Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Final Fantasy/Archive/18

message: Right now it only covers Final Fantasy I, so the title is misleading and is causing much confusion: I (and another editor trying to fix this project index page) thought that FF I lacked lists of locations and list of characters. The list of locations also went for AfD because it has nothing the other FF II-XII list of locations don't have, which obviously wasn't true since no other page covers FF I locations.
:Moving all to List of Final Fantasy I characters, List of Final Fantasy I locations to keep it within the naming convention we used for all the other games. I'm tempted to do the same with Final Fantasy (video game) which only covers FF I and yet misleads readers and searchers to think it covers the entire series. Any thoughts ?

replies: text: I disagree.  We don't say "Super Mario Bros 1" or "Donkey Kong Country 1," now do we?  But that's just me.  On my Wiki, anyt category related to FFI is named "Final Fantasy X," where X stands for whatever is inclded in the category (NOT the number ten). Sir Crazyswordsman 21:56, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I left a note about this over at Talk:List of Final Fantasy I characters before I caught this here. In summary, I agree with CSM. We had this discussion way back when the project was just getting started, and the conclusion then was that the title of the game is unambiguously Final Fantasy, not Final Fantasy I, and that we should reflect that terminology: the article was moved from Final Fantasy I to Final Fantasy (video game), as was done with a bunch of other games in several different series. The AfD problem arose when these articles really were little more than aggregates of information available in other, game-specific lists. If a large section of the List of Final Fantasy characters page hadn't been devoted to the characters of Final Fantasy VII, I don't think it would have gone to AfD to begin with. Particularly now that the lists have been retooled so that they are Final Fantasy (I) specific, I don't see any problem with the original titles, and I'm more concerned about giving a veneer of authenticity to a wholly unofficial title. – Sean Daugherty (talk) 01:48, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Fair enough. Can we just have a redirect then ? I kept on looking for FF I list of charcters and locations and thought it was missing. And the list went for AfD because "it was cvered on other gae pages". a redirect will keep your view and help distracted editors like me and the guy who created the AfD Renmiri 03:02, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Was anyone else aware that Final Fantasy VI, Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy X have all been selected for inclusion in this thing? Apparently they haven't gotten to examining Final Fantasy VIII or Final Fantasy X-2 yet, but that's still three out of five that have been reviewed and selected. That's pretty damn good. I wonder if we'll have a chance of actually getting one of them in Wikipedia:Version 1.0. I guess Final Fantasy VII would have the best chance. Ryu Kaze 13:06, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I will be offended if 8 isn't selected, especially since I feel it's the best of the bunch :) — Deckiller 15:50, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'll be disappointed too. I felt like that was one of our best efforts. Ryu Kaze 20:24, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: 6 is selected and that's all I care about, since it's my favorite. Sir Crazyswordsman 01:13, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, they put Chrono Trigger in there as well. Sir Crazyswordsman 03:04, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, I just saw that. Final Fantasy VIII and Final Fantasy X-2 are on there as well. Makes one feel proud, doesn't it? Ryu Kaze 13:50, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Looking at the various Final Fantasy album articles I notice a lot of them have a section such as this. Does all this information really belong here? - Fx21 16:02, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It seems a little weird to me.  Mentioning that there are pirated copies, okay.  But detailed information on which companies make them?  If it's not veiled advertising it's still too much information, IMHO. -RaCha'ar 16:07, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. Besides, google and ebay are there for the bargain hunters! Renmiri 00:54, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Right. Maybe we should remove it then. Are there any sources that say each particular album is often pirated, or is it a general FF album statement? Maybe this was a waste of time, I guess there are more important things to do... - Fx21 18:02, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It's just a generally known fact, I think. Any sections like that should be removed in my opinion, so I don't think bringing this up was a waste of time. It looked like an attempt at advertising the pirated copies to me. Ryu Kaze 01:31, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Ok, I'll start removing them shortly. - Fx21 11:39, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I finally finished this and moved it out of my Sandbox.  I'll be adding the mergeto templates to all the existing articles but I'm pretty sure they can be discarded pretty easily now.  I'll leave the templates up for a week and then kill 'em to make redirects.  Check out the article and tell me what you think.  :) -RaCha'ar 05:52, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Someone went through the pain of putting one for every character in List of Final Fantasy X characters ! A pity because it makes the page very hard to read. I suggest we at least merge the info or put it on the character's pictures, which are coded as a non-intrusive link. Discuss it here Renmiri 23:21, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: That kind of trivia regarding characters should remain on the character articles themselves.  The list should just give a generic overview of what kind of character there should be. Sir Crazyswordsman 04:24, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: English Cast / Japanese Cast boxes

message: I finished rewriting the story section and am now going through the script and adding references.  I could use some help with this (I'm using the SNES script, so you guys should use that for consistancy), and I could use some help from our prosers to rework that.  User:Zeality, who I helped with Chrono Trigger, is going to lend a hand as well, so we should be in good shape to get this to FA by the end of the month. 
We could also use as much help as we can get in the other sections. Sir Crazyswordsman 21:45, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I added all the references I'm going to add.  I need someone to revies the prose and add other references to other sections.  We're up to 67 references now.  I REALLY could use some help here, as I want this thing on the front page in late November.  I can't express the urgency of this matter enough. Sir Crazyswordsman 00:41, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: If any of you have anything that can be added and/or cited about the game's development, reception, and criticism (the latter is quiet lacking in the case of FFIV, which probably has the least criticism of any FF title), add it to the FFIV article.  I'm doing what I can, but I need some help. Sir Crazyswordsman 20:26, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

message: As a firm believer on properly counted voting, a thing that eludes us in US, *ahem... never mind ... I digress ;-) Anyhow, I voted on the Wikimedia Board election I recommend you guys at least read the candidate statements. It is cool and interesting to see that 19 year old Wiki editors are competing side by side with 40+ year old Wiki notables, and to read their plns or ideas for a better Wikipedia. Besides, some candidates are clearly better than others (you can vote on more than one). Hopefully you guys will find someone you like well enough to vote! Renmiri 13:02, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
