Talk:Final Fantasy X/Archive 2

message: Do we need to put the entire voice cast there ? Not even IMDB puts the entire cast in the game's front page. I think more trivia and less names of secondary characters is better. Alternatively, we could move the "voices" to the "list of characters.

thread_title: Voice Cast

message: After the merger with the Pyreflies article, I've been thinking "Do we really need all these FFX pages?" I know FFX goes into a lot more detail about the world than most Final Fantasy games, to say nothing of how much more detail it goes into than most games in general. That said, despite all that's been done to improve it, Wikipedia looks like a Final Fantasy fansite. Cloud's page looks like a biography, Advent Children's looks like the reports that came out of Venice when the film was first screened there, just yesterday I had to merge Ultima Weapon with Weapons, and here we've got eight pages talking about Final Fantasy X alone; that's not including character pages:
*Final Fantasy X
*Spira
*Yevon
*Blitzball
*Al Bhed
*Sphere Grid
*Fayth
*Final Fantasy X: Original Soundtrack
I'm not excluding the other Final Fantasies from this either. Final Fantasy VIII and Final Fantasy IX are actually decently condensed, I believe, but Final Fantasy VII is another guilty offender. Until recently, the bloody Sister Ray even had its own article, Midgar should be merged with List of Final Fantasy VII Locations, and Materia should be merged with Mako.
I'm going to be making some proposals over on the Final Fantasy VII pages too, but here, I think the following ideas should be considered:
*(N)Blitzball should be merged with Spira if in any way possible; maybe at the very end.
*(Y)Al Bhed should be merged with Races of Final Fantasy (not a lot to say there to begin with, and plenty of overlap of material).
*(Y)Sphere Grid should be merged with Final Fantasy X (applies to only this game, and there's already overlap of material).
*()Fayth should be merged with Yevon (there's really not much to say about the Fayth without talking about Yevon in the first place). /--/ Newly Proposed: Fayth should be merged with Yevon, Sin, and Pyreflies.
*(N)Final Fantasy X Original Soundtrack should be merged with Final Fantasy X (how did it even get its own page to begin with?).
I'm for the Yevon page staying, and if there's a lot of objections to the Final Fantasy X Original Soundtrack page being merged out of individuality, so be it (can't see what there is to say about it that can't be said on the Final Fantasy X page, though); that would still take us from eight down to four.
I haven't even looked at the character pages that much, really, but I'm not going to worry about them for now. What's everyone's thoughts on this stuff? Ryu Kaze 08:45, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

But I couldn't resist adding it here <grin> The pic is so cool! Renmiri 05:11, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Heh. I was just writing a message about this, actually. I was actually wondering if this might be better suited for the blitzball article. Do you have any more information about the calendar in question? I ask both out of personal interest and for information for the article. I'd say we can probably do something with the image, but we probably need to carefully couch our fair use rationale. (Also, sorry for commenting the image itself here, but we're not supposed to use copyrighted image in the "Talk:" namespace) – Seancdaug 05:18, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Peer Review Changes

message: From http://ps2.ign.com/articles/442/442025p1.html
IGN: Why was Final Fantasy X the first Final Fantasy game to be given a true sequel?
Kitase: We included a short story/movie titled "Eternal Calm" in FFX International, which was released in Japan in January 2002. "Eternal Calm" showed life in Spira, after the ending of the original story in FFX. Fan reaction was larger than we expected and we decided to continue the story of Yuna and surrounding characters in a sequel.
At that time, our team was ready for a new challenge (for a new game, not a sequel) but we thought that creating a sequel to FFX would still be a challenge in a different way and so we made the decision to create a sequel.
Motomu Toriyama: FFX was a "complete" product that it made it very difficult for us to just say good-bye to it. Also, the characters were so appealing that many fans wanted to see more of them. However, what really triggered us to move forward with a sequel was the inclusion of the "Eternal Calm" in FFX International (only released in Japan); a short story that depicted the world of Spira two years after the ending of the original story. 
While this does somewhat support the current statements in the article about fan reaction to FFX as the reason for FFX-2, some mention of the impact of the "Eternal Calm" movie should probably be included. HaganeNoKokoro 16:36, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The Reception section actually already says that the game's intense popularity led to the sequel being made, and has a source for that claim. The thing about Eternal Calm is another way of saying the same thing, but I'm going to add it in as another reference since it's in English. Good find and thanks for showing us.

thread_title: Reason why Final Fantasy X-2 was made

message: I noticed the main cover art is now a bit fuzzy and off-color (especialy the sky above the island).  Looking back through the page's history, I saw that it was changed on 18:28, April 26, 2006.  Why exactly was it changed?  Can't we use a non-fuzzy image like this one, or just revert it back to the old image? Onlynameicanget 18:34, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: For why it was changed see Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Final Fantasy X. As for the fuzziness, this shouldn't matter too much; after all, it is a fair-use image. If it bothers you that much, maybe we can obtain another scan. (I would do this myself, but I like in the UK and thus have the PAL version.) --JiFish(Talk/Contrib) 19:40, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

text: You might have noticed by now, but the old one was put back some time ago, I was the one who scanned it and I corrected the problem discussed at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Final Fantasy X. Now there shouldn't be any problem.--DarkEvil 02:23, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Why did Sin attack 'Dream Zanarkand' in the first place?
How did Sin go there?
How did fayth like Gecht and Tidus transported from 'Dream Zanarkand' to the real Spira?
:Dream Zanarkand is out at sea. It's a real place just like Bevelle. Sin simply swam there. It attacked because that is its instinct and Jecht forced it to get close to the city. Ryu Kaze 13:41, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: SIN

message: Why is there no mention of the scene that takes place after the credits, of Tidus waking up under water, smiling, and swimming towards the surface?  Duke Starhopper 05:45, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Because it's not an essential part of the plotline, and would not fit well into a summary of the plot (because this is what this article is, a summary). If it were added, I imagine that it would be removed to conserve the already-bloated page size (as discussed in the current featured article candidacy. ~ Flooch 07:16, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
