To help out, go to the articles Peer Review.

thread_title:  Featured Article Drive 

message: At this point in time, I believe that the FFVI article has reached a point where it is ready to be considered as an FAC.  As a group, editors from this project have worked on the article for nearly 2 months. Since then, Final Fantasy VI has received a lot of work to get its status raised to FA.  As of today, I have closed the peer review for the article and nominated the game for FAC, Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Final Fantasy VI.  Great work to everyone who has contributed to this article and helped make this what it is today. Now the final phase for the FA drive, please read the article over and vote appropriately on whether or not the article deserves to become a featured article. --ZeWrestler  Talk 14:12, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Final Fantasy VI FAC

message: A while ago, Warpedmirror provided these links Cid as an Oglop; Cid as a frog; Cid as a man to the different forms of Cid from Final Fantasy IX. I managed to take in-game screenshot myseld of the three forms of Cid, in PNG format, which makes them a little bit smaller file size, and non-lossy or non aparent loss compared to JPG. Here are the links to the in-game screenshots: Cid as an Oglop, Cid as  frog & Cid as a man.
I didn't know if you wanted these instead of the one on Cid's page because my human Cid is a little bit smaller due to being a screenshot directly from the game while the other one was probably resized. – DarkEvil 00:40, July 25, 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Cid 

message: We really should organise some wort of style guide (when I say we, I mean I will later ;) for the Final Fantasy articles. I've been proofreading a few lately, and I see a few things occuring that don't follow Wikipedia's guidelines. If we want this project to succeed we really should work on following the rules. It's only simple things like repeating links (ie. Final Fantasy in the title, but then Final Fantasy futher down, when it should be italicised) etc.
I hate nagging, but I'm trying to bring in Wikipedia policy. — CuaHL 17:50, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, people so seldom italicize game names when they do in fact need to be. --Dalkaen 13:36, August 2, 2005 (UTC)
Can people please add to Wikipedia:WikiProject Final Fantasy/Article style and then we can create some sort of guideline help for FF-edits? — CuaHL 23:26, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Wikibooks, Wikiquotes? 

message: *New thought that came to mind.  People are saying that we need to put in information in this article that is not picked up through the game and gamefaq.com.  Why not at a section about what were the games sales like? --ZeWrestler  Talk 18:52, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  New suggestions for reworking Final Fantasy articles 

message: I was thinking of starting an article about the various items found in the Final Fantasy series. We already have a few lists of locations and articles on summon magic, traditional magic, and character classes. It seems pretty fitting to me to have one because it's something that's remained relatively constant throughout every game. Of course, it would have to include common items like Potions and Pheonix Downs, but it could also be a place for special items like the Slave Crown. It could also explain the differences in the item systems of the games, such as how Final Fantasy II only allows items to be used in battle if they're equipped. I'd like to get everyone's feedback on this. ~ Hibana 18:33, August 2, 2005 (UTC)
*An article like that could be useful, as long as it doesn't go into the area of fancruft.  Other than that, it would deffinetly serve as a way of removing small articles about items that wont really receive much growth.  --ZeWrestler  Talk 18:57, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Items in Final Fantasy 

message: ====Images====
If you haven't seen it lately, take a look at Final Fantasy bestiary. The work User:DarkEvil has done is incredible.. and the amount of images included is insane. But that worried me just. The article shouldn't really be a image link dump, and we should be showing images rather than linking them right?
So here's what I propose (to all who have opinions on this). How about after every mention of the creature we put a small image after it, and then people can click links knowing they are images they're clicking on. It's hard to describe, so I threw what I was thinking up at my sandbox, here. What do you think? Links or little pictures? Great work though, DarkEvil. — CuaHL 03:54, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

How about subpages? Like Final Fantasy bestiary/A-M and Final Fantasy bestiary/N-Z? Would that be within Wikipolicy? — CuaHL 04:00, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Wikiportal? 

message: Hey all. I have a proposal - hear me out :). User:Seancdaug started this WikiProject with the Final  Fantasy editors in mind, but I don't think anyone expected this much. It got me thinking - there must be an easier way to organise the Final Fantasy pages and project and that. Looking at the amount of pages there are, and then thinking about the amount of pages there actually could be (I do mean quality articles, not stubs) - there are a lot. To be honest, I think that deserves its own community, and I don't think we need to rely on WikiProject CVG all the time (I'm not saying they won't be any help..).I think it's time we rearrange the front page of this Project and bring in useful things like the index, the to do list, and the date catalogue etc and make them more useful to those in the project.Also, how do people feel about making a FF peer review? That way we could have a page where people could say "proof read this for me" or where me and DarkEvil could get another opinion on the Final Fantasy bestiary. And how about our own collaboration of the week/fortnight/month where we can all help each other? I'm useless at explaining things, but maybe you catch my drift. I'm also interested in finding out who's still actually involved in the project. Ideas? Comments? Flames? — CuaHL 14:20, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Roll Call 

message: I mentioned this on the List of Final Fantasy VII locations talk page, but I figured I should draw some attention to it here as well. Here's what I said:
The word Midgar is actually cut off in the article because the top left hand picture covers it up. Any idea how to fix it without messing up the whole layout? --Vanguard 14:57, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
