thread_title: Congratulations!

message: This is only speculation I know, but am I the only one who thinks the island in the distence on the cover and the one on the promo things for Far Cry look similar? Again, this is only speculation, I just wanted to get that out. ELV
:Uh, no. --JiFish(Talk/Contrib) 10:24, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I have never seen any Far Cry but are you referring to the snowy mountains behind the beach or to the beach itself ? The beach itself is quite common on the region FFX took inspiration from See here for examples. Renmiri 22:01, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think he is referring to the beach. It's true that there are some similarities at first view, but then again, it's only a coincidence, I don't think there is a connection. A beach is just a beach. Check this image from far cry (LINK REMOVED.--DarkEvil 02:26, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Far Cry tie-in

message: I read it in the article, "Also as a result of the game's reception, the producer and scenario writer decided to establish a plot-related connection between Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy VII, another popular Final Fantasy title" but i haven't been able to find any more information, what is the connection?
:Read the related section in this FAQ. Ryu Kaze 23:02, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Ties to Final Fantasy VII?

message: I feel that the soundtrack section should probably remain seperate of the merchandise (in the audio section), since it primarily covers the development and description of the music, not just the soundtrack itself. — Deckiller 01:14, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: While it the game is noted for its audio, I didn't think it warranted it's own section. I'll go with the majority on this one. ~ Flooch 01:24, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Audio section

message: I removed the link to the top 20 games list, and reworded it as one of the best selling games of all time, because, as per that link, it isn't one of the top 20 anymore.  I'd guess it's about 22nd or 23rd now, but the list stopped at 20.  [] --PresN 17:32, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: You were right to change the wording in that it didn't make sure to note that it wasn't among that list any longer (as the reference in the opening does). Ryu Kaze 18:36, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Top 20 Games

message: There is an image of the back cover of a bootleg DVD included in the article which I removed, but has been restored. Rather than get into an edit war, here are the reasons for believing the DVD to be unofficial:
It is not listed in any official SquareEnix catalogue.
It is not listed on any legitimate retail website such as amazon.co.jp
The SquareEnix logo is missing. This would be legally required on any official release.
Other contractually required elements on the cover are also missing, e.g. a Dolby logo
The barcode is incorrectly formatted.
The audio options state that the DVD has Japanese audio with English and Chinese subtitles, which is implausible for a Japanese release.
The text mixes English, Chinese and Japanese wording.

replies: text: I'm pretty sure that there was an official DVD, and the owner of that particular copy believes that to be the one. Even with a degree reasonable doubt, I don't think it fit to remove the image without being sure that it's not the real thing. Thanks for the concern, though, and I'll see if I can find anything to help us determine if it's authentic. Ryu Kaze 19:56, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I've asked Renmiri to see if there's anything on the case to help us determine its authenticity. We'll have to wait to hear back from here. Even if it's a bootleg, we can possibly work it into the article as that's rather notable. Ryu Kaze 20:06, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

text: Unfortunately yes, as  this logo identifiade as a pirated DVD distributor is exactly the one on my DVDs as it can be seen clearly here :Image:Hypello.jpg. I stand corrected. We should indeed remove the DVD cover from the article. Renmiri 02:09, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
