Talk:Star Ocean: The Second Story (manga)

message: I think the Relationships section should be removed.  To arrange a list like that is stereotyping and it should be up to the reader of the manga to infer the characters' feelings on one another.  It is also not that significant. -yumeko
:Done, I also made an attempt to delete the more irrelevant character information - Tsunade 10:00, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Adventure, Fantasy, Science fiction
Thoughts? If not Fantasy, there a sub-genre which flows better? Science fantasy, I presume? Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 07:25, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't mind at all. I'm not to good with the genre links :)  Science fantasy? If that's an accepted genre, then that would be accurate.  Its a space thing, and Claude has a ray gun for a short time, but also has magic, dragons, and other fantasy elements. AnmaFinotera (talk) 07:44, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, I read the plot and that one came to mind. You really think it applies? Well, I'll get back to working on this in the morning or afternoon (sleepy). Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 08:08, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it would, at least for the anime.  I think it sticks to the manga fairly well, though, so probably for both. AnmaFinotera (talk) 08:37, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

text: You're sure that action doesn't fit? Then again, if we stick to the new genres, it would be good if :Category:Science fantasy was created. Thoughts? Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 16:15, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Hmmm...pretty sure from my memories of it. It does have some actions, but that isn't really the central focus as much as the adventure and journey.  I debated romance as a genre, because of the thing between Claude and Rena, but if it doesn't fit for InuYasha, it sure wouldn't fit here.  Hmmm...thinking on it, though InuYasha is obviously longer (though just as lacking in ending LOL), maybe action could fit. AnmaFinotera (talk) 16:28, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Thing is, is there as much prominence of action as there is in, say, Dragon Ball? BTW, please join in on the InuYasha discussion as well. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 16:40, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: As Dragon Ball?  Hmmm...not a show I watch myself, but from what I have seen of it, I'd say no.  I rewatched the first five eps last night, and while there were a handful of fights, they are all pretty brief.  None of those four episode battles or the like ;-) I wonder if Sword and Sorcery would probably be a better fit than action?  Too many genres that it can kinda fit it.  AnmaFinotera (talk) 17:03, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: You lost me. Are you talking about Dragon Ball, InuYasha, or Star Ocean? And I wanted you to see if there are categories here which instead should belong on Star Ocean: The Second Story (manga). Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 17:50, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: For Sword and Sorcery, I was talking Star Ocean Second Story. :)  Hmmm...Space Odyseey fits most of the Star Ocean games, but I'm not sure if it quite fits this manga/anime, as there really is no space action beyond the first two minutes of the sequence.  Might have been intended for later, but alas, it is an incomplete story :P AnmaFinotera (talk) 19:13, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

text: That about right? Seems this series is a science fantasy somewhat like FMA. And I actually would like to know how it's sword and sorcery. Thoughts? Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 21:08, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: AnmaFinotera, I'd like to get those stylistics updated ASAP. Think you could respond to the above concerns? Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 06:23, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry, I missed your last message. I can't think of any similar anime series to compare to, but I think those three would fit.  Sword and sorcery because we have quite a few swordsmen (though the battles aren't that violent), several romantic elements, elements of magic and supernatural events, and each character has their own personal issues to deal with (which in typical RPG fashion ends up being a world-altering thing). AnmaFinotera (talk) 06:46, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay. I shall update the article per this discussion. Settled? Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 06:49, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yep. AnmaFinotera (talk) 07:11, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: If this is a manga, what's it doing in a film category (i.e. :Category:Sword-and-Sorcery films)? For that matter, what's it doing in "Sword and Sorcery"? I'll bring up the same point I brought up over at InuYasha: people associate "Sword and Sorcery" with Conan the Barbarian and Dungeons and Dragons. Star Ocean doesn't look like Conan or D&D. I think (if anything) Sword and planet fits better.--Nohansen (talk) 03:31, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I gave a response here. Though for this one, sword and planet feels better, however, the content there looks ORish. Ideas? Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 04:10, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
