message: We need to add a section where each of the main characters of the story is briefly summarized. Ryulen1325  10:05:00, 21 February 2008.
Should be a seperate page. Would make more sense and neaten things up. Otherwise, we shouldn't even have a section for it and the character stuff could be contained in the plot summary. (86.25.126.59 (talk) 06:39, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

message: I removed this entire selection because this game contains English, Japanese, German, French, Italian and (I believe) Korean [Japanese version only] voice tracks. Cooke's voice doesn't sound near similar in the English and Japanese tracks, so it can be implied that there are different voice actors per language. Only the English ones were listed, and from information gathered from "various message boards". Last time I checked, blogs and forums (unless they are from and the posts are authored by the developer/publisher (i.e. Smash Bros Dojo for Brawl), they are not valid sources. That's why I deleted that whole section. Luigi6138 (talk) 21:54, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

message: We need to start adding citations and references to this article, while it is still small. The longer we wait the more work we will have to do. If everyone can find at least one reliable site, I'll look into it and pull the references. Anyone want to help me out? (Of course I am looking for site's as well, hopefully, I'll start adding references soon).

:Please don't indent your posts like that, to indent a reply (which is all you indent), put a colon (:) right before.  To the actual issue, I do agree with you, but the only things that you can source for a game are review articles, journals from the DEVELOPERS, statistic announcements, quotes from the game and the like. For this sort of game, look at Halo 3 as an example of what we should be looking towards. That is the gold standard for 360 game articles, and quite possibly all game articles.

message: Could other users please look over the 'Story' section and help with editing it? I just looked over disc one and fixed it grammatically, as well as correcting the time line of some events. I am hesitant to go on by myself though, as I am only at the end of disc 2 and don't want to ruin anything for myself. Shint (talk) 19:15, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Story

message: I just came to browse over the article out of interest, and flicking over the article I read that Seth bloody dies. There really should be spoiler tags and prehaps not having the characters final fates in their brief summaries. 82.19.66.183 (talk) 15:21, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Not our problem. Read Wikipedia:Content disclaimer. You should understand this. Note bullet-point 5: Wikipedia contains spoilers. Luigi6138 (talk) 23:38, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

text: Hmm... Let's think about this for a second: There are details about the plot in the plot section. It should be obvious to anyone reading that section that there are going to be spoilers (if they haven't yet finished the game). I'm pretty sure it's standard not to include spoiler tags for specifically marked plot sections in such articles. --V2Blast (talk) 06:58, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

text: Wikipedia phased those out a while ago. Now, everything is covered under the disclaimer I mentioned above, especially bullet 5: Wikipedia contains spoilers. Luigi6138 (talk) 23:08, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

text: Once again, spoiler tags were phased out. See Content disclaimer bullet point 5 again: Wikipedia contains spoilers. It is even declared that users should come with knowledge of this phrase earlier in the work (i.e. the hideously large letters at the top of that page). Luigi6138 (talk) 23:08, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

text: The thread is titled 'Spoilers', what the hell did you expect? Also, to clarify, I was reading the character bios, not the plot summary. At least it kinda makes sense to have spoilers there, but with bios you're really expecting to read 'Kaim- A man who lived a thousand years but has lost his memories.' And not much else. 82.19.66.183 (talk) 09:35, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I disagree. Look at Master Chief (Halo), a featured article. It even reveals his "Legendary only" fate from Halo 3. Luigi6138 (talk) 01:34, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Spoilers!

message: The Recpetion secion needs serious work.  For a game that has a metacritic score of 79/100, this secion is far too negative, giving the wrong impression of reality.
The negatives are loaded with weasel words to over-state the cited claims, and even repetitive.
The section should be rewritten.
Wageslave (talk) 18:37, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Seconded. As Metacritic itself states the reviews were generally favorable, the artical sould reflect this. I would do it myself but I am realy enjoying this game and therefore it would be a conflict of interests. --SelfQ (talk) 20:21, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

text: I also agree. But I don't have the time to do it. And the main plot summary just needs too much work. Luigi6138 (talk) 01:34, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

message: I keep seeing this person married to that person go in and out of this page. Can't we simply put in both character descriptions "Spouse of ..." to remedy this? Kresock (talk) 02:57, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

replies: text:  I did not delete your edit, another user did (check the article's history). I just thought it could be a better, all-satisfying solution. Kresock (talk) 01:02, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  See my comment directly above this thread: Is this info really necessary?  The plot and character descriptions are really a lot more than is necessary to understand the game, and the average reader doesn't need to know that Kaim is married to Sarah or what not.  It's crufty. — KieferSkunk (talk) — 02:49, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

message: "Downloadable content (DLC) for the game began release in Japan in January 2010: the content consisted of multiple additional chapters in "A Thousand Years of Dreams", powerful accessories, and an option to view cutscenes. The final DLC package included a late-game underwater dungeon."
This doesn't make any sense.  I purchased the DLC for Lost Odyssey in August of 2008 (not 2010 as above), and completed it at that time.  There was indeed an underwater dungeon, but I don't recall any additional dreams, accessories, or cutscene options.  Maybe the above was for a different game?  I know for a fact that the 2010 date is wrong, my achievements are timestamped.  (PS: there appears no way to "quote" existing text).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.109.236.1 (talk) 18:21, 9 January 2017 (UTC)
