Talk:World of Final Fantasy VIII

message: Moombas seem to have vanished at some point when Races of Final Fantasy was spliced between various articles and when these articles were edited. We should retrieve the text about them and put it here. Kariteh 17:52, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Moombas are mentioned in a couple sentences in the Shumi paragraph. — Deckiller 17:54, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: There should be more than that. Moombas appeared in Chocobo Racing for instance. Kariteh 18:11, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Feel free to elaborate on it, but I think you'll find little to work with, other than their appearance in Chocobo Racing. But I'd love for you to prove me wrong :D. --Teggles 07:40, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Where are the Moombas? 

message: The article is looking pretty good. Since the article is so new, I'd like to let it sit for a while to ensure stability. Here are some notes:
*The lead paragraph jumps around a little. It says FFVIII is set on a world with a moon, then switches to the financial success of the title, then goes to pre-rendered backgrounds.
*Check links—I found a link to a dab page. Just going to take your word, I don't want to check every link.
*The reception section is mostly concerned with graphics. It would be better if the main emphasis was on the design on the world itself. Quotes like "fantasy elements with a high-tech, sci-fi look, a world at once unique and instantly recognizable, familiar but full of surprises" from IGN.
*Check all images for article-specific fair use rationale. Some have rationale, but are not specific to the article.

replies: text: There are no longer any disambiguation links. I've also fixed the rationales. (by the way, you were wrong in saying "some" have rationale, but the problem has been taken care of) --Teggles 07:48, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Added a bit more on the design of the world in the reception section. Reorganized lead.  — Deckiller 11:01, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Looks better. I don't believe I was wrong about the rationale, I seem to remember that I checked some images and found rationale that was not article-specific. It's ok now, though. Pagrashtak 18:07, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Dollet is a Dukedom according to the FFVIII OST back cover. Shouldn't this be mentioned? Kariteh 09:39, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Dollet Dukedom 

message: I added a small note to the history section mentioning the possibility that FFIII and FFVIII may be connected. In both games a character appears named Hyne. In FFIII, which happens during a medieval setting, Hyne was a sorceror that terrorised the people and uprooted the Elder Tree. In FFVIII, in a futuristic setting, all the sorcoresses (don't think I spelled that right) are called Hyne's decendants and are are said to have received their power from him. Square has never confirmed or denied that the two are connected in some way, but considering how they have begun connecting games recently (FFX and FFVII, FFT and FFXII) and releasing sequals (FFX-2, FFTA, FFCC:TCB, FFCC:RoF, FFXII:RW, FFXIII, FFXIIVersus, FFXIIIAgito, etc.) there is a very big chance that this may be more than just a coincidence. Either way, I kept it factual and unbiased, presenting only the facts that the possibility does exsist.67.170.180.215 00:03, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  III and VIII Connection 

message: In the wikipedia article Best_selling_video_games it says:
# Final Fantasy VII (9.8 million, includes Final Fantasy VII International)
# Final Fantasy VIII (6 million)
Not very accurate if part 8 sold more than 7, as the article and elsewhere seems to have suggested.
The article reads Final Fantasy VIII was released to high sales and mostly positive reception; thirteen weeks after its release, Final Fantasy VIII had earned more than US$50 million in sales, But there is a link to an article  that says it sold The game broke industry pre-sell records with more than 2 million units on reserve before it was available on store shelves. Within the first four days of release, 2.5 million units were sold, and more than 3.3 million units were sold in Japan within the first month.  It didn't take it 13 weeks to earn 50 million dollars, it doing more than that from pre-orders alone.  Any idea how to get some accurate numbers?  Dream Focus 21:46, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  sales figures... most impressive sales ever?  Only 50 million dollars made? 

message: So, one editor, on the same day he decides its not GA anymore  eliminates the article, redirecting elsewhere.  There was NO merge discussion here, nor did anyone tag it for a merge.  I have undid this.  Discuss it here.  Dream Focus 15:23, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
