Talk:Final Fantasy V

message: The distinction between original research and inherent fact is sometimes very slight, but in the Gameplay section of this article, two consecutive sentences describing the most basic principles of the game's mechanics were slapped with a "fact" tag.  Why?  The sentences in question contain information so basic that one probably would never be able to find any other written text to cite.  That doesn't make it wrong.  It just means that it is obvious, and that anyone who has ever played the game would be in complete agreement.  I understand the crusade to keep Wikipedia plagiarism- and error-free, but this is an instance of bringing the book down a little too hard on a section whose contents are inherently true because of the nature of the game.  (For that matter, I think that the experience points and saving stuff would probably be better-suited in a general RPG article and not here, but if it's going to be here, I think it best to leave well enough alone.)67.246.112.242 (talk) 01:42, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Gameplay and the fact tag

message: There appears to be no outside universe information, reaction, design information, or anything like that. Since it appears that none is available, and exactly this sort of information is available on the Final Fantasy Wikia, I propose the Characters of Final Fantasy V be merged into this article to bolster it for Featured Article status.

replies: text: Faris is Yoshitaka Amano's favourite design with Terra Branford though, I don't remember the source but it's worth mentioning somewhere. Kariteh 21:43, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I disagree strongly. There is way too much information in the characters article for it all to be mereged comfortably into the main article. Besides which, FFV has generated a spinoff (a ridiculous, laughably bad spinoff, but it exists nonetheless). 69.37.32.196 03:45, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Geez, wonder who this could be...this article is a ton of trivia and in-universe information that belongs at the Final Fantasy wiki. If it does deserve its own article, it will need "out of universe" reactions, and information on the creation of these characters, which, if it doesn't exist, means it doesn't deserve its own article .

thread_title: Proposing merger of Character page

message: I removed a quip about Reina being a mistranslation of Lenna, and X-Death of Exdeath. Despite the fact that later rereleases changed to the latter spelling, neither are wrong on their face. Reina and Lenna would be pronounced near identically in Japanese, Exdeath is a simple spelling choice. Exdeath is appearently supposed to be Exodus anyway (according to Tactics Advance and XII, anyway). So they're not mistranslations, they're just different.Xenon Zaleo 08:06, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Exodus is indeed clearly intended to be a reference to Exdeath, but I'm pretty sure their names are not spelt the same way in Japanese. Kinda like Famfrit the Darkening Cloud is a reference to the FFIII Dark Cloud even though they don't have the same name and exact same title. Kariteh 08:22, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think Famfrit is sorta different in its description that makes it obvious that it's supposed be a bit different from the Dark Cloud, they call it a container of sorts. Exdeath and Exodus are a little different in that the two could be spelled the same in Japanese. I'm not saying it should be changed mind you, it was just a point to illustrate that Translation is an art, not a science, and the aformentioned "errors" aren't really errors at all. It's questionable whether "The N-Zone" should be referenced in this way either, as that seems to be a conscious change akin to the "Butz" to "Bartz" thing. Xenon Zaleo 15:27, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Exdeath and Exodus are not spelt the same way in the Japanese games (whereas "Butz" and Bartz are), that was my only point. Kariteh 17:10, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

*Again, shouldn't there be links in the plot story section?
*Per Wikipedia:Context and Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates), months and days of the week generally should not be linked. Years, decades, and centuries can be linked if they provide context for the article.[?]
*Per Wikipedia:Context and Wikipedia:Build the web, years with full dates should be linked; for example, link January 15, 2006.[?]
*As per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates), dates shouldn't use th; for example, instead of using January 30th was a great day, use January 30 was a great day.[?]
You may wish to browse through User:AndyZ/Suggestions for further ideas. Thanks, DrKiernan 14:52, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I certainly hope so. These problems in the suggestions can easily be solved, but some of the objectives will take a bit more time because of the digging involved. Most of those were posted around this time last year, and nothing's happened since then. ~ Hibana 17:44, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Not sure if I agree with the "links in the plot story section" suggestion; it would encourage overlinking. The rest looks good as manual of style reminders. — Deckiller 20:35, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

message: Noticed my (somewhat minor) corrections to the Story section have been reverted. Why? The information was innacurate; I know this game quite literally like the back of my hand. Played it through dozens of times. Check your facts.
This because I used a College IP?
:Probably because we need to keep such details to a minimum and avoid any redundancies, not because of our college IP. — Blue。 13:23, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Kind of. I noticed a citation needed tag, and after searching the article, I found 17 citation needed tags. That's way too many for a GA, and it should've been picked up immediately. - A Link to the Past (talk) 03:50, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Well there had been an issue of unreliable sources used in the article, so I cut out all the unreliable ones, cut some text, sourced stuff, and then labelled everything that needed to be sourced. I think took a break for a while, so I guess I'll get back on that now :) I'm still trying to go for FA with this article. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 14:55, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

message: It strikes me as odd that the article uses our translation for an article describing the original game.  Shouldn't those screenshots show the Japanese version, since our version isn't official?  Note that the one screenshot that has a caption mentioning that FF5 was one of the earliest fan translations is fine to leave as our version, since that's describing the fan translation.
