message: is any way, shape or form is dean realted to tony from wild arms 2, as you know, there are no other characters that share the last names of the other games (TV/manga) series
::Huh, I just noticed that. Probably not considering none of the Wild Arms games officially take place in the same universe. Also, Jane and Virginia Maxwell share the same last name. The Norse 21:21, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

message: I've noticed that it's way past the 14th Dec '06. It is the reason I'm going to remove the future game template within the next several days. If anyone thinks otherwise, please let me know. Thx. Blackhawk charlie2003 14:22, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Passing the release date 

message: Who's idea was it to to write nothing about any of the characters other than how and when they die? I've been trying to remove this bullshit but some incompetent and deluded idiots keep warning me and reverting my edits. These spoilers are not needed or called for. Anyone who comes to this article seeking basic information on the characters will have the game essentially ruined for them before they even recieve it. - The Norse 21:40, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

message: What would be the point of putting Japanese voices in a game designed for people that only speak and read ENGLISH??? This seems to happen a lot in video games, probably because the developers are either too lazy, too pressed for time, or too cheap to pay singers. The least they could do is add subtitles to the songs!24.118.227.213 06:57, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: In Wild ARMs 3, there were three song versions. Japanese, English and none. Don't complain here, complain to XSEED. Also, Wild ARMs ACF (The DVD disc itself) has the voices still on it, just as bin files. --76.201.155.42 23:33, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Japanese voices?  How absurd! 

message: This article needs a plot summary badly; RPGs are distinguished from other games in that they have a story to follow- it's one of their main attractions. Could someone please post something? If not, I'll try to do it once I've played the game- which won't be for a while yet. -Wilfredo Martinez 04:56, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The two users were single purpouse accounts, I wouldn't take their opinions under consideration. You two need to keep an eye open for the WP:3RR, better stop edit warring before someone ends up blocked. - Caribbean~H.Q. 05:02, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

message: TTN, PLEASE stop vandalizing the article.  You're deleting huge sections of it that people worked really hard on, such as the character section.  These sections are a valid part of the article, and you're violating the rules by continuously removing them.  If you wish to discuss it, that's what this page is for.MagicalHopStep 18:00, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: All TTN did was improve the article. I think all established users agree on that. The Prince of Darkness 19:02, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Vandalism 

message: Keeping the current start class rating. Some pointers:
*The plot section mixes dramatic terms up. See Plot (narrative). Basically, the section titles plot and story should be switched.
*Reception – if there's only a compiled score, write nothing instead. This is easily expandable and I encourage you to do so. Look up any of the Final Fantasy featured articles for good examples.
*Without prior knowledge of the series, the gameplay section does not inform much. Perhaps applying WP:AMNESIA would be productive here.
*Why a whole subsection on exploration? What makes exploration such an important element of the gameplay?
*I wonder about European release dates and publishers. If it is not being published there, write that in the development section.
*External links in other languages than English, especially when an English alternative is available, is generally bad. The IGN page does not provide more information than the Wikipedia article, and should be removed per WP:EL because of that.
*<insert generic comment about more sources needed here>

text: No. The Wikipedia Project is about making a reliable, free encyclopedia, not providing you with well-written information. - The Norse 00:23, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Both, actually. The Prince of Darkness 00:28, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

text: This article, and the other Wild Arms articles that were recently "redone" are obviously the pinnacle of well-written. I mean, I came on this site with 20 questions about Wild Arms 3 and now I only have 19. Amazing. - The Norse 01:15, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

text: Sarcasm, my boy. It's a great way to criticize the stale logic and general incompetence of the admins without a bot leaving you nasty "be nice" message. Adding an additional comment to that previous post however, I find it hilarious that all of the information in the other Wild Arms articles was deleted because it was "copied from the game manual", but the thing is that the only info left now is basically the useless info that's on the back of the box. Way to make Wikipedia a more informative place, guys. - The Norse 22:30, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

text: I believe there's a Wikipolicy in the pile somewhere that says notability does not denote how much information something gets in comparison to something else on the same subject. - The Norse 23:01, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

text: Feel free to modify the article yourself. Maybe if it's good enough TTN won't purge it, not much chance of that though. - The Norse 22:30, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

text: According to Wikipedia Logic, they don't! - The Norse 20:53, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

text: Um, no one cares. Bokan 01:46, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

text: Wikipedia cares about the quality of its articles. In this case, having no quality denotes that it can't get any worse and the admins won't allow it to get any better so therefore it is good. - The Norse 14:37, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

text: That's all fine and dandy, peachy-keen, but real encyclopedias do have sections on people. Therefore I don't see why putting  the character section back up would be considered bad quality. Bokan 20:51, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm sure The Prince of Darkness who commented above can address your issues better than I can, after all I'm only being sarcastic. I think this article is pathetic now too. - The Norse 00:01, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Suggestion 

message: I got the game and artbook, and I was wondering if I was the only one who noticed that most of the artwork in it sucks or is smeared in quality by the fact it spans two pages and you can't open the book far enough to view it properly. Am I the only one who bought this thus the only one noticing?
Also on the Prima forums in the WA5 area, that guide sucks majorly, someone should read through there and maybe post something on it.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.207.42.15 (talk) 16:14, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Printing-wise, my art book is quite clean and crisp. The two-page spanning thing is true, though it doesn't matter much since almost all of the images in the book are easily found via Google. The Prima does indeed suck a lot though, it's short, not very comprehensive, some of the art is of poor quality, the suggested strategies are mediocre at best and there's no information at all on any of the optional bosses or dungeons. Perhaps it could use a passing mention in the article. - The Norse (talk) 01:56, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

message: Why does it say in the exploration section that there is no world map? It's in full 3d (unlike wild arms 4, FF tactics style map), but I believe that what's in this game would still be called a world map. It's NOT like in FFXII, which is just continuously linked areas (what "scaled world" is there in FFXII?). To me, the outside-of-towns/dungeons area of Wild Arms V is essentially like Wild Arms 3, FF7, tales of symphonia, etc. which as far as I know are universally accepted as games with "world maps".
