidden:

What bothers me most is that they all have belts/sashes around their middle.

Enya, you narcissist.

Spoiler Hidden:

Aiwethryne · **Reply #13 on:** August 13, 2014, 11:25:02 PM

*snorting* I really never liked Enya in the first place~

I fixed your image code, and I'll merge your posts in a moment. KC removed the merge mod because it was causing strange automatic merge duplicates after saved edit updates.

What's wrong with the belts~? All the more to tie– *coughcough* I seriously feel I've seen a sprite in some game with a hand in his pants, though some anime characters seem to have problems with buttons and zippers because their flys are always open. Sensual...?
