Talk:Tales of the Abyss

message: Tales of the Abyss's characteristic genre name is RPG to Know the Meaning of Birth (生まれた意味を知るRPG ,Umareta imi o shiru RPG?).
I'm sorry, but could this be explained a bit more? I have no idea what that means, nor is it cited. 163.120.254.253 (talk) 00:19, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

message: I have deleted the character list, as it is very probably a copyright violation of this article. Please, redo the list without doing a copy/paste (even the line breaks were similar). -- ReyBrujo 20:31, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: The character list is good, but it's pretty big. I think it should be in a seperate article (List of Tales of the Abyss characters or something similar). Anyone agree? -- Tenks 02:06, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, I just realized how much space it's taking up compared to the rest of the article. Currently I'm working with some friends to include some other major characters, so I guess it'll have to split off soon. I'm also feeling ambitious and hopeing the main characters will have their own articles, eventually >.> --melodiester 02:46, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

text: And a big thanks to whomever put up the character images; I went through and put fair-use rationale, but I've never done that before, so if anyone could check it and make sure I did it right, that'd be great too. I also shifted the character section up since it's one of the more important things in this article. --melodiester 00:15, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

text:  It's tales of desitiny 2 not tales of eternia got it? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.64.195.197 (talk) 16:42, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  That game's Japanese title is Tales of Eternia. It was renamed to "Tales of Destiny II" for the stateside release because of copyright issue. Tales of Destiny 2 is a completely different game. Please don't mix them up and edit the article with incorrect information, thank you. Miyuki 04:31, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I hate to pull WP:Pokemon, but how is a character list for a single game a problem?  Both Mass Effect and Final Fantasy VII have a separate character page. King Zeal (talk) 03:20, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh, god, not Pokemon! *runs* I think FF VII had more major characters than Tales does, but maybe not. Is there any creation/conception information available for the Tales of Abyss characters? What about reception info? If that can be gathered, I could more easily see making a standalone list. Though, looking at the list in the article again, I can see splitting for size, if the individual character sections will actually cover the character's full role in the series (i.e. major plot points, start to finish), with sources. I.E. if its going to be a proper character list, I could support a split (and maybe then, someone will finish the plot section to give the rest of the story instead of just part of it). Though its an anime, rather than a game, I think List of Naruto characters would be a better list to look to for guidance as, unlike the FF list, it is actually an FL and, I think, slightly cleaner in format and organization (and, of course, actually sourced :P). -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 03:47, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Hm.  Is it too late to save some of the original list?  I remember reading several reviews, interviews and articles that could possibly help, but the original list had everything written so rewriting won't be necessary.  King Zeal (talk) 04:47, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It depends. It sounds like the first list was probably deleted for copyvio, so its unlikely to still exist. The second list appears to just be a redirect, so it can be restored since it was just redirected. It does need to be moved to List of Tales of the Abyss characters, though, to meet normal naming conventions. -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 04:53, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay.  Well, I think the second list is most appropriate, although it does need more sources, and some trimming. King Zeal (talk) 13:09, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

message: I suppose this needs a sub-topic too. Pleeeeease cite things, since the official english page is not yet up. I left the note in the coding as a reminder. Good sources are nice. --melodiester 19:22, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: English Release Date

message: I suppose this would be a bit odd for a wikipedia article, but I personally have a huge preference for RPGs with "equippable abilities." Basically, this is just games that have abilities (particularly passive abilities) that can be equipped and un-equipped at any time, or, in the very least, there is no penalty for obtaining an ability (eg, you have to invest points and 'buy' a skill. This is a penalty since you can't refund those points and reinvest in a different skill). The AD Skills are an example of equippable abilities. It would be nice if games with such an element could be 'tagged' as such so that they could be pooled together. I'm having a very difficult time finding new RPGs with equippable abilities (the Final Fantasy series hasn't had them at all since FFX-2, and hasn't had any DECENT ones since FFIX).

message: I know it's going to be released over here, but nothing was said about it being dubbed. Yes, it's being done by Bandai who has dubbed stuff before, but they haven't always dubbed everything. The article also doesn't say whether or not it's dubbed. Right now it's just speculation.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.217.57.181 (talk) 20:16, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Just one thing about the anime 

message: In the characters heading it says Jade is called "the Necromancer" because he raised the dead. That is false. When I went to fix it by hitting edit however, it had the correct information about Fomicry in there. Is there a line of code that is preventing that from being shown, or is it just a weird glitch? 97.124.0.160 (talk) 04:48, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
