24.92.207.8 01:28, May 3, 2010 (UTC) Removed a large chunk out of Gau's story section because it was devoted more towards explaining the plot of FFVI as opposed to explaining Gau's origins. Could use some design changes...

Instead of just tearing it straight out, rework it. Likeacupcake 01:30, May 3, 2010 (UTC)
There's not much to rework. The article itself admits that Gau does not have a longstanding impact on the plot. Striker 24.92.207.8 01:42, May 3, 2010 (UTC)
Like I said, don't just remove chunks of the article. And that happens with lots of characters, I.e. Steiner has very little impact on the later parts of the game, and serves more as comic relief then anything, same with Cait Sith, Zell, and a host of other characters.

So remind me again why you feel every character should include their respective game's plot synopsis. Particularly those who are otherwise uninvolved with the plot. At most, explain the character's background and be done with it. There's no sense in rambling on about the entire game when 99% of the readers are there to learn about the specific character. If they want to know the plot of the entire game, they will go to the game's main article. Striker 24.92.207.8 02:14, May 3, 2010 (UTC)
You're not listening to me; if want to remove it, go ahead. But instead to tearing it out and leaving this gapping hole in the middle of the page, rework what is remaining or add in a few extra sentences to fill in that gap. With this article, those two paragraphs are bridging the gap between the opening part and the closing section of his story. Rework that to smooth it over, removing the parts that are completely irrelevant, but keep enough so that the reader will still understand what's going on. Writing plots and plot summaries isn't as easy as just saying what each character did, the reader has to understand why the character was there and did that. Likeacupcake 02:28, May 3, 2010 (UTC)

Pronunciation[]

How would his name be pronounced in English? I've been saying "Gow" (like cow). 67.188.45.206 05:55, March 8, 2012 (UTC)

^^I do that. But I'm very sure it's wrong. 79.69.194.12 12:21, March 8, 2012 (UTC)

Weight?[]

For his age/height, he is way over weight! Edgar is underweight for his height(6'0) and he weighs the same amount as Gau. Anybody ever notice that? Or are freaked out by that? 75.66.181.228 22:47, April 30, 2014 (UTC)

Theatrhythm[]

Has Gau ever been officially announced for Theatrhythm Curtain call? Because he's never appeared so far and there is absolutely no info on the page aside from a poor magazine scan. I think it's safe to move that section of the article into the Trivia section and say it was probably a fake. --Pmbarbieri (talk) 14:39, November 8, 2015 (UTC)
