I'm thinking of getting a quote from the film, but there's a bit of a discrepancy between the sub vs dub. In the sub, Sophie says, "Wait for me in the future", while in the dub it's "Find me in the future." I guess they sort of both convey the same thing, but I feel like the implications are a bit different. "Wait for me" feels more passive on Howl's end, but it closes the time loop where Sophie acknowledges how long Howl had to wait for her to figure out the solution and returns his heart from Calcifer.

On the other hand, "find me" is more passive on Sophie's end, but it starts the time loop (at least from Sophie's perspective) from the beginning of the film where they first meet and Howl's ring shines to show he finally found her, especially since he said "I was looking for you/I finally found you" (kind of similar in sub vs dub, I think).

I'm leaning more towards the sub version since that's the original language, but it is a bit wordier and imo less romantic than the dub version. What do you guys think? Let me know your thoughts, thank you!

Small thing I've been thinking about since the first game, but I always thought that white was the color of funeral clothing in imperial china, and in turn it'd also be the color for mourning. However, gaoyang is always shown wearing black, which is more of the mourning color in western cultures. Is there a reason for this?

I tried searching it up, specifically for tang dynasty china, but I just keep seeing that white is supposed to be the color. Is this just something the game chose to neglect to make it clearer to the players (prob bc chinese people wear black for mourning nowadays too)? Most of the actresses got their nails done, so maybe the costume department is just more lenient on some stuff.

If anyone knows, please share!
