I will be removing the mention of "Fayth" from this disambiguation. It may sound the same, but it is not the same. It's not even spelled with an "I" in-game >:3 AJDurai 11:37, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
- I agree here. Fayth is a dead person; faith ith belief in god.--Werefang 11:52, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
- Square Enix was obviously playing on the English word "Faith" to make this word "Fayth". Its a homograph, and a clear religious reference. --BlueHighwind ツ 11:59, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
- That may be. But was it not the wiki's position to limit disambiguation to similarly spelt terms? Obviously Fayth does not belong in this. AJDurai 12:05, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
- Well, what if somebody types "faith" looking for "Fayth". Then how would they find their way? They're certainly similar enough that that mistake is reasonable and understandable. I say ere on the side of caution.

- And that certainly is. A religious reference in FFX is nothing unusual. Remember you need Fayth to fight Sin. Along the way you have to go to Cloisters of Trials, which happen to be in Temples. There is a Hymn of the Fayth. Not to mention Monks, and Crusaders. --BlueHighwind ツ 12:16, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
- What would the "Help:Tags and Disambiguation" say about this? Is it viable according to this Help page?
- Good "original research". Not that I'm saying it's unreasonable, it is. But that hardly convinces me, unless you are Yoichi Wada, president of Square Enix. AJDurai 12:23, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

I like Kuzlalala's idea, mostly because I've seen other Wikis do it. Something like:
Faith may refer to:
- The recurring spell.
- A stat from Final Fantasy Tactics.
Faith should not to be confussed with:
- Fayth, the whatever from Final Fantasy X.
Or something like that. Helps add a little more to some disambigs. Diablocon 12:38, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
- Interesting approach >:3 AJDurai 12:52, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
- Personally, I don't like it. I like to make disambigs as simple as possible. Just "The magical beings from Final Fantasy X."— If people here are looking for the Fayth, it's hardly relevant at this point that they're searching the wrong title. They'll find out on the page they were looking for. ILHI 16:04, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
