Talk:List of Final Fantasy characters

message: Is there any reason why non-boss monsters are listed for Final Fantasy VIII?  I don't think they provide much benefit, and it doesn't make sense to list them for one game and not the others (which I certainly would not want to do.)  How about deleting the non-bosses from the list, renaming it "Other Monsters" like the other sections, and putting the Final Fantasy Bestiary in the See Also section at the top of the entire page?

thread_title: Monster names in FFVIII

message: Many of the names (especially in the FF V and VI sections) were placed with the Japanese version as the main and the American version in the secondary position.  Keeping in mind that this is the English version of the article, I thought it best to flip them around to their current locations.  However, for Final Fantasy I, II, VIII, IX, X, and X-2, I'm not sure if there are any discrepancies or if there are which one is listed first.  If anyone knows and can fix the rest of it if need be, that'd be great.  --TheGrza 22:24, Sep 20, 2004 (UTC)
:I also think that we should stick to either the english or the japanese  names for the character links (see FFVI and FFVII). The current setup is very confusing. --analoguedragon 13:12, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: English/Japanese Name Order

message: Is it really necessary to have the names from the unofficial fan translations? They aren't officially related to the game. Also, with the "Japanese" names, wouldn't it be better to write the romaji equivilant of the real Japanese name? --TheEmulatorGuy 02:29, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Fan translations, Japanese names

message: I'm sure some of you will disagree with the deletion request, but I'd ask if you discuss it here first before removing. I don't know of any reason to keep the article, and it seems the same decision was decided with Final Fantasy locations. --TheEmulatorGuy 05:33, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The only problem I see is that there are a few (notably Final Fantasy I and FF Tactics Advance) that don't have a main article for their character lists. 142.167.154.187 13:55, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

text: I do agree that this list seems sort of pointless but I don't know anywhere else where you could put the Template: Final Fantasy characters that would make sense. About above, it shouldn't be too hard to create character list pages for the few games that don't have them yet. Axem Titanium 15:59, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: That template is the first thing I thought of when nominating the article. We would simply follow the format of Final Fantasy locations (eg. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Final_Fantasy_VIII_locations) and, like the locations, provide a link to the category (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Final_Fantasy_characters) from the main Final Fantasy template. --TheEmulatorGuy 19:18, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Sounds good. Is in possible to redirect this page to a Category page? Axem Titanium 20:18, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It may be possible, but I suspect it's frowned upon. Category listings generally don't have much contextual information, and I think it might be a little confusing to simply dump users there. This has been talked about before: I think the original plan was to retool this article as a list of characters from Final Fantasy (the original NES game), once we'd moved information specific to other games in the series to their own articles. That might still be feasible: if not, I think it's probably best just to delete this article. I can't really see it creating much controversy. – – Sean Daugherty (talk) 21:30, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Deletion discussion

message: I'm going to be bold and change this to a list of Final Fantasy (I) characters. --TheEmulatorGuy 03:41, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Final Fantasy

message: I notice that the article has been moved from List of Final Fantasy characters to List of Final Fantasy I characters. I understand that the change was made to avoid confusion, but, generally speaking, we don't refer to the game as Final Fantasy I, and, technically speaking, it's not actually called Final Fantasy I. Personally, I'd prefer if we stuck with "List of Final Fantasy characters," both to correspond to our other articles, and to avoid using an unofficial title for the game. To avoid too much confusion, a disambiguation note could be added near the top of the article to clarify matters. Thoughts, anyone? – Sean Daugherty (talk) 01:29, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
