It's okay if I "steal" your FAQ idea to do it for FFVI?.

TenzaZangetsu 12,794 November 5 2009 (UTC) - "Those who do not understand true pain can never understand true peace.":

Thanks, Drakie, it's okay I call you that way, right?.

I usually prefer it spelled with a "y", but yes you can call me that. You can also call me Captain Clawfang the Magnificently Magnanimous Mental-Case. Whichever you prefer is fine. Drake Clawfang 22:15, November 5, 2009 (UTC)

TenzaZangetsu 12,794 November 5 2009 (UTC) - "What I have shown you is reality. What you remember, that is the illusion":

I think I'll go with mine ;). But in another matter, does the Shadow (Boss) page it's going to be created or what?.

Not sure, it depends on if Shadow as an enemy has stats, if he does then yes. If you know someone who could find out, great. Drake Clawfang 22:19, November 5, 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, just in case yer wondering why you don't see massive RC spammage from me. Me talk page says it all. At least some big things got done beforehand, like them Enemy Ability pages and crap .V.

[edit] Summonstone?

Can you look on Summons (Dissidia) and see if there's anything on Summonstones that need to be explained more? I don't know know what your rationale for suggesting the page should be called "Summonstone" is, but I haven't played the game. If you could put something on the talk page explaining your position it would be helpful. 8 bit 22:55, November 10, 2009 (UTC)

Well the one thing I can speculate on is that Dissidia's summons somehow need to be "charged", because I've noticed at the end of some fights a message "charging Summonstone <name>" appears. I think it may be related to if the player can use the summonstone in battle or not. Drake Clawfang 22:59, November 10, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] FFIX Template

Because we're making ability templates for the games that have multiple abilities. FFT, Crisis Core, and XI all already do it, and we are going to add V, VIII, and IX. Also, all abilities (that aren't part of a skillset) that don't have pages are going to be made even if they only appear in one game (some player ability rule or something). ScatheMote 01:11, November 12, 2009 (UTC)

Right, but that doesn't answer my question. Those pages already have the overarching "Ability" Template, we're going to add the separate game templates to them too now? Several pages will end up with like, a dozen Templates if we do that. Drake Clawfang 01:15, November 12, 2009 (UTC)

But I don't think we're doing it with every game, just the ones with many recurring support abilities (V, VIII, IX). And I said before, we already do it for FFT, CC, and XI, so it makes sense if we do it for every applicable game. ScatheMote 01:22, November 12, 2009 (UTC)

Still not answering my question. Nevermind, do whatever. Drake Clawfang 01:23, November 12, 2009 (UTC)

Let me put it this way: This is how several Ability pages will end up looking, even if we only do specific game templates for certain games. You're good with that? Drake Clawfang 01:25, November 12, 2009 (UTC)

Eh, I see what you mean. I was just doing it because the way it was told to me I assumed we had already discussed this and decided that the clutter was irrelevant. I think we should discuss this a bit more in the forums or something. ScatheMote 01:29, November 12, 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, it's not that I don't agree with the theory, but so many abilities are in so many games, they would end up with so many Templates and it would look really ugly. We should add the "FF# Abilities" templates to the ability pages for abilities from that game, but for more broad abilities....hm....yeah, a forum might be a good idea for this. Drake Clawfang 01:34, November 12, 2009 (UTC)

I had an idea. What if we coded pages with so many templates to "hide" them? Drake Clawfang 01:40, November 12, 2009 (UTC)

That's a good idea. We could make a nav nav template that sticks all the nav templates inside. ScatheMote 01:44, November 12, 2009 (UTC)

No no, not a template for templates! I mean on the page itself, we add coding to hide the Templates. Gimme a minute, I'll show you. Drake Clawfang 01:48, November 12, 2009 (UTC)

Just found it won't work, if we were to put the Collapsible Templates inside a Collapsible Table, "Showing" the Table would "Show" the Templates inside as well. So we can't do that. Drake Clawfang 01:51, November 12, 2009 (UTC)

I already have a topic over on the forums for the templates if you guys want to talk there. Granted, I'll probably forget about the topic myself...

Anywho, I've already made my post on the subject at hand anyways there and on the FFX/FFIX/FFVIII ability templates... Xenomic 02:05, November 12, 2009 (UTC)

You sir are awesome for having that Sephiroth userbox. He is very overrated and very boring. Kefka is the superior villain. Anyway, I was wondering if you ever considered an FFIII DS walkthrough?

Drake Clawfang - I wouldn't mind meeting her under the mistletoe...
TALK - 07:02, November 12, 2009 (UTC)

Agreed, though many other villains are superior too. As for FF3 DS, ironically that's the last game in the main series I have yet to play. I usually walkthrough games based on how much fun they are, and how much the Wiki would need the walkthrough, so we'll see if I enjoy the game once I play it.

TheBlueDragoon
TALK - TheBlueDragoon 02:14, November 13, 2009 (UTC)

Ah, I see. I've been playing it and it needs a good walkthrough and I thought of you and BlueHighwind. I really don't have the time to make a walkthrough, nor would I be good at it.

Think ye can do little old man Xenomic a favor? Can ye add the spell images for FFVIII over on the List of Final Fantasy VIII Spells page? That would help me out a lot as I'm adding them to the individual pages atm ^^;; If not, then I can handle it too I guess...

Just asking, but a user from another Wiki is having a difficult time with another user, this other user keeps on making inappropriate changes to character and user pages, calling them lesbians and dicks. A user that was recently assaulted came to me and asked me to erase the user that kept doing these atrocities. So I wanted to ask if you knew how to erase a user? Werehog 12:36 AM 11/18/2009 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for the Omega Profile

I've never had the time/patience to put my theory into words, but you did it very profoundly. Thanks for the edit dood. TheMasterFighter 07:52, November 22, 2009 (UTC)

No problem. Drake Clawfang 07:54, November 22, 2009 (UTC)

I appreciate your advice and politeness, but I'd just have to disagree with your claim that my picture additions are irrelevant. Yes, they were initially too large and I thank you for your instructions on resizing, but certain images in the Cloud article such as the cross dressing screen shot were unnecessary. The images I inserted I believe do enhance the article to a degree.

[edit] Gifs

Do NOT replace PNGs with GIFs. And don't bother doing anything to the FFVI enemy images since I'm (slowly) going through them all and cropping and making them all transparent PNGs. IL HI ^(W/B) 16:16, November 23, 2009 (UTC)

Oh, and if you want an explanation, PNGs resize FAR better. IL HI ^(W/B) 16:21, November 23, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Err...

Hi. I would just like to ask: was there a reason for you undoing the entry I made? I'm not offended, just confused. AssassinLegend 03:05, November 25, 2009 (UTC)

Well mostly, it was a fanvid, and as with fanart I believe you need the user's permission to use those here. But also, while the work in the vid was impressive, the swords weren't entirely accurate reproductions of what is seen in the movie, and linking to the video as a whole isn't needed when several detailed diagrams of the swords and how they slot together are already present in the article. Drake Clawfang 03:07, November 25, 2009 (UTC)

Ah. Whoops. Didn't think of the first part.

The reason I uploaded it was because to those who haven't watched AC (me being one of them) would be kind of confused with the diagrams. The Korean one (or, at least I believe it is Korean), for instance, doesn't really make it clear that the two back blades are extremely thin, and connect to each other. AssassinLegend 07:03, November 25, 2009 (UTC)

No problem. As far as I know though, the back blades don't connect to each other, they connect to the main blade individually. Drake Clawfang 07:11, November 25, 2009 (UTC)

True. They don't really connect, but they slide and lock into place on separate sides. Whoops. AssassinLegend 20:21, November 25, 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, it's not like the movie ever gives us a clear view of exactly *how* they all connect. I'd personally like to know, since the swords all just appear to slide into the handle, what's locking them in place. Drake Clawfang 20:23, November 25, 2009 (UTC)

Yup. You can figure that out with the hollow blade, but not so for the rest, really. AssassinLegend 23:21, November 25, 2009 (UTC)

Can you please explain to me why the VI enemy gif files like File:MasterTonberryVI.gif you are uploading are superior to the PNG ones like File:Masterpug.PNG you're marking for deletion? I remember that transparent png files are better than jpg files... but I'm not sure about gifs. These gifs are transparent, right? I don't know as much as ILHI or Fae about files, but it seems the former is against it. For now, when you mark the VI enemy png images for deletion, could you not replace the entire page with the template? Just add the delete template to the top of the page - thanks.

Yes, the .gif files are transparent, but ILHI says the PNG format is superior for....some reason, and says the .gif ones go. You're the Admin, you make the call. As for the second part, noted. Drake Clawfang 05:18, November 25, 2009 (UTC)

I do a lot of work with this kind of thing. I find that PNGs scale better, plus you have true alpha blending, where GIF can only set a color to transparent. PNG also has a better color depth, but for sprites, GIF is fine in most cases. GIF is also slightly smaller, even compared to an 8-bit PNG, so it really depends on what you're going for. 3D images would probably best be in PNG. Bluestarultor 05:26, November 25, 2009 (UTC)

thanks for the welcome.

[edit] Um, hello

Hello, Mister Drake Clawfang. You probably don't know me, but I think should have seen me around the KH Wiki and sometimes here, too. I just wanted to meet you, at least once. I see you everyone on the Internet. Fanfiction.Net, YouTube, all of the wikis I go to, you're everyone. You must do a lot of things, huh? I wonder how you do it.

Since I have the courage to come here at last, I want to thank you for lending a hand to the KH Wiki sometimes. So...Thank you.

I hope you update that Dissidia fanfic of yours soon. It's the best one in the section. Everything is kinda boring. I love how you did Sephiroth and Kefa's "conversations". They make me laugh. It'd be nice if someone did a Terra and Sephiroth fanfic, don't you think so? It could make a crack in the relationships between the Heros and the Villians. Could be fun, right?

Well, I'll see seeing you. Oh, and I read some of your Inuyasha ones! They're great. I love Inuyasha so much. Have you watch the new season, Inuyasha: The Final Act?--Ninja Sheik 15:31, December 13, 2009 (UTC)

Heh, thanks for the praise, it's always nice to meet a fan. In response to Inuyasha, no I haven't seen it yet, I'm waiting for the dub. Doreiku Kuroofangu 20:29, December 13, 2009 (UTC)

You reply to me! Yay! I got worried. I hope you update soon with that Dissidia fic! Everything's so boooring! Maybe you should think fo the whole Terra & Sephhiroth I mention! I was thinking about doing one, but I don't have a plot to do it. It could be fun to use in a fanfic.--Ninja Sheik 20:34, December 13, 2009 (UTC)

In my story, no I won't be doing TxS. Sephiroth is interested in her, but not romantically, his interest in her stems from her relationship with Cloud and her similarities to a "certain someone". And hey, if you think of a plot, go for it. I've read some of the fanfics out there, as long as you don't insert author notes in the middle of a sentence and use proper spelling and grammar, you'll already be in the better portion of writers. Doreiku Kuroofangu 20:38, December 13, 2009 (UTC)

Aww, poopie. Well, that's okay. I still don't know if I should do it. I don't think I could capture everyone right. I'll think about it.

So...I was wondering...Can you please tell me what's going to happen in the next chapter!?! Please!? Pretty please with a cherry on top?--Ninja Sheik 20:41, December 13, 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, I don't do spoilers. I'll tell you this much, it leads into another fight scene. Doreiku Kuroofangu 20:49, December 13, 2009 (UTC)

More fighting, of course! You know, you should let Sephiroth kill Kefa! He creeps me out!--Ninja Sheik 20:51, December 13, 2009 (UTC)

Ha ha, good! If Kefka isn't creepy, he and I aren't doing our jobs properly. BTW, when it comes to SephyxKefka, I'm on the K-man's side. ;p Doreiku Kuroofangu 20:58, December 13, 2009 (UTC)

I'm on Sephiroth's! He's so cool, and strong, and handsome! He's so great! Kyaaa~!--Ninja Sheik 20:59, December 13, 2009 (UTC)
