• Interestingly, here (and apparently every place where the phrase がよい appears) the symbol used to end the sentence is the handakuten (゜) by mistake, rather than the full-stop (。). It's not easy to notice in-game, however. The handakuten is designed to be placed on the line above the kana, so it is drawn in the bottom region of the space and still looks basically the same as the full-stop.

You cannot enter here.

• This one appears within the block of menu command results, but I can't think of anything to make it show up. Attempting to use stairs where there are none, using Keys where there is no door, trying to open a door where there is no door...I'm stumped. It was apparently translated for the North American release, since it appears in a text dump by Blueberry Buttface on GameFAQs, but I have no idea where it could come up.
