Extra info/corrections/comments on this episode:
* If I had chosen the options allowing to get the Namingway card in Treno, I would have been able to display later a special dialogue from the Guy Doing Research in Duagerreo (without having to reset afterwards), visible only by talking to the him while having no Namingway cards but after having shown the card before (this involves showing him the card at least once and then discarding it; I would have got the second card after that when revisiting Desert Palace). However, the choice I made at 31:11 leads to more interesting scenes about Vivi's past.
* I noticed when doing the test run on emulator that if you check the Theater Ship mockup for the first time in Disc 3, Dutiful Daughter Slai will comment.
