Talk:Giygas

message: The game designer, Shigesato Itoi, has said in an interview that the battle with Giygas in Mother 2/EarthBound is the result of a traumatic experience he had as a child after accidently walking into a theater playing a violent rape film. This should DEFINATELY be included in a section of this article as well of mention of Giygas in the original Mother game. Buzda 12:39, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

This is clearly a non-NPOV statement, and one I don't even agree with. It shouldn't be here. Please don't edit it back in. Spamguy 02:59, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: While it is POV statement (non-NPOV is a bit redundant, no?), I'd say there's truth to it. After all, he automatically heals himself unless Paula uses Pray. - A Link to the Past (talk) 03:14, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Most Powerful Villains 

message: "In this form, Giygas can only be destroyed by using Paula's previously useless Pray command several times...". The "pray" command was never useless. It did all kinds of random things, helpful as well as harmful, which made it unreliable. Though some players might consider it useless because of its unreliability, this is a POV. Therefore I am removing it. 63.135.2.27 23:49, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Not useless 

message: Some of this stuff needs to be tidied up and written in a different tone. An article should not read like a story or a game walkthrough. A few examples of quotes which are leaning towards too much of an in-universe style are the following:
"It's a happy ending."
"However, foreboding news arrives; his father calls, telling him that something has come up..."
"Once Pokey has had enough, he reveals Giygas's true form by turning off the Devil's Machine, and explains it was a device used to contain Giygas's incredible evil power."

thread_title:  "Giyig Key"? 

message: The trivia section is slowly growing, which is not a good thing. Moreover the second and the third items seem to come from the editors' minds only. No original research please!! --朝彦 (Asahiko) 21:37, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Original research? 

message: "He went under the name of Giegue in the cancelled English localisation.[citation needed]"
The English localization was indeed cancelled, documented extensively on lostlevels.org (http://lostlevels.org/200407/200407-earthbound.shtml), and in said English localization, he is known as Giegue. Is this sufficient citation to get rid of an annoying tag? --96.250.214.249 (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 07:45, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Citation needed on Giegue? 

message: I went through the sources on this article and I'm not finding anything that suggests notability outside the games. For instance, almost all coverage pertains to the memorable final boss battle of EarthBound, which is already adequately covered in that article. Anything that needs to be known about his longevity between the first two games of the series (and its subsequent meaning, which is to say the Oxfords' 1UP source) is in the series article. What remains is rankings in a bunch of listicles that don't add anything other than that people remember the battle. Thoughts on a redirect to Mother (video game series)#Recurring elements? czar ♔ 17:50, 16 November 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not sure a full-out redirect would be good, but I might get behind a merger. Most of the sources are approved on WP:VG/RS, and with the sheer volume of them, there's definitely something there. I unfortunately lack the time right now to do a full analysis of them to see what there is outside of that battle that might make it worthy or not of its own article, but I should be able to come back by Saturday and look into it.

replies: text: Yea, merging would probably be best. As iconic as he is, there just doesn't seem to be a lot in the way of RS's out there past what we've got in the article here (plus all the 1UP and UGO links are dead, which certainly doesn't help any). Most of the stuff here is already covered in the article, but there's a few tidbits (like the warning from Buzz Buzz) that could be in EarthBound.

thread_title:  Potential merge 

message: Hi User:Namcokid47, Abryn unfortunately will be unactive and can't ask her help. I've seen you reviewing Giygas into GA and might be familiar with game itself, can you help out the Ness (character) article?. 58.142.207.215 (talk) 04:25, 14 December 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Probably not. I have very little knowledge or interest in Mother/Earthbound and I only reviewed this to help clear out the massive backlog of GANs from a while back (in fact, I might have to look at this one again as I feel rather lukewarm towards its quality).
