Talk:Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow

message: Maybe somebody mroe knowledgeable than me will write a section on how AoS discards many traditions of past Castlevanias, amongst them being playing as a Belmont, touch of death, or fighting a Giant Bat.
It is the only castlevania with a pistol,rifle or any type of "futuristic" weapon-Paul
:...until the sequel, Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow, that is. And the weapons aren't "futuristic" per se, since the games take place in the mid-21st century. --DocSigma 12:08, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Deviations from normal Castelvania 

message: Hello there, everyone. I created List of characters in Castlevania: Sorrow series in an attempt to clean up much of the bloated content found in the various character articles involved with these future-timeline games. This page is meant to cover all the characters in the two games in a format that the casual reader would like. The reason I'm doing this is because I notice articles like Hammer (Castlevania) gives more coverage to a minor character than Richter Belmont in the main castlevania character list, and that didn't seem quite right because I'm pretty sure Richter is one of the more famous characters from the whole Castlevnia series. If I have everyone's permission, I would turn the pages on Mina Hakuba, Julius Belmont, Yoko Belnades, and Hammer into redirects to this character page and leave Soma Cruz and Alucard in their own articles (because those two are very notable in their connections to Dracula). Any comments about this page? I'd like to hear them. Thanks. Erik Jensen (I appreciate talk!) 19:02, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Character list article 

message: There is a small bonus when you start a game of Dawn of Sorrow with the Aria of Sorrow cartridge inserted in the DS's GBA slot. Does it work if you use the Double Pack cartridge, too? --Someone Else's Problem 14:49, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Double Pack 

message: It mentions a door that can't be opened on the top floor. I've beaten this game twice as Soma (once on hard, once on normal), once as Julias and just recently started a new Soma game on hard, and  I don't remember this (Is it the Knight statue that raises its lance?). Anyone care to share? --MKnight9989 13:14, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

There's a serious detriment to this article that requires fixing before I would even CONSIDER passing this article:
#Reference #54 does not work for me.
I'll put the article on hold for a period of up to seven days. If you manage to address all the above concerns in seven days, I guess I'll have to pass it. I guess.
Seriously though, amazing job! Once the reference has been fixed, it's definitely a Good Article and beyond! Cheers, CP 23:13, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  GA Review 

message: After seeing the 'Let's Play' video for the first level, I was under the impression that the hero is forced to leave Mina, wounded, on the pathway to the front door of Dracula's castle. I realize an online video is not much in the way of reliability, but if I am right, I think it's an important plot point briefly mention in the plot section.

thread_title: TFA nomination

message: This article lacks sources about the characters themselves—it's dependent on reviews of the game and primary sources. Nothing wrong with that, but it doesn't give an indication that these characters need to be treated as a separate entity from the individual games. The game article is already an FA so I'm not sure how much more it needs, but any secondarily sourced fact worth including in the main article should be. My, things have changed since 2008. czar 23:38, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
replies: text:  Did you see the FA discussion? Our 2008 standards were nowhere near our current standards. czar 17:06, 9 October 2016 (UTC)
replies: text:  That same criteria existed back then (though in practice probably not enforced to the level it is now). In any case, if you want to pursue the argument that the articles should be merged because either of them does not meet FA any more, we first need to establish if this is the case (in FA review) I think a merger prior to a review is premature. It's also worth to note that after the review we might be in a situation where one of the articles meets 2.b. and the other does not, in which case a merger would still upset the balance of the FA article. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 17:34, 9 October 2016 (UTC)
replies: text:  We've redirected featured articles/lists before. The question is whether you contest that this article does not the notability criteria. Otherwise it's a lot more work for nothing. It would be out of order to merge in content to sway the balance of the game's article, so I doubt there would be much that needs to be merged in the first place czar 04:12, 15 October 2016 (UTC)
