Talk:Sword of Mana

message: It has been found that Shin'yaku Seiken Densetsu fits in better with Seiken Densetsu 2 than  the original Seiken Densetsu.  Thus Shin'yaku Seiken Densetsu is the canonical representation of the events of the original Seiken Densetsu.  The original Seiken Densetsu is really an offshot of the Final Fantasy series (my favorite video game series), and Seiken Densetsu 2 is what laid the foundation for the elements of the Seiken Densetsu series as its own line.  The plotline of Seiken Densetsu 2 is not directly connected to the plotline of the original Seiken Densetsu. Decimus Tedius Regio Zanarukando 09:53, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Is ''Sword of Mana'' the canonical representation?

message: The story section needs cropping. We do not need to know exactly what everyone says, especially in a list form the way it is. I'll do some of it, so please don't revert it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Niroht (talk • contribs) 
:Mmkay, I've trimmed the hero's prologue right good. The rest is a beast,though. I'll get to it later. --Niroht 00:05, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Story Section 

message: Is it just me, or is this article becoming more and more like a GameFAQ's summary? Do we really need a blow by blow by blow by blow description of each weapon, for example? While I would go and make it more encyclopædic, unfortunately I don't have the level of experience with this game that I have for Secret of Mana or Seiken Densetsu 3 (having only merely played it for maybe an hour), and thus I don't think I could bring it up to their quality. Surely, someone has played this game deeply enough to be expert enough to do so. -LichYoshi 10:26, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I tried to cut it back a little, but it's tough to judge. I doubt the weapons section is necessary at all, though, so I'm thinking that'll go. I've played this one up to the endgame, so I could work on the story a bit too. --Niroht 01:23, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Article quality 

message: As mentioned in The talk page of the original Final Fantasy Adventure, nowhere in the Japanese documentation or game are the names "Sumo" or "Fuji" mentioned at all. The main characters at least in the Japanese versions never had a default name, be it the original Game Boy version, or the GBA remake, or the mobile phone port. Where did these ridiculous names come from? (It's NOT from the Japanese manual, that's for sure.) Needle1 07:17, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I've changed it to say that names are chosen by the players, which seems better to me. I didn't even mention the Japanese in this version, seeing as how this article is in English I'm assuming readers will be looking for information about the American or British version (though I don't know if there is a British version, whatever. You know what I mean). --Niroht 17:41, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

text: The whole "official" naming bit was a sort of de facto thing borrowed from the U.S. release manual, (of the GameBoy classic version) where the names "Sumo" and "Fuji" were used in some of the screenshots, so some players figured it was the closest thing to an official naming convention. The characters also had the names "Matt" and "Rose" in the manga adaptation, but none of that is canonical. So, yeah -- there are no official names for the characters. 74.242.121.102 (talk) 20:19, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
