message: In reculation to the Final Fantasy Tactics Advance character list I have found a mistake. After you beat the game you can get Ritz as a secerat character in your clan, you can also get Shara and Cid.

message: Does anybody know anything more about the Grand Grimoire?  I know Remedi is the embodiment of it, and that the Entity within the Book is what changed St. Ivalice into Ivalice, but on the box is said something about being on Noah's Arc or something like that.
:I dont think it said that. But I could be wrong.Qwerasdfzxcvvcxz
::That's pretty observant. The story goes that long before Noah built his Ark, there is this ancient land called Kiltia where swords and sorcery exist. The Gran Grimoire, which originated from this land, was swept away by the Great Flood, and many tried to find surviving copies, believing that its power could change the world. That's taken from the instruction booklet. Bluerfn 18:20, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Would it be proper to add a section on the article's page brining up connections between Final Fantasy Tactics and Tactics Advance?

message: The summary mentions a child named Doned. I can't remember anyone with that name in the game, could this be the work of a vandal, or is my memory cloudy?
:Doned is Marche's brother, the sick one who appeared at the beginning; he also tries to stop you from destroying the crystals because he likes the fantasy world of Ivalice more than the real Ivalice.Also he has a clan called Doned Faction that i think comes from Ambervale. -- VederJuda 19:53, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

message: The section seems way too big... I think it should be split into a separate article (a la List of Final Fantasy VIII characters or any of the other FF character pages. Also, there should probably be some sort of template for FFTA characters since Marche and Ritz have their own articles, but it's not connected to the other FFTA people.

message: I'm putting this here as I'm getting tired of this issue. As you may have noticed, there seems to be a minor edit war going about the setting of the game. The two positions are:
# The game takes place in an Arabian setting
# That the above position is original research and/or POV and should not be included.
Now, the setting to me seems to lean towards Arabian or similar themes as the buildings and clothing seem to have that general style, however I'm not sure if that is worth mentioning. I would, however, like a concensus to be reached soon, so let's try to discuss this instead of just reverting. --Niroht 19:49, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not worth mentioning because of its redundancy. I could just come up to the Final Fantasy Tactics article and say, "Oh look, the setting is medieval england because of the moats and castles and drawbridges." It's setting does look Arabian, but that's too evident and any reader won't need to go to Wikipedia just to know that. They could just see the screenshots or play the actual game. If the writer still insists then it should be placed at a more appropriate paragraph. Remember, Wikipedia is not a place for POV or original research. Bluerfn 20:23, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

message: While this game uses the translation "Exodus" The recent remake of Final Fantasy V for the gameboy advance uses "Exdeath", While the newest versions of the game are usually the ones that are considered canonical, would the translation of exodus be considered incorrect in this case? Tensa Zangetsu 00:31, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The translation is correct as it was the game developers decision to name the Totema summon Exodus instead of Exdeath. Exdeath has always been the transliterated name of the FFV villain. The japanese spelling for both names have differed somewhat, but let's stick with the English version. 私はBluerfnです 07:33, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  GA? 

message: This article is going to need extensive work to reach GA status.
* Lead section: a bit too long, and too loose with several mini-paragraphs. Needs to be consolidated into three paragraphs per the rest of our FA and GA leads.
* Gameplay section: Two to three times as long as it should be; bloated with excess. Needs to be sourced, as well.
* Plot and setting: Races need to be merged with setting, and characters need to be placed before the plot summary. Sources needed.
* Sequel and development: Sections need to be consolidated, and the development section needs major expansion.
* Reception section: needs a chart and the usual 3-4 paragraph treatment. Needs major expansion.
* Entire body of prose needs a lot of work, but that will come as the article is reformed.
* Images need fair use rationale.
Lots of work is needed, but it's not too bad. — Deckiller 22:10, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Oppose Several other FFTA soundtracks exist apart from the OST. There's the arranged album White Melodies, the single White Flower, and four volumes of radio drama albums. A move to a "Music of Final Fantasy Tactics Advance" article would be much better than a merge in this main article in my opinion. Kariteh 16:26, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That may be a good idea, I was not aware that there were any other music articles, perhaps a Tactics Advance music article would be better.  I support that motion. Judgesurreal777 03:47, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

text: I only want to give a comment. While even minor characters of visual novel articles (I believe it goes under the category of fiction) like Shuffle! get their own article, why do we have to merge a list of characters which is not a stub? In my opinion, the list of character deserves an article. But the final decision is you people's. Kristalyamaki 18:07, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I doubt any of them are Good Articles though, since there is probably no out of universe information, which is why this article is up for merger. Judgesurreal777 01:31, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Kristalyamaki, don't forget that Wikipedia is written by voluntary and unpaid people. As such, one person or one group of persons can't change everything in the encyclopedia and make everything perfect. The Final Fantasy Wikiproject focuses on articles dealing with Final Fantasy. Most members of this wikiproject probably agree that minor characters of Shuffle! shouldn't have their own articles, but the fact that these Shuffle! articles exist has absolutely no relevance to Final Fantasy articles on Wikipedia. If you want to propose the merger of the Shuffle characters articles, feel free to do so, but even if you don't, that has nothing to do with the articles of the FFTA characters.

message: The article states: ""Final Fantasy Tactics Advance" was not given the Ivalice Alliance logo because of contradicting game elements, such as the fact that Ivalice was a dream world in "Final Fantasy Tactics Advance", while a real world in Final Fantasy Tactics A2".
This is somewhat wrong as the FFTA was released 3 years before the Ivalice Alliance franchise  started and thus could not have been part of it whenever the creators would have intended it to or not. Should this part be rewritten or removed entirely? --Painocus (talk) 00:16, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
