Talk:Star Ocean: The Second Story

message: Quote from Wiki Article: 
:And he has a fetish about barrels that is bordering on total obsession! (We're serious. Try talking to him when he's staring at barrels, chances are he'll ignore you in favor of the barrels.)
The POV is incorrect for a wiki, the text seems to have been copy/paste, the views are not wikified, and who is "we" anyway?

thread_title: Neutrality

message: I have tagged Star Ocean: The Second Story (manga) for merging to this article. Per the Anime and manga MoS, separate media versions should not have individual articles unless they are significantly different. As far as I can see, the manga (and its subsequent anime adaptation) use the same characters, plot, etc as the video game, just without actually being finished and having an ending. As such, there is no reason not to have the the two adaptations covered here, with appropriate links off to the anime episode list and manga chapter list, as available. Thoughts? -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 06:24, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The manga is pretty close to the game but the anime starts to vary wildly from the source material halfway through the series and introduces several characters, themes and subplots that don't exist in the game that become prominent from onward and into the Drama CDs. There are also some questionable changes to the plot (Expel isn't destroyed, from what I remember). I'm not sure if elaborating on the major differences would warrant keeping those separate, but they're certainly there if need be.--Claude (talk) 09:45, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd still say to the point it goes up to, it follows it close enough, except in reguards to adding new characters. In that case, I'd suggest because of the importance some of the new characters play, that the when a character list is done for the 2, there is a section for anime only characters. Beyond that, a set of drama CDs released in Japan were suppose to finish the anime's story.Jinnai (talk) 19:47, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

text: Many anime adaptations add new characters, modify themes, etc, but that isn't necessarily enough to warrant a new section. A brief differences section can usual take care of that unless its sharply/significantly different. -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 20:15, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually it is. Any GA or above article has a separate section for any anime adaptations if the anime is worthy of notability. Beyond a separate episode list though (which is something that should be if we merge this as a separate list. Information on when and how the anime was produced is relevant, how it differs from the game (as has been pointed out) and any anything related to it (such as those drama CDs I mentioned). Furthermore, even if the game and anime remain separate, a short piece on the anime and a link to the article are still appropriate.Jinnai (talk) 22:16, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

text: Still, a "List of Star Ocean media" article is essential, where all manga/anime/soundtracks related info from this article and other star ocean articles should be moved to. Punkalyptic (talk) 19:00, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

message: *Star Ocean: Second Evolution -> Star Ocean: The Second Story
As is, Star Ocean: Second Evolution does not warrant a standalone article, as it can easily be integrated into the primary article. Jonathan Hardin' (talk) 08:43, 3 May 2011 (UTC)
