message: Anyone know what is going on with Nintendo Power's 4/10 rating for the DS version of this game?
It is seriously slandering the game's otherwise good name and bringing down it's average rating at gamerankings.

message: An "original story"? Although I have never played the game, I can assure you that if I had, the chances of me calling the story "original" would be very slim. Due to my lack of expertise, I am leaving the article be for the moment.

thread_title: Xbox 360 Co-op

message: The release dates paragraph sure seems like it would do better as a table, or could perhaps be eliminated in favor of the material in the infobox.  A prose list of "Was released on X on Y. was released on P on Q. ..." doesn't seem appropriate.
I don't know what the usual style is for video games, so I'm not just doing it myself.

thread_title:  Release dates paragraph 

message: Mobile Version for NA is out, and I've playing it since 3/APR/08 (and it was released before that). 
Major differences:
* shorter title: it's now just "Puzzle Quest: Warlords"
* 8 starting choices (of 4 starting professions, one of each gender)
* no armors, weapons, or accessories at all. Instead, you gain random "runes". You have to "attune" the rune to your "hammer of the elements" by playing a game where you need to grab "potions" by eliminating whole rows with 4-of-a-kind or 5-of-a-kind. Different runes require rathering different number of potions (3-7). Should you reach an impasse (no moves left) the attunement is a failure. No spells are allowed during attunement. You can have max of 3 runes active on the weapon at a time. 
* some profession gets a LOT of runes, others get very few, but more spells. Some are better at creating skulls, and thus, doing direct damage
* there are no mounts, thus no mount spells 
* if you defeat an opponent three times or more, you can choose to "learn a spell" from the opponent instead of just fighting it. You must fill your mana (two or three types) to 30 each by collecting mana before your opponent. Skulls can reduce the opponent's mana if collected. No spells are allowed during "learn a spell" battles. 
* one can have a maximum of 6 spells. As one learns more spells, one must pick and choose the best combination. No cool-off period
* no companions
* no citadel actions
* gold earned goes toward towns, where one can choose "increase skill", where each attribute can be raised by paying an ever-increasing price per level
* xp earned goes levels. Once level is gained, you get 4 character points that you can allocate to your attributes. However, some attributes cost up to 3 character points to raise by 1, while others are 1 to 1 ratio.
Let me know if you need more details about the mobile version. This was on Verizon V.CAST network, played on LG VX8300 --Kschang77 (talk) 00:37, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I would suggest making a new section ("Mobile version") and include a brief overview of these details, if you have such information.  Puzzle Quest: Warlords should be redirected to point to that section. --MASEM 01:26, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mobile Version is Out, and it's quite different 

message: I added the line saying that the french/german release has fixed the companion bugs because I personally own said version (French box, booklet, game in English) and the companions DO work. I have not found this discussed anywhere else on the net though, so I can't provide a link 194.154.200.108 (talk) 12:24, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  European PSP Version  

message: I own the PSP and XBox 360 versions, and it was a shock for me the first time I discovered that all of the opponent-misses-a-turn spells have a recharge time on the XBox.  The very powerful ones that make your opponent miss three or more turns can take as many turns to recharge.  This feature is not present on the PSP version - apart from mana requirements, there are no restirctions on how often you can cast spells.  Is this noteworthy, do you think?165.142.249.81 (talk) 03:20, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Other version differences 

message: It seem there is a lot of criticism concerning that in this game you're shown a rather large map but only about 1/3 is actually used creating the illusion that there is more to the game after defeating Lord Bane.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.83.75.110 (talk) 22:00, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Removed from App Store 

message: As the remake has very similar gameplay to the original and not that much content on its own development (I was able to find this), it might be better to put the remake's reception as a subsection of the main article's Reception section and have the remake title redirect to the original title. We can add any additional development information about the remake to the original article.

thread_title:  Merging the remake article into the original article 

message: , you've reverted my change of "armor" to "armour"  with the reason . The reason I switched it was because this article has the template , and given that this was made in Australia, this is good reasoning per MOS:TIES. What do you think? —Panamitsu (talk) 00:41, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: The article was originally created with MDY dates and US-based spellings prior to this one diff  which unilaterly changed them based on simply the devs being Australian. While MOS:TIES may apply, that generally requires it to be a topic specifically dealing with something fully Australian, such as an article on the developers. at the VG project, we have long since determined that the country of the developer doesn't really implore national ties to a game, though other reasons may exist (for example, games with first release in Japan from Japanese developers will follow dates appropriate for Japan). So those tags at the top of the article violated MOS:RETAIN (as well as MOS:DATERET) when they were added, and I didn't catch that until now (given how infrequent this has been updated) — Masem (t) 01:27, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

text: However, in thinking it over, its probably better to just undo my revert, as to keep it Australian since enough time had passed. Just that I know when I worked on this way back, it was definitely not treated as Australian, hence why the change looked odd. — Masem (t) 01:32, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
