thread_title:  Removal of Fan-translation dates 

message: Ive noticed that on the internet that the PC ports of Final Fantasy are scarce and hard to come by. Does anyone know why they might be out of print while the original playstation titles are still in print (though you cant wiew them on the store for some reason). --Psi edit
*Probably because of the changes in operating systems for PC over the years. There are many old PC games that don't work on windows XP for various reasons whereas the Playstation versions work on all versions of the Playstation because they are backwards compatible. That's why you see most old PC games being rereleased by companies such as sold out etc. The games are reencoded to become up to date with modern drivers etc. I don't know why Final Fantasy on the PC has never been rereleased.

replies: text: I disagree. Bahamut and some music tracks does not a Final Fantasy make. In fact I feel that all spin-offs, that are not themselves Final Fantasy games, should be removed. This is a List of Final Fantasy titles, not List of Final Fantasy related titles. This includes: The Chocobo series; Super Mario RPG; Ehrgeiz; Kingdom Hearts and possibly even the SaGa games. --JiFish(Talk/Contrib) 23:11, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

text: I don't see how it's "more of a Final Fantasy game" than Ehrgeiz. Ehrgeiz features multiple characters from the series in playable, non-cameo roles. Super Mario RPG features a song and an oblique reference to a mythological figure that isn't unique to the Final Fantasy series, anyway (and bears almost no resemblance to that figure's representation in the actual series, anyway). I think strongly related series should be kept in the list, because it's the sort of thing that people are likely to look up. They should be properly labelled and identified, and I don't think we should go overboard in the list (the presence of one or two minor cameos is probably not all that notable), but I think the information itself is worthwhile. – Seancdaug 23:22, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: SMRPG is more well known and more popular, though. Crazyswordsman 03:45, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Er... so? Grand Theft Auto is more popular than any of the games we're talking about, but that doesn't make it a Final Fantasy-related title. Several playable characters from the Final Fantasy series (one of whom is displayed very prominently on the box art, no less) makes a game notable in the context of the series. The references in SMRPG aren't much more than injokes, if that (I don't really buy, for instance, that "Bahamutt" is a direct reference to the series). They might deserve a footnote reference in the SMRPG article, but to overemphasize that connection is to give a fundamentally misleading impression of the game, IMO. Besides, popularity is a pretty lousy criteria for inclusion, since it really doesn't say anything about the game itself. – Seancdaug 02:22, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

text: I really see no reason why Super Mario RPG should be added to the list. This is a list of Final Fantasy games, not a list of games made by Square Enix. A cameo appearance doesn't make something a Final Fantasy game, and many Square Enix games have similar themes simply because they had similar development teams. Think of all the cameos that Mario has made, but few people would say that all of those are Mario games. Link even makes an appearance in Super Mario RPG, but no one is saying that it is a Legend of Zelda game. While I agree that Kingdom Hearts, Ehrgeiz, Final Fantasy Legend, and Final Fantasy Adventure are not Final Fantasy games, they do either prominently feature Final Fantasy characters or have the name Final Fantasy, making them easily mistakeable for Final Fantasy games. I doubt that could be said of Super Mario RPG. --Cswrye 14:59, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Barring some persuasive reasoning by someone else, I want to remove these entries as they are in no way Final Fantasy games apart from a marketing approach (their US names) from a long time ago.  This is a list of Final Fantasy titles.  They are neither spin offs nor are they related in any significant way.  They do not belong on the page. If anything, a small text entry can be added explaining their absence, but they don't deserve the mentions they currently have. Deusfaux 00:09, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: * Wikipedia does not serve the US alone.  In Europe SD was known as Mystic Quest, with no reference to Final Fantasy at all. The game has also been since remade and restored with it's proper name in the US (Mana Series). A substantial time ago some executive decided to apply a namesake to the game that fans were familiar with to help it sell. This an FF game it does not make. It was also a project started and cancelled before the first FF.  Also I take issue with your suggestion "most" English speakers know these games as Final Fantasy games. Do you have some reference on that? Wikipedia should be serving people with the correct referenced infos, not reinforcing once-upon-a-time perceptions a select group of people had that were never true in the first place.  Even other sites like http://www.ffcompendium.com/h/release.shtml do not include these titles as spin offs or related games, as they simply are not. Like I suggested before, at BEST a footnote somewhere can be made explaining their absence, but as they are not Final Fantasy titles, they do not belong as entries in a list of them. Deusfaux 21:03, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: * The "correct" info is that these games were marketed to a significant portion of the world as Final Fantasy titles, regardless of whether or not they were initially developed with that intention. Anything beyond that is editorializing: as writers of an encyclopedia, we don't have the authority determine at what level a game can be considered a "legitimate" part of the series. Obviously, we shouldn't try to cover up the fact that a game was originally released under a different title, but no one's suggesting that. As for "reinforcing once-upon-a-time perceptions"? If, "once-upon-a-time," these games were marketed to a large audience as Final Fantasy titles, then it's our responsibility to record and report that fact. I can try and find you a reference, but I'm a bit mystified that you'd try and dispute this: they were released in the largest English-speaking video game market as Final Fantasy titles, and they've not (with the Sword of Mana remake exception) been rereleased in that market as anything other than Final Fantasy titles. It's not a state secret that they were released originally in Japan as part of a seperate series, of course, but I think it's reasonable to assume that a large segment of its audience has never done the outside research necessary to know this. Add to this the fact that Wikipedia is supposed to give preference to names that the "majority of English speakers would most easily recognize" (see Wikipedia:Naming conventions), and it's likely that a fair number of researchers will look for information regarding those games here. The simple fact of the matter is that they are Final Fantasy titles, going by the very simple and relatively uncontroversial metric that they are titles that bear the Final Fantasy name. That they may have come about the name differently from other games in the franchise is worthy of note, but that basic fact remains. In bearing that name, they belong here, and in the interests of maintaining a neutral point of view we should not be applying any other sort of criteria. Again, I strongly ask that the information be restored. – Seancdaug 22:33, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: * Furthermore, consensus at this point would be meeting halfway, which at least I was prepared to accept as much as I think they do not belong at all. That is, to mention them on the page (including that they are not part or or spin offs of the series proper) and not giving them full blow entries with logos and such.  But again, there needs to be other voices on the matter. Deusfaux 04:29, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

I disagree with your reasoning, sure, and if I'd been active on Wikipedia at the time you'd first brought it up, I'd have said so then, but I wasn't, so I can't very blame you for not knowing my reaction before I did :-) – Seancdaug 05:25, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

text: Has the Final Fantasy WikiProject developed a policy about whether or not these games are considered part of the series for encyclopedic purposes? If it has, I think that's what the list should go by. I'll be willing to express my own opinion. I very much disagree with Seancdaug in that I do not think that having the Final Fantasy name automatically makes a game part of the series. A franchise is more than just its name, and it is possible for a product to have the name but not be part of the franchise, and it is likewise possible for a game to be part of the franchise while going by a different name. I think that Square Enix makes it pretty clear that it does not consider these games to be part of the series, and most Final Fantasy web sites generally state that these are not Final Fantasy games if they mention these games at all. Although I cannot confirm this, I suspect that most people currently familiar with these games would not consider them Final Fantasy games. That being said, I actually support (though not strongly) Deusfaux's compromise of putting them on the page but making it clear that they are neither part of the Final Fantasy series nor true spin-offs of it. I'm thinking of putting them in the "Related games" section and giving them the same treatment as the other related games; that is, providing less detail than we do for the actual Final Fantasy games. (For the record, I would also advocate putting Chrono Trigger in this section as well since it was part of Final Fantasy Chronicles. Even though it is clearly not part of the Final Fantasy series, being part of a compilation that bore the Final Fantasy provides it just as much of a relationship to the series as SaGa or Seiken Desetsu.) Have I thoroughly succeeded in ticking off people on both sides? :-) --Cswrye 04:46, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The project oversees the articles, yes, but I'm not sure that's really relevant. Just because they fall under our general oversight doesn't mean that we need to put them here. Personally, my problem remains that the argument for removing them is based on editorial perception: we don't feel that they "belong" as part of the franchise. That's a highly subjective reasoning, and its one held by a bunch of people who are generally deeply steeped in the history and lore of the series. The problem is, we're not the intended audience of an article like this. I maintain that we should be writing this for people who aren't that familiar with the series, and whose knowledge of the series's canon may be limited to seeing a particular game on the shelf of Toys 'R Us a decade ago. Those are the kind of people who are going to know of Final Fantasy Legend II, not SaGa II, and they're the sort of people who are going to come looking for that kind of information here. That said, putting them in the "related games" section probably does make more sense that putting them anywhere else, and if that's less controversial, I say go for it. – Seancdaug 05:25, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: * People who arent familiar with the series and come here will immediately be able to see what is part of it and what is not. It's best then to inform them right off the bat with the proper information, not perpetuate a confusion that should have ended a long time ago.  People who saw the game on a shelf are not going to come to this list trying to find the game, they're going to search straight up for "Final Fantasy Legend" and get directed to that game's page - which will also have a mention that the game is actually NOT part of the Final Fantasy series despite it's name at the time. These titles were in the related games section which is where they were removed from, and yes if anything the note should go there behind the other truly related games - but I strongly feel they should not have the same kind of entry (graphic and all) as the other games.  Just an italicized note saying "Despite their names, Final Fantasy Adventure and Final Fantasy Legend (I-III), are not part of the Final Fantasy series and are thus absent from this list, but can be found on the Seiken Densetsu and SaGa series pages, respectively."  <-- where the titles would link to the wiki entries for those games, and people can get all the info on them they want.  Would appreciate more input as well from others. Deusfaux 06:30, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: *The problem is that we're once again back to editorializing. We do not have the authority to determine what defines a Final Fantasy game. If Squaresoft saw to release the games as Final Fantasy titles, who are we to say that they were wrong to do so? Particularly when, by any reasonable metric, they have a lot more authority to make these kind of decisions than we do.  We're not keepers of the canon, and it's our responsibility to document the series in the broadest sense. By economic fluke, these games have a connection to the series, and it really shouldn't be any more complicated than that. Indeed, for 75% of the games in question, they have never been released to an English speaking audience as anything other than Final Fantasy games. And the remaining 25% would qualify for inclusion on entirely different grounds, anyway: the Chocobo series, Kingdom Hearts, and Ehrgeiz are included because they feature characters and creatures from the series, as does Seiken Densetsu. No one has suggested providing "improper" information, merely reflecting the reality of the way these games were marketed. – Seancdaug 07:30, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: *Stepping back for a moment, I've actually taken a moment to do some actual research. As it happens, the original Seiken Densetsu was, as it happens, marketed in Japan as a gaiden to the Final Fantasy series, and is actually listed as an example of the gaiden concept in that article. Evidence of this can be found by comparing :Image:Seiken Densetsu logo.jpg with, for instance, :Image:FFX-2 logo.jpg: the katakana for Fainaru Fantajī (ファイナルファンタジ) appears at the bottom of both logos. So while we may continue to fight tooth and nail over whether or not the SaGa games should be included, Adventure is a textbook example of a spin-off, and as such I'm going to restore it (though obviously not its sequels) to the article tomorrow unless somewhere yells at me not to <grin>. – Seancdaug 07:41, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

text: No, but neither we would fail to mention the fact that Final Fantasy IV was originally released in North America as Final Fantasy II. We have a big section explaining the inconsistency at the top of the page, and mention the different names as the first bullet point in the two affected games. The reason for doing this, of course, is that it's still quite conceivable that someone might only be aware of this game as Final Fantasy II, and would not realize that that it has another title. Furthermore, it's a part of the series, insofar as the way these games were released and marketed to North American gamers is an important part of the information we should convey. And, frankly, this is even more vital with the SaGa games: at the very least, both Final Fantasy IV and Final Fantasy VI were subsequently rereleased with the proper numbering. None of the three SaGa games have ever made it outside of Japan as anything other than Final Fantasy Legend, and I think it's hardly unreasonable to think that many of our readers are only going to be aware of them as Final Fantasy titles. I agree that they shouldn't get the same level of coverage as the other titles, but I feel strongly that we should have a short paragraph in the "related games" section by way of explanation, as they are related to the series, even if it's not in the same way that, say, the Kingdom Hearts games are. – Seancdaug 03:01, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: * Again no, we already have inclusions which are pushing some people's buttons - such distant titles like this just simply do not belong here, IMO. Deusfaux 12:35, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

text: I'm inclined to say that it doesn't belong, but at the very least, wait until the game is released before deciding to add it. If it's still in development, the Final Fantasy elements could be removed before the game is finalized. From looking at the article, it looks like Dragon Quest elements were originally in the game, but they have been taken out. --Cswrye 13:46, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

text: I think there's a stronger case for it than most of the other titles that have been bandied about, but it's still kind of borderline. I'm not averse to giving it the same sort of brief treatment that we give Ehrgeiz, but it may be more reasonable to just stick it in as a "see also" at the bottom of the article, if only to avoid the controversy. – – Sean Daugherty (talk) 15:31, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  I don't understand why people want to keep making this a "List of media that contains elements of the Final Fantasy brand".   It's called "List of Final Fantasy titles".  There are already some games that do not fit in regards to that article name, pretty much all under the "related games" subsection.  How many games could be "related" to FF?  Why not slap in old [Legend of Dragoon]? That game borrows from FF far more heavily than FF Legend, or Ehrgeiz. Deusfaux 21:23, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Because, quite simply, it has the potential to be relevant information, provided we present it in the proper context and don't try to advertise it as something it isn't. It illustrates the reach and importance of the franchise to Square Enix, and its recognition among the public, among other things. More to the point, those are the terms under which the article was created, and the terms under which it was elevated to featured status, so it's not being "made" into something that it wasn't already conceived as. – – Sean Daugherty (talk) 22:32, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Or, we could just remove all indirect spinnoffs, including the Chocobo series, so it only contains FF titles.  I mean, we have categories for this kind of thing anyway, so what's the point of redundancy?  (Well, it is to be funny, but that's about it, heh). Sir Crazyswordsman 01:42, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: We could, but I would strongly advise against it. On one hand, it's easy to imagine a situation where people would want to search for information about related titles. The list serves as a quick reference: it offers something between the context-less category listing, and the comprehensive article itself. There's no compelling reason to slice out that information just because we editors are being fannishly pedantic about what is and isn't a legitimate Final Fantasy title. And the second problem is that this is a featured list. It was built, edited, and developed to the point where it was deemed one of the better examples of the form on all of Wikipedia. This is a solution in search of a problem: we're not claiming anything about these games that isn't made abundantly clear by their position and presentation in the list. To this point, the major complaint has been that it might possibly be confusing to the uninitiated. These arguments have so far been entirely conjectural: "well, I'm not fooled, but what about others?" Honestly, this isn't rocket science, and I still think we're not giving our readers enough credit, and seeing problems where none exist. This isn't some neophyte article: it's a well-established page that has already been through a comprehensive review process. I really can't see the purpose of taking it apart and tinkering with it on the basis of a hypothetical argument with no solid grounding in fact. In my opinion, of course. – Sean Daugherty (talk) 03:44, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: I'm not sure you could really find a source for something like, here is the wikitionary entry for port "(computing) The act of adapting a program so that it works on a different platform from the one on which it originally worked."   Nontheless, there is a line between something constituting a port and a remake.  We could possibly find individual articles for each game where a major site like IGN calls it one or another but I think consensus would say that without significant overhaul.. USUALLY of the graphical engine, a port is not a remake.  To expunge further on my examples above... FF I and II Anniversary could be debateable... but surely the previous Wonderswan, PSX, and GBA versions are but ports - the most significant changes being minor graphical updates, and a rewritten dialog, and some other minor additions.  FF III and IV DS are clearly remakes as the game is remade from the ground up with completely new coding. Deusfaux 03:35, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Mmmh, I'm not really convinced personally... FFIII and IV DS are clearly not ports, but the "nature" of the other games is more fuzzy... Your interpretation of the difference between port and remake is just that, an interpretation. It's not officialized in dictionaries (their definitions of port and remake are probably too generic, FFI PSX could very well be both). I think the lack of reliable source, and the fact that many people do refer to FFI PSX etc. as ports, precisely show that the issue is not clearcut and that there's no set rule regarding the distinction between those two terms. Kariteh 15:09, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm inclined to say that the Wonderswan version of FF1 was more of a remake than a port due to the addition of an actual MP system and changes to the battle system.  The game felt and looked much more like the 16-bit games in the series. That's much more of representative of a remake than a port.  Any of the other versions based on the Wonderswan version (PS1 and GBA, basically) are ports of the remake, yet not ports of the original.  This is where everything gets quite fuzzy, seeing as how while a graphical update is probably not enough by hardcore games to count as a remake, it can be for others.  I'd guess going by the least strict denomination would avoid this sort of debate, while asking for more than just graphical updates can lead to even more debating.

It has grown to encompass not just Final Fantasy titles but also Final Fantasy TV series, mangas, novels, and radio dramas (most of these info being uncomplete and unsourced, but that's not my point today). I think the article should be renamed List of Final Fantasy media, like List of Kingdom Hearts media but without the soundtracks since they can remain at Final Fantasy music (given their large number).

thread_title:  Requested move 

message: Kingdom Hearts is a game with FF characters. Mario Hoops, Ehrgeiz and Bahamut Lagoon have elements and characters of FF... but they are not in the list. In addition, Bahamut Lagoon is more related to FF than Final Fantasy Legend for example. I don't understand it. EDIT: And Dragon Quest & Final Fantasy in Itadaki Street Special and Dragon Quest & Final Fantasy in Itadaki Street Portable?
:Kingdom Hearts appears because it features FF characters prominently. Mario Hoops, Itadaki Street and Ehrgeiz have FF characters but they're nothing more than glorified cameos with little significance to the game. Bahamut Lagoon is only similar in gameplay and so is practically every other RPG. As for FF Legend, regardless of its actually being in the SaGa series, it was released under the "Final Fantasy" label and thus belongs here, but SaGa games that aren't labeled FF don't appear.

thread_title:  Why Kingdom Hearts? 

message: This is really more of a reminder to myself but when we come back to put this up to FL status again, we should probably include a "Books" section and include the Ultimania books. Axem Titanium 15:13, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Heads up! I've created a new section heading "Companion Books" and started with a FFXII Battle Ultimania following the example of List of Kingdom Hearts media. I'm not sure if it's best to put the Ultimania listing here as there are lots of Ultimania for each titles, like for eg FFXII and FFVII. But I've started something and would try to add more if its good. — Blue。 18:33, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ultimania 

message: From the recent denomination discussion I've summarized the key points:
* Lead section doesn't tell what the article is about.
* ISBN needs sourcing.
An example of a related List which is Featured and can be used as a benchmark for this List is List of Kingdom Hearts media. Heads up to the related Wikiproject and editors who are interested in helping. — Blue。 08:17, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

I think the information about the clock, graphical/audio update, and special features, should be added to the notes section, and the page should be redirected to here.

thread_title: Merge in Final Fantasy Collection

message: Vagrant Story takes place in the same universe as FF Tactics and FF XII, set in the world of Ivalice.  It should be included on the list, it has direct ties to Final Fantasy titles and it was made by Square. --Xell Khaar (talk) 09:15, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Belonging to the same fictional universe is not the same thing as belonging to a video game series. "Final Fantasy" is a brand name, and this list is a list of works that have been published under that brand name. Most of them don't take place in the same fictional universe, but that doesn't matter because the definition of a Final Fantasy title doesn't take the universe into account. Conversely, Vagrant Story takes place in the same fictional universe as FFTactics, but it is not a Final Fantasy title. Think about the TV series Millennium which takes place in the same continuity as The X-Files but which isn't considered an X-Files media. Kariteh (talk) 09:29, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
