History Headscratchers / GhostTrick

*** ...wait a minute. While it doesn't make logical sense, those two instances have something in common: [[spoiler:a four-minute trick within a four-minute trick]]. Maybe that changes the rules?

** This also goes for the van driver. Why do you start at the park, rather than the restaurant?

* Quick question: When Sissel does his 4 minutes trick, he starts wherever the body had died at. [[spoiler: How do they go from the sub in the middle of the ocean to Temsik Park if Yomiel's body is in the sub? Shouldn't they have started in the middle of the ocean?]]

* What criteria does an object (not a living person) have to meet before gaining a core? I mean, you could possess a drop of water in one case; why couldn't you possess the ocean? ... That would be awesome.

* Um... Why exactly doesn't Yomiel want anyone to know about him? I get that he'd get in trouble for the hostage situation or whatever, but really, a desperately lonely immortal should really just tell someone. He'd get famous.

** Okay, I haven't played the game in a while, so I'm probably remembering things wrong, but I think I just assumed he was too ignorant to really understand what a [[spoiler:kidnapping]] was supposed to be. Missile didn't know either.

* Does Sissel lose all memory of things he learns while repeating his "four minutes before" trips? I can justify repeated dialogue as GameplayAndStorySegregation, but what about in chapter 10? If he follows the immediate phone call, he learns that [[spoiler:Beauty faked the minister's daughter's screams for help to convince him she was kidnapped]]. Yet even if he hears that, once he actually saves the man's life, he still believes it might be true. And if he does forget, how does that work with [[spoiler:Ray remembering his first failed attempt to get Sissel's help]]?

** Of course he did! FOR SCIENCE!

* The superintendent built a replica of the RobinsonGoldbergContraption [[spoiler:to figure out how it could have malfunctioned the way it did]]. Did he ''really'' have to load the gun?

** I'd like to think that Sissel just didn't want to [[spoiler:occupy the same core as a dog]] during the gameplay segments at the end, but he had no problem possessing Ray's lamp in the beginning because [[spoiler:he didn't know that Ray was Missile]].

** If I remember correctly the [[spoiler:fiancee dies after hearing the news of Yomiel's "death. After wards she writes a note saying, "Yomiel, I'm coming for you" Seeing as she thought he was dead, we can only guess she committed suicide to follow him to death. At least, before the 10 year change.]]
* What exactly did Lynne do with [[spoiler: Missile's corpse]], after picking it up from the park? She never stopped at home afterwards, so we can assume she's still [[{{Squick}} carrying it around with her]] when they are [[spoiler: in the submarine]]. So... why?!

* Just what was that machine attached to the head of the fat prisioner? He puts it on himself, so I suppose it's nothing ''bad'', but...

* In the ending, why [[spoiler:the two blue assassins don't show up with alternate futures?]] Even minor characters like the chef, who had nothing to do with the case at all, get one.
* Just how did Lynne and Rowd [[spoiler:board the submarine by the end of the game? I mean, did the submarine wait above water level for them to sneak in, or they swam there undetected, and opened the hatch from outside without flooding it or anyone noticing?]]
** Not 100% sure on this, but [[spoiler:Because Cabanela gave them the radio tracker watch to trace the bullet he shot Yomiel with, they were able to follow him. And I think either Lynne or Jowd say outright that they stowed away on Yomiel's boat when Yomiel went to rendezvous with the sub.]]

* In the first chapter of the game, you possess Ray's lamp so that he can lean over so you can reach Lynne the first time. Yet, by the end of the game, [[spoiler:you can play as both yourself and Missile, and the two of you simply cannot possess the same object at the same time]].

* Is it never explained how Beauty can [[spoiler:sense the presence of ghosts]]? If not, that seems ripe for a sequel. Or maybe [[spoiler:Yomiel]] told her.

* Just how did Lynne and Rowd [[spoiler:board the submarine by the end of the game? I mean, did the subarine wait above water level for them to sneak in, or they swan there undetected, and opened the hatch from outside without flooding it or anyone noticing?]]

* The fact the games stops time as soon as the person you're trying to save dies JustBugsMe. It'd be cool to see people's reactions to your changes, even if the crime succeeded like for example [[spoiler:I can totally envision a FlatWhat from Yomiel if Sissel replaces the bullet with an iron helmet mid-flight.]]

* Lynne remembers [[spoiler:being saved by Sissel when he altered the driver's fate not to hit the restaurant, once the clock goes over her own death's time, right? Why doesn't anyone other than Yomiel remember Sissel's doings after the 10 year gap closes, then?]]

** Well, [[spoiler:Missile]] has that power too. That's how he saved Kamila. Perhaps he assumed Sissel had the same thing? He didn't know then that powers change over time and so, the next time they met, perhaps he was just banking on the hope that he would have the power. Not to mention that [[spoiler:Yomiel]] mentions the powers stem from some sort of 'Manipulation' and 'Time.' [[spoiler:Yomiel, with the fragment, is the only one who seems to have regeneration abilities rather than time travel. Maybe having the fragment is the deciding factor. Though that would mean that Sissel might not have the power of time travel anymore.]]

* Okay, so at the end, we discover the circumstances under which [[spoiler:Missile discovers Sissel's Ghosting and Tricking powers for objects]], but when does he [[spoiler:discover that Sissel can possess corpses and rewind to four minutes before someone's death]]? It couldn't have happened in the period shown, since it was so brief, but we're led to believe that that was the only time they encountered one another. [[spoiler:That time around, anyway.]]

** Umm... I'm pretty sure she wasn't carrying it around with her. For all we know, she could have put the body under some rocks to give him a burial. Or to keep it safe for a potential Ghost Trick by Sissel.

[[WMG:When and how did red-guy's fiancee die?]]
If I recall, she was never shown on screen. Did she die before or after the park incident, and how did she die?
