[edit] lookie

Like my ff12 section it's my first update. :D

[edit] Orthros?

I'm confused. Why isn't the FF12 version considered an "Ultros." I liked what the anon user added, but it got removed. --Zephyrus11 20:47, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Zolo6 - I'll show you, take this Divine Justice! TALK - No time stamp! I believe FF1 DoS is to blame!

[edit] Four separate?

Adam mcduck - "Peace is but a shadow of death, desperate to forget its painful past...": TALK - I'm a user who works in the shadows, unpraised and unnoticed... {{{time}}} Ultros, like all the other boss atricles, should have a 'main' link to his boss page (so there is a universal look). But how should it be done as he has four seperate boss pages?

Ser Blue says at 17:06, 6 May 2008 (UTC) I think these four pages should be merged into one battle page. Just like we did for Edea and Seifer and the other boss pages I couldn't think of right now. That and because this is utter bias.

[edit] Translation Naming Scheme?

Given 'Chupon' was revered to his intended name of Typhon, with the re-release here: http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Typhon_%28Final_Fantasy_VI%29

Wouldn't bringing Ultros to 'Orthos' be appropriate? In case you didn't know: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthrus

There is a thematic mythological link between Typhon/Orthos

TALK - All who resist will be beat like naughty little eggs!- {{{time}}} Usually at the wiki we take the most recent translation of the main series game that the character appeared in. In Final Fantasy VI for both the SNES and GBA editions Ultros was simply "Ultros". His DoS appearance is kind of a cameo :/

[edit] Artwork?

Think someone could track down Uncle Ulty's original artwork, now that we can see such a thing exists? Drake Clawfang 18:13, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Move

Ultros FFVI is the only Ultros in the main-series. He has his own page so there's no reason for his name taking priority over Orthros on this page as Orthros is used in the most recent of translations. So do we move it to Orthros? At the moment, Orthros is only being used as a disambig... it should redirect here but it deserves to be the page, not just something that links here.

Ultros -> Orthros?  I Lion Heart I 20:53, 3 December 2008 (UTC) -- 17:03, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Agreed. He's known as Ultros in side-games, but I'd say main series is more important, and in the main series he's Orthros. Drake Clawfang 20:55, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

I like Ultros better, but really who gives a shit in the end? Same thing. 3 against 1. Move. Now I would do it, if not for the fact that a little redirect was in the way... --BlueHighwind 20:10, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

I tried to move it yesterday, but yeah, damn redirect. Drake Clawfang 20:13, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
