thread_title:  Aselia, the ''Tales'' wiki recruitment 

message: If no one has any objections, I'm gonna change the character names to their official names from the only official English release of Tales of Phantasia in any way, shape, or form, the GBA release. If anyone has a problem, they can e-mail a Namco-Bandai representative and ask what the official English language names are for the characters. Anyway, am I the only one who finds "Cless" and "Klarth" very odd and unnatural sounding? Yoshiguy 01:09, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Whoops. How did I miss that? Well, whatever, it's already archived, so no one is going to continue with it, eh? I'd like to see some kind of consensus on this, as the page would benefit from some sort of change. Anyway, nearly every other article has official English language names take preference over the original language names. This is the English Wikipedia, isn't it?Yoshiguy 20:34, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Sadly, the previous archived discussion never really came to a consensus-based conclusion, and universally applying the EN GBA names is going to reignite this problem again; just wait until we can resolve this issue. The article has bigger (content) problems than the name inconsistency. Tsunade 10:11, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Ah, I see what you mean. I just skimmed through the article and saw the names and I really wanted to change them, but it's a bit too big of a change, so I decided to start this topic. I'd like to try my best to better this article, but sadly, my editing skills are lackluster at best. Sigh. What're ya gonna do about it? Yoshiguy 23:13, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm currently working on the Tales of Destiny, Tales of Destiny 2, Tales of Rebirth articles; this article has a variety of issues as well... the problem is that people generally see the only English translation as terrible, whereas the original Japanese version and PS1 port were superior. Well, you should probably defer to the in-region localization, but the status quo of this article is not so bad. Personally, I'm used to the original names because I have only played the original SNES version; all those add-in links to Symphonia didn't help the situation either in the N.A. localization because now two plots are tied up in one another. The bottom line is that Cress/Claus is official, unfortunately, but there is no will to change the names back. We've had edit wars on this before, so it probably needs outside mediation.

text: I've gone ahead and changed the names to the official ones used in the English translations of the game and OVA series.  I've read through the discussion of this matter already, and as much as it may upset people, there is simply no reason not to use the official names provided for the English language release of the game.  The quality of Phantasia's translation does not change the fact that these are the official EL names intended for use by Namco.  The fact that these names are used in the English release of the OVA series (for which Namco was consulted) only confirms this (see here http://www.talesofphantasiadvd.com/).  The names are official for the English speaking world, and as such, they should be used as the primary names for the English Wikipedia. 138.88.106.112 19:07, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you, 138! I didn't want to cause any friction by just up and changing the names like that, but I'm glad someone was bold enough to do it! Personally, I thought those names sounded  a bit like something a giant panda with Parkinson's disease made up. Well, endangered ursine creatures with nervous system disorders aside, I'm glad that this is done! Yoshiguy 02:53, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Under the definition Wikipedia uses, the PSP version should be considered a remake.
:I wonder what problem Aoimusha with calling the game a remake. By definition, it is an enhanced remake regardless of what Aoimusha thinks so I'll continue to change it back to remake whenever he tries to edit it. LordArcadio 19:50, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

message: In which English version was Mint ever referred to as "Mint Adenade?" (that was not a serious question) My manual for the English release of the GBA version has her listed as "Mint Adnade." Cutepresea (talk) 02:35, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Adenade? 

message: This article switches between the English and Japanese names far too many times. I honestly don't feel like fixing it at the moment. I know people argue too much over which one to use, but the article honestly looks bad at the moment. Cutepresea (talk) 18:16, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Inconsistant 

message: The De-jap names shouldn't even exist in this article, the GBA translation is the official (and most current) source for names, I know many people prefer the older names, but the official ones take priority as they are official. I'll be switching the names back within the hour. djtjj 19:21, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I wouldn't exactly say "most current," either, because the PSP release of Phantasia in Japan is more recent than the GBA release here. The GBA version is really the -only- source for their English names besides the OVA (which is where I think "Adenade" popped up from) and appearances by the characters in other games. Although I'm not complaining. The more consistent, the better. This article switched between them way too much, anyway. If you feel like changing every Japanese name in the article to the English ones, go ahead, I'm not arguing against it. (I will admit, though, it is kind of hard to trust the names created by someone who translated "Ragnarok" as "kangaroo.") 67.232.244.124 (talk) 09:24, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: My manual for the English version says "Adnade." I don't know about the status screen because I got irritated with the translation. "Arch" was probably just a typo. I've done the same thing myself before from typing too quickly. And Pegasus was a correct translation, though, so I see no reason why they should change it just to stay consistent with the other mythology used in the game, even if it was out of place. Although I wasn't arguing against using the English names. Like I was saying, I don't care whether we use the English names or the Japanese names in this article as long as it's consistent throughout. 67.232.243.22 (talk) 06:25, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
