Attribution history

Article was splitted from Common elements of Final_Fantasy. – Sadalmelik ☎ 14:13, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- To clarify, the old article now focuses on Character design of Final Fantasy. All stuff about combat, weapons, and items go here. Other general information about the series goes at the main series article: Final Fantasy. Randomran (talk) 17:49, 18 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Limit Break - FFVI

Just wanted to explain my edit. When FFVI was released in the US in 1994 as FFIII, a lot of dialogue text had been omitted due to SNES cartridge memory constraints. The English version of the game didn't contain an explanation of the special moves that sometimes occurred when a character had low HP. Fans of the game coined the term "Desperation Move". However, in the Japanese version of the game, one of the instructor NPCs in the tutorial room early in the game explained the moves and referred to them as "hissatsuwaza", which is often translated as "deathblow". (hissu = certain, satsu = kill, waza = skill) Druff (talk) 23:32, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

ramuh should not redirect here

Ramuh is also the name of an actual Hindu god —Preceding unsigned comment added by YVNP (talk • contribs) 01:58, 4 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, rather ridiculous really.--76.120.74.22 (talk) 22:57, 27 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I created another redirect, Ramuh (Final Fantasy), that can be used in lieu of it until someone writes the article for Ramuh, the god, on Ramuh. I am also in the process of changing all of the redirect links that refer to the Final Fantasy character from Ramuh to Ramuh (Final Fantasy) instead.

Image copyright problem with File:Final Fantasy V - Job System.png

The image File:Final Fantasy V - Job System.png is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
That this article is linked to from the image description page.

The following images also have this problem:

This article should be reincorporated into Final Fantasy article

It's rather odd to have an encyclopedia entry titled "Gameplay of Final Fantasy". It's really a sub-topic and not appropriate as a standalone. It should be reincorporated back in the Final Fantasy article itself. There's more to consider than sizes of articles. Yetheu (talk) 02:31, 27 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm gonna put a screen shot in

I just wanna know if its alright if i add a screen shot of the atb system, as well as a couple other things (i dont like that diagram) Air you breathe (talk) 02:58, 7 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

gameplay system changes

the article says that the only noticeable change in the gameplay system has been Crisis core. That's untrue. Dirge of Cerberus had a shooter system and Tactics had a turn based strategy system. Someone should make a mini section for the games that have had the battle system changed and pull the crisis core line. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.71.110.244 (talk) 12:46, 28 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Removed in-universe tag

This article is blatantly out-of-universe; the entire angle of the article is out-of-universe. "In-universe style" means writing from the perspective of being within the storyline, not discussing elements about the work. I'm not sure why the tag was added. In other news, a merge may be appropriate if nobody is interested in turning this into a more balanced article anytime soon. — Deck iller 23:58, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Active Time Battle

I have been thinking about creating the Active Time Battle article for a while, since this battle system is so prominent in the series and several other games made use of this system, even though the system is trademarked by SquareEnix. ThiagoSimoes (talk) 23:02, 1 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The result was not merged. --BDD (talk) 20:05, 11 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I propose that User:Deckiller/Gameplay of Final Fantasy be merged into Gameplay of Final Fantasy. I found this article when I was trying to fix a redirect issue involving the article Ramuh. The article on the "user space" was created back in 2006, and hasn't been edited since 2009 (until I posted the merger request on User:Deckiller/Gameplay of Final Fantasy). I believe the information found in User:Deckiller/Gameplay of Final Fantasy (even though a lot of the text in User:Deckiller/Gameplay of Final Fantasy is exactly the same as Gameplay of Final Fantasy) could be added into the primary article to make this article even better. Steel1943 (talk) 02:55, 4 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. I looked through all possible articles on Wikipedia regarding merging, and I could not find anything about a request like this (merging a user page into an article) not being allowed. If I am wrong, please let me know. Steel1943 (talk) 03:09, 4 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've never heard of a merge between userspace and mainspace pages. If the userspace version were deemed superior, it could boldly overwrite the article. If you feel there's content on the user version worth integrating, you can do this yourself. Per WP:STALEDRAFT, the user version can be sent to WikiProject Abandoned Drafts or nominated for deletion at Miscellany for deletion. I see you've notified the creator, which is good. A manual process seems ideal, and I'm willing to work with you on it if you don't want to do it all yourself.--BDD (talk) 17:21, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- BDD, I like that idea. I would be up for the idea to merge the two together (with some help). After a bit of an assessment by myself in regards to User:Deckiller/Gameplay of Final Fantasy, the article Gameplay of Final Fantasy is definitely the superior article. However, there is definitely some sections in User:Deckiller/Gameplay of Final Fantasy that are not present in Gameplay of Final Fantasy, and could definitely be integrated. And yes, I have notified Deckiller regarding this on their talkpage, so I have done what I can to make them aware of the intention that these two articles should be merged. I'm going to look over what I can right now to see what I can find could be merged, but probably will not do any edits until later. Steel1943 (talk) 03:42, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm opposed to merging in any unreferenced content, or content solely referenced to the games/manuals. Two years ago this article was dangerously close to being deleted. While I'm opposed to deletion, the only thing saving this article from the wrath of Wikipedia's rising standards is for the quality of the article to rise with it. The safer track would be to drastically scale back the unreferenced sections on armor, weapons, and items. That being said, I am okay with adding anything from deckillers version if it has reliable independent references, so that we avoid the accusations of original research by synthesis. I'd be interested to hear from deckiller himself as to why he has a userfied version. I suspect it has to do with information that no one can find sources for. 74.198.9.180 (talk) 05:50, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Active Time Battle expired patent?

The ATB patent was assigned in 1992 and has past 20 years, so this patent would be expired? some information source to confirm it and add it to the article please?
