thread_title:  Future game? 

message: I've been rewriting the Story and the Characters sections, mostly because the story section was more of an intro, and really poorly done, and the characters section was massive, and you essentially get the story from the characters section instead of the story section, etc. Anyways looking at a lot of other game articles, many of them, especially those for RPGs, have separate articles for characters. Considering how many characters there are in Yggdra Union, as well as how involved the characters are in the story, should the YU characters be split off into another article?

replies: text: I feel like the characters section is way too long in the first place. Not every character needs a section so if you can compress it into prose (try grouping the characters in terms of origin or relation), it'll go a long way to making the article better. I would really suggest against splitting off the article prematurely. Axem Titanium 22:21, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think you ignored what I said; I had rewritten the characters section, shortening it and only including the more important characters, but with my other edits the article still ended up at 36KB. Also, not every character has a section, only those with story relevance. Hell, not even all those with story relevance; Marietta, Canaan and Monica were all left out. Al really could have had his own section, too, if we were to include every character. But, if I were to include every character, I'd have to throw in Ordeene, Vanessa, Brongaa (technically story related), Dr. Murdock, etc. I don't intend to include every character if there ends up a character's article, but, well, hell FF7 has an article for the characters, and even articles for the individual characters (something grossly unnecessary).

replies: text: Actually, the FF Wikiproject is trying to merge the individual character articles to the main characters page (something I'm very proud of, see discussion here). Anyway, I urge you to look at Characters of Final Fantasy VIII, a characters FA, for suggestions about going about this split, should you choose to do it. Anyway, the 32kb limit is actually quite archaic now (see Wikipedia:Article size) so 36kb is hardly too large. I don't forsee needing to split the characters just yet, unless you feel like you can make a very strong article out of it. Axem Titanium 20:54, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Separate Characters Article 

message: Okay, I need advice on what to do with the character and story sections. Story seems way too long, and I feel like Character is way to short but will be way too long when/if I/someone add/s other major characters and more information for the characters already described.  Also, references for the Twin Valkyries' names are still needed, plus (maybe) the other uncited story claims.
I also wonder if citing JaJa's blog a different time for every entry is really productive, or if the blog itself is all that should be cited. I've kind of been considering merging the Development and Localization sections, any comments on that? 
I think this article is actually nearing "completion", or, rather, decency. DrSturm 06:52, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Isn't the story section section a bit overgrown ? This part of the article doesn't have to cover the whole story of the game from 'a' to 'z' by revealing all major plot advances, as it is just a one huge spoiler for anyone who hasn't finished the game yet. A small intro or a short summary to the game would be more sufficient and appropriate, as the current build of the story section is rather unpleasant for the eye and overflowing with unnecessary information.--Maikito 22:35, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, please pay attention to change dates and other crap, and note that I have been working on shortening the story section. DrSturm 21:46, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:YUPACPCover.jpg

message: A few questions regarding the remake.
First, for categories, should we have all the years it was released (eg, 2006 video games AND 2008 video games)? I assume a yes, but I still want to know for sure. Second, what about cover art? Should we use the original (in which case we're technically not, but moot point), or should we use the most recent incarnation (in this case the one for the PSP version)? Third, how do we handle the game play changes? They've been minor, but should we point out each when describing them, or have a little paragraph at the end delineating the differences and leave it as it is (or updated it for the PSP version), or what? DrSturm (talk) 17:47, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, I believe only the initial release year is given in the categories, but the usage is inconsistent. Cover art should prefer the original English language box. The PSP cover can be placed in a section devoted to the PSP rerelease that would also detail the changes to whatever is being changed. Axem Titanium (talk) 04:56, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
