[edit] hey guys

Hey guys shouldn't the title for the Featured article be a link so you can go look at the whole article from there? Thai420 22:24, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, or at least the start of the article, which is now bold. --Hecko X 22:27, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
Yeah thats what I was talking about. :) Thai420 22:50, 12 November 2006 (UTC)


Why isn't Kingdom Hearts I and II counted as a spin-off of the Final Fantasy series? Anam

Actually, you're right. It has as much reason to be on that category as Seiken Densetsu. Auron Kaizer

[edit] Article Rotation

That black mage has been up there for a while... Shouldn't the article of the week be rotating more often? --69.142.120.32 02:20, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

I've put that comment on the votes page. I'm looking for some ideas. White Mage is up there, but I don't want to feature it right after Black Mage. Crazyswordsman 02:25, 8 December 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Article of the Week

Uhhh...... big issue. The Article of the Week has not changed since I joined here a while ago (month-2 months)--Puck Udroc 18:15, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

CSM is fresh out of ideas, and I also have nothing to add. We are aware of the issue, but in stead of stating the obvious, you could make a creative suggestion to help out. --Hecko X 18:28, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
Perhaps we should lower the standards for a featured page? There aren't many articles like the previous ones, to say the least. --Auron Kaizer 19:07, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
That is something you would have to discuss with CSM. I don't really run anything that is on the main page. --Hecko X 19:10, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Featured Article

Now, getting a new one is fair and good, but shouldn't we just make it 'Featured Article' instead of Article of the week? Since a new one next week, and next, and next seems fairly unlikely? --Auron Kaizer 15:40, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

It's more of "Article of the whenever we get a good one." Although I'm thinking of using Locke next, and then White Mage. Crazyswordsman 16:10, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
I think that's what AK meant by what he said. By simply calling it "Featured Article", we are not tying ourselves to any sort of renewal-time, and we'll be able to update it whenever we can, without missing a deadline (because the deadline is non-existant). --Hecko X 16:18, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] IE/Firefox

CSM, sure it's not just your screen setup? I tested with both IE and Firefox with no visible flaws. In Firefox, both versions looked exactly the same, except there was less white space between the text and the "This Week's Featured Article"-box without the additional code. Can you possibly take a screen of both cases on your computer and upload it somewhere, so that I can specificly see the problem? --Hecko X 21:51, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

IE is too slow for me to even open. --Crazyswordsman 02:24, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
That's weird, I was sure that since you said the problem occured in Firefox, that I would have asked for screens of the problem... in Firefox. "Both cases" applies to the current main page and the one I changed it to... The only mention I ever made of IE was that it worked there, so I don't know from where you got that notion. --Hecko X 11:54, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
In FF, your option goes all the way to the left. Here's a solution: Why don't you just download Firefox? --Crazyswordsman 15:12, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
Okay, seriously, do you just pick random words from people's comments and figure that that's what they are saying? Like... How could I have tested it in Firefox, if I didn't already have it? And why would that be a solution in any way for the millions of IE user that I have Firefox? And was "Can you possibly take a screen of both cases on your computer and upload it somewhere, so that I can specificly see the problem?" too confusing in some way, since you started describing it instead? I mean, come on, if a description was specific enough, why wouldn't I have just asked for it instead of wanting screens? No, if you're dislexic or something, I can understand why this happens practically all the time and I could probably teach you a technique or two that has helped me out, but you have to come out and say it, if that's the case. --Hecko X 16:22, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] I was thinking maybe

We could do what the Homestar Runner Wiki does about this. They say that they recommend Firefox for a browser. There are many sites that do that now. Do you think we should join? I mean, I got Firefox and all my problems went away (although some new ones sprouted; now my computer can't read kana). I'm not trying to advertise. But a solution would be to just download Firefox, no? --Crazyswordsman 04:28, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, but when random people recommended you something, would you actually do it? People will always go with what they prefer, and if something overlaps this, they ignore it. In short. If thousands of people prefer using IE over Firefox, what we say ain't gonna make any difference. Today, approximately 1 in 3 use Firefox, while the remaining two use IE (Oparia and whatever the rest are called are not taken into account, as they make up 3% when all are added together). But with the "recent" release of IE7.0, this may once again change in favor of IE, since many of Firefox's unique features are no longer unique (like tabbed browsing and whatnot). So the only logical thing to do is to try to make stuff work in both IE and Firefox. --Hecko X 06:25, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
When the staff tried it on my personal role play board, we got about twenty people to try it, and my message board probably gets less than one percent of the traffic FFWiki does. It could have a substantial influence coming from the best Final Fantasy experts in the country.--MarioFanaticXV 02:29, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] An Idea

I was just thinking. Now that we can use Youtube coding, how about a "Video of the Week" feature? God knows, there's enough of them to choose from. --Lycentia 22:18, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

It's becoming less of a wiki and more of a YouTube showcase... --Auron Kaizer 22:36, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
Well, it's easier that trying to pick a article every week. --Lycentia 23:04, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
We're not just going to go around showing Youtubes of movies. The Youtubes we use should show people performing skills or doing something dramatic. We're not going to host a full length Youtube movie of FFVIIAC, as much as I want to punish Square for making that. --Crazyswordsman 02:25, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
Some ideas for the main page then:
Change "This week's featured article" to "Featured Article".
Add in a little box that displays random trivia, if possible.
Well, that's actually all I got. But putting You Tube on the main page isn't a good idea IMO. Diablocon 12:27, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
Don't forget a quote of the day/week/year/discriminative time frame. I'm still working on that.--Goldberry2000 15:35, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
Hehe, Featured article of the discriminative time frame, has a nice ring to it. Think I'll try and make a Trivia box later. Diablocon 16:37, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
A Trivia Box sounds good. "Did you know that Kefka is considered the best bad guy in FF history because he was the only one to actually BECOME a god? He also destroyed the world." Like that, you mean?--Goldberry2000 17:48, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
Hehe, pretty much, except not so biased.
And (SPOILER) there is another FF villain who has obtained Godhood, at least I think so. When Vayne fuses with Venat, he is fusing with a god, thus becoming one himself. Just a little theory I came up with. Diablocon 17:52, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
Since the whole Youtube thing was brought up, I'd like to mention to all those people who haven't seen Advent Children yet that while I do not advertise or affliate to piracy that I may have a playlist on youtube that contains it...Here--Goldberry2000 17:57, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
If anyone cares, I made a mock design for a trivia box here. Diablocon 18:23, 14 February 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Just an Idea

  • I know I haven't been here for very long, but one of the first things I noticed is how full the front page is. I think maybe listing every single sequel and collection etc is a bit much. I bet there are far more important things that could go there, like a "did you know?" section? or a quote of the week?

What do you think? Cheers for listening. Thom32 1st of March 2007

  • Both a quote of the week section (me) and a triva/did you know section (Diablocon) are in the making. However, the main page is actually quite small when compared to some of the riddiculous pages on other wikis; everything there is there for a reason in my opinion. Perhaps we could add a [hide] function on the boxes? I'll ask Hecko if that's possible.--Goldberry2000 13:34, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
We can always shrink the text a teeny bit on the links. That might help. --Lycentia 20:19, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
On second thought, never mind. It didn't look right. --Lycentia 20:31, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Quote of the Day

A popular feature on some Wikis is a Quote of the Day feature on the Front Page. Now, I'm pretty sure Final Fantasy is big enough to have such a function. It wouldn't require much work, just have one person update it each day, hopefully at the same time if possible. All we'd need is a template that can be easily manipulated, and an archives page to store old quotes. I know this has already been suggested, but Goldberry seems to have dissappeared jsut now on the matter. Diablocon 19:38, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Sure. But please, PLEASE, don't use quotes from fan translations and or FFIV snes translation! Kills the english language more than leetspeak that does. --Auron Kaizer 20:08, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
That will be decided in the future. Besides, it's always worth the humor value to say stuff like "He must have been manipulated by the Baron while he was brainwashed." --Crazyswordsman 20:19, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
I'm trying to find an existing template or a tutorial on how to add it, but I can't seem to find one. --Lycentia 20:21, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
\/\/4|-|+ 15 +3|-| |*6()8|_3/\/\ \/\/1+|-| 133715/\/\???? (Translation: Waht is teh problem with leetism?)
1+ 15 +3|-| 6()><><()6 (Translation: It is teh roxxor)
On topic now, I think that it is a good idea, and probably better to have some of the more obscure quote rather than the ones that people remember. E.G. Don't go for 'This is my story' but for something like 'Damn the Al Bhed' (crap example I know but I couldn't think of anything else) StijnX 21:22, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
IF I'm understanding it right, having it change day by day, would require separate pages with separate quotes with dated titles. I'm using Wookieepedia as a reference. An easier way to do it would be to use the DYK type coding, which make it change when the page it's on is visited. Otherwise, it could be a major pain to edit. --Lycentia 21:39, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
I haven't dissappeared. I have spent the last 24 hours in bed with flu... not fun at all. I will sort everything out for the QOTD if it goes ahead; I have about three times as many quotes on my laptop than I do actually on my page. If it goes ahead, and we can find a suitable template, I've got it all in hand.--Goldberry2000 22:46, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
EDIT: RECOVERING from flu. Jees, I still haven't recovered my coherancy. I'm only gonna be around for another half hour tonight and then I'll be back to normal tomorrow.--Goldberry2000 22:48, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
Quotes should come from everywhere. Be they the good translations, the bad translations, or maybe not even from the games themselves. Quotes from the producers and stuff would be cool, if possible.
And of course, Oscar Wilde. Diablocon 13:39, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
Okay, I'm back (again); I realise I haven't been around much lately, and that doesn't look as though it's going to improve anytime soon either. However, I am working through FF3 and compiling a list of quotes as I go, so the QOTD is still in business. I'll be around today and tomorrow, that's at the very least for sure.--Goldberry2000 13:36, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

I came up with this. Trying to group them together is rather difficult though. And I removed the Final Fantasy VI: The Interactive CG Game. I'm not sure it really belongs there, since it was never really released as a game.
Nicely done. As always.--Goldberry2000 14:55, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] FF movie?

I thaught there were 2 of 3 movies? i can't find them tho. U may need 2 fix up that template involving spin-offs.

The only movies are:
  • Spirits Within
  • Advent Children
Everything else isn't a movie, but just an animation (Legend of the Crystals, Unlimited, etc). Diablocon 22:33, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
Crazyswordsman - Final Fantasy VI, because Drake says he wants to link to FF7 every day, which is bad because that game is so far inferior to FF6.

[edit] FFXII bestiary

I'm fairly certain that the bestiary entries and the sage knowledge entries are from the FFXII Bestiary at http://www.ff12bestiary.com/. There doesn't seem to be any crediting given, so unless someone really did go to all the work to type all of that up (which seems unlikely, given it's volume), it needs to be given. If I'm wrong, then I apologize.KrytenKoro 01:17, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

They stole it from the game, so let us send a mail to Squenix and have them closed down. --Auron Kaizer 01:21, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
I can tell you that for all of the XII enemy articles I made (which is over 200 of them), I added stats from my own Brady Games strategy guide and transcribed bestiary entries from the game as they were displayed on my own TV screen. I put over 50 hours on my save file doing this. I can't speak for the other users that have contributed to the XII bestiary, but I'm sure they did something similar. I personally didn't even know that website existed. Sorry if my dedication to my projects surprises you. Mymindislost 01:27, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
And for all the "Insight" I have written, I also simply looked at the information in the game and typed it word for word. Like AK says, it's all from the game, we just had a common source. Also, had we really copied it from them, don't you think we would have gotten it all at once, rather than updating slowly over the course of 6 months? --Hecko X 01:39, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
We persevere doing what we're so fond of and people say we copy things? Bleh. Mind you, for stats and whatnots, it's the Ultimania i'm referring to. And Hecko's right, it all comes from the same source, so if any credit should be given, its to Squenix for making such a great game! Bluerダヨ 02:47, 28 May 2007 (UTC)


StijnX - Patriotism is the virtue of the vicious - Oscar Wilde
TALK - To be a debaser
This has got me thinking about something, the actual numbers are useless unless we know how they are applied, level gives a rough idea but not much so does anyone know, or can find out, the battle formulae? Just a thought
Hecko Xtalk - blog - anime rants
12:52, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
That's actually an extremely good point. To the Wiki-mobile!! But seriously, knowing the actually formula would be briliant, but I can't think of any way to attain it, other than through hours of killing, comparing and calculating and even still, because the damage seems to be in intervals (you can hit the same enemy, with the same weapon twice, and not do the same damage), would indicate that we are also dealing with variables. Fortunately, the difference isn't too grand, so it shouldn't have a massive impact, but it still leaves room for minor mistakes, which should be mentioned. Then again, Blue, do you know if the Ultimania makes any mention of this?
occu-14.png
Ser Blue says at 14:05, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
The FFXII Battle Ultimania does an extensive research and coverage on all weapons stats, magic stats, item stats, enemy stats and whatnots. There's a lot of modifiers involved, and every weapon deals damage according to character stats, except the guns. Some depends on STR, MAG, VIT or SPD, or one or two of them. If you choose to fight empty handed, for example, it calculates with this formula: (11 x random value between 1 and 1.125 - DEF) x STR x ((char.level + STR)/256) = damage given. Equipping a 1-H Sword, the formula is (weapons ATK value x random value between 1 and 1.125 - DEF) x (1 + STR) x ((char.level + STR)/256). I could scan a page if you want, but you might want to check out GameFaqs, there's one that translated all the game mechanics in the Ultimania.
Hecko Xtalk - blog - anime rants
20:50, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
Just so there are no possible misunderstandings. When you say "-DEF", I assume you mean the defense of the enemy, correct?
occu-14.png
Ser Blue says at 00:45, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
Yes, the DEF of the enemy, not the character. Just to add, 1-H and 2-H swords, spear, crossbow and rod apply to the latter formula. For maces, replace all STR with MAG. For poles, replace DEF with MDEF, enemy magic defense. Katana and ninja sword, add chara level with MAG, not STR. Daggers and ninja sword, add chara level with SPD, not STR.
"If I'm wrong, then I apologize." - you don't have to bite my head off. I'm sorry, then - I knew that the Bestiary was considered a fairly well-known site (at least, on the boards), so I logically assumed that obsessed fans would have heard of it. I apologize, then.KrytenKoro 03:26, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
Before acusing someone with "I'm fairly certain this is copied" just look at the history pages here. Bestiary and map pages have been updated HERE as soon as the game came out. You had some nerve saying they were copied. If anything, the site you mentioned likely copyed and pasted from here Renmiri 03:33, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Pfft! Just look at his contributions here 90% whining and 1% helping. I find it rather hard to swallow he can edit a wiki page but is incapable of looking at page history before accusing everyone here of plagiarism on the main page nonetheless. Good thing he didn't accuse us of copying the XII maps or I would have truly bitten his head off. I logged 1,000 hours of play ripping those and the bestiary images. Renmiri

Hey all, this may have been discussed at some point but bear with me... I was wasting time checking out some of the other Wikia sites and noticed that the Zelda Wiki and several others have almost the exact same front page as we do. Since it seems we are one of the most active and tightly managed gaming Wikia's, I propose that we start talking about a complete redesign of the main page.
Goldberry2000 - That was a rhetorical question, and the answer was my fist

We're working on a lot of little things at the moment; I'm doing the quote of the day thingie (well... it's in the back of my mind at all times), and theres some organising for some splitting being looked into again. We'll probably all pitch in and **** up the main page once we've got the new content sorted.
Diablocon - No, the question is; who art thou, ham planks? Shanks! I meant shanks
TALK - 18:04, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
When I first went to the Zelda Wiki, I thought they had stolen our templates. But I agree, a redesign, something that looks flashy, would be nice. The Homestar and Star Wars wikis have the best front pages IMO.

Kinda sucks that they just put it there without saying anything about it. I'm assuming the person who did it is some Wikia higher-up or something, right? They could've at least said SOMETHING about it... :/

I'm sure he was acting in good faith. Let's not go punishing people who act in good faith. Let's just decide whether or not we want something like this. If the answer is yes, it stays. If the answer is no, it goes. It's as simple as that.
Should we have that ugly template on our page?

I know it was in good faith, and I certainly didn't mean to imply anything like "punishment." Sorry if I did. I think that it's a good idea to have those links, but that info could go in the sidebar and be just as effective.

I'm not a Wikia staffer, I'm just someone who works on other gaming wikis where such template has been used. Since you don't like it, you can always remove it, which I've just done :). Ausir 15:26, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

I know you were acting in good faith. I actually have plans in the works to make a gaming Wiki alliance independent of Wikia, which'll include gaming Wikis that are both part of Wikia and not (the really good Mario Wiki, for instance, isn't in Wikia).

[edit] Ideas for the Featured Article

Squall92 00:58, 27 October 2007 (UTC) I have been checking in for a while but Ramza seems to have been the Featured Article For a while. I, for one, would like to nominate Nobuo Uematsu for the Featured Article. Anybody have an idea that they want to see done?

I second the nomination for Uematsu.

The featured article changes on the first of every month, hence why it's the featured article of the month. It will change on Thursday, the first of November.

Also, there's a page to nominate featured articles somewhere.

Squall92 21:21, 27 October 2007 (UTC) Thank you, I have found the area of the website where you can put up ideas for the Featured Article. I have re-nominated Nobuo Uematsu on the correct page. I apologize for my mistake, I did not know it was for the month, and I am sorry for my ignorance.

[edit] Kingdom Hearts on Front Page

I may be a newbie on this site, but I've noticed that the Kingdom Hearts series isn't on the frontpage under spinoffs and such. The series I believe should be on the front page instead of it being scattered about since it does have Final Fantasy characters (like Auron, Squall, Yuffie, the Gullwings, Cloud, Sephiroth, Setzer, Cid Highwind, etc.) intertwined to the story along with some of the Square Enix staff like Tetsuya Nomura that work with the Final Fantasy series. Just a quick piece of advice from a newbie whose user name depicts his favorite Fina Fantasy protagonist.

It's just that KH isn't really a spinoff. No, just because many FF characters appear in it does not make it a spinoff. Is Itadaki Street a FF spinoff?

There was a time once when KH was on the main page under spinoffs, but we (or at least someone) decided that it's not a true spinoff. However, our wiki does cover the FF elements that are in the KH series.

Since there is an actual Kingdom Hearts Wiki, we let them handle the more in-depth KH info.

What those two guys said.

To be a spin-off, you pretty much have to have the words Final Fantasy in your title.
