PSP bundle

Some mention needs to be made that a PSP-3000 bundle was not only released in Japan, but in the USA as well, as a GameStop exclusive (albeit without the KH-specific designs on the back). The Mach Turtle (talk) 01:28, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It needs a WP:Reliable source.Tintor2 (talk) 01:36, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

These work? http://www.gamestop.com/Catalog/ProductDetails.aspx?product_id=77896 and http://kotaku.com/5540790/kingdom-hearts-birth-by-sleep-dated-detailed-and-psp-bundled/gallery/ The Mach Turtle (talk) 02:07, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes.Tintor2 (talk) 02:31, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Fantastic! I'm not sure where best the information would go... any suggestions? Or should I wait for someone more experienced to add it? The Mach Turtle (talk) 02:56, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Mmmhhh... Don't know where it could go. The only two section that could fit such info would be development. Today, I'm a bit busy, so don't mind being bold. Regards.Tintor2 (talk) 15:56, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

ShotLock and First-Person Spells

Now that KH:BBS has been released, the information posted under "Gameplay" that "ShotLock" is the method for targeting spells and magical spells are targeted in a First-Person view are not 100% correct. Rather, physical attacks and magical spells are interchangeable (i.e. Both use the "Focus" system, and one remains in third person for using these), and a "ShotLock" is an entirely separate command which is targeted in first person. But I'm not sure how to go about editing it. Seeing as these are observations from gameplay, how do I cite these? Or, better still, could someone who knows what they're doing edit this? Thanks.

Significant Latin Name Meanings- where do I put this?

Not sure where to add this, but the three main characters have names that meaning something in Latin. I'll add further meaningful names as I continue playing. Ventus- Wind Terra- Earth Aqua- Water Vanitas- vanity, emptiness, untruthfulness; futility, foolishness, empty pride;re alread

they're already in the character sections. no need to keep them in this page.Bread Ninja (talk) 07:20, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Voice actors

_{The game also has an all-star voice-acting cast of returning members such as Jesse McCartney and James Woods as well as numerous new actors such as Willa Holland, Leonard Nimoy, and Mark Hamill.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://kotaku.com/5540790/kingdom-hearts-birth-by-sleep-dated-detailed-and-psp-bundled/|title=Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep Dated, Detailed, And PSP Bundled |author=Mike Fahey |date=May 17, 2010 |publisher=[[Kotaku]] |accessdate=May 17, 2010}}</ref>}

has been changed to

_{The game also has an all-star voice-acting cast of returning members such as Haley Joel Osment, Jesse McCartney and James Woods as well as numerous new actors such as Jason Dohring, Willa Holland, Leonard Nimoy, Mark Hamill and Bret Iwan (the new voice actor for Mickey Mouse following the death of Wayne Allwine).<ref>http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1390843/</ref>}

multiple times. The reason it is the way it is, is because it is only listing a FEW EXAMPLES. Not the whole cast. It would be better to have 5 names by a reliable source then 8 names by an unreliable source. Jienum (talk · contribs) comments that IMBD should not be discounted because it is used in other article's cast sections. This is not a cast section, and see WP:OTHERSTUFF. _Blake ^{(Talk·Edits)} 22:36, 20 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Agree. Wikipedia is unreliable. Just look at WP:RS, it clearly says open wikis (including this one) are not reliable sources. Axem Titanium (talk) 22:42, 20 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Once again the information was added by the same user Jienum (talk · contribs) just mentioning other Kingdom Hearts pages. As I reverted it, an anon added with a strange edit summary.Tintor2 (talk) 19:21, 3 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Similar editing pattern. Smells like a sock. Axem Titanium (talk) 04:04, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Edit war

Alright, I'm hatting this off-topic discussion. Please focus on the editorial content of the article and stop making comments about each other per WP:NPA. No more edit warring either, discuss on the talk page instead. Dreadstar ☥ 05:08, 8 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.

All right. This is really getting out of hand. DisneyGirlovestacos95 (talk · contribs) has been edit warring over the use of WP:MOS-BOLD in Kingdom Hearts II and the Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep. Also, he has been overlinking as well. I am taking the WP:BRD route and open a discussion whether we should use bold format for the references and remove the overlinking on the page. Thanks, Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 03:05, 8 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

HEY I SAID I STOP DOING IT AND QUIT SAYING I"M THE BAD GUY, YOU JERK. AND I WANT THIS BULLETIN TAKEN DOWN NOW!!!!!! DisneyGirlovestacos95 (talk) 03:25, 8 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please be civil and stay cool when the editing gets hot. Also, please comment on content, not contributors. Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 03:30, 8 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am calm, what I don't like from you is just your darn rules saying that everthing must have a source this everyting must have that your decison of false accusing me I"m revert someone edit which is actually changing it by hand. besides I'm not going to deal with some biased person who keeps on telling me I do Bad things and setting me up because I learn from my mistakes and I won't do these foolish things I do every again Capiche, Comprendo. DisneyGirlovestacos95 (talk) 04:31, 8 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not erase other posts, thanks. SG²⁰⁹⁰ 04:36, 8 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Also, beware of the boomerang. Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 04:40, 8 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You know what I want for you to do just go focus on your important stuff that you like and are a matter to you rather than the things I'm personally like to do that is my better way capiche and you wanna know a secret stop saying I do bad things I'm a good editor, make mistakes, learn from them and move on.

Discussion page

Please use this page for discussing the editorial content of the article per WP:TALK. If there's a dispute, please follow the Wikipedia:Dispute resolution process instead of edit warring or making comments about other editors . Dreadstar ☥ 05:08, 8 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've also protected the article due to the ongoing edit warring. Dreadstar ☥ 05:11, 8 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Now, since we don't want any further edit warring, let's discuss what is going on here. Per Wikipedia:MOSBOLD#Boldface, we should use boldface for certain issues, such as the title in the lead section. However, the recent edits provided here and here contravene the relevant Manual of Style. I am also concerned that these edits may be overlinking as well. Any thoughts? Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 05:21, 8 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've tried talking with the user last night mentioning most of the same things but DisneyGirlovestacos95 deleted my comment. However, the user did not reply and continued doing those edits here and in related Kingdom Hearts articles like Dream Drop Distance, and Kingdom Hearts II.Tintor2 (talk) 12:45, 8 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Open World?

What is the consensus as to whether Birth By Sleep is an open world game or not?

Sources that state it is: https://www.psu.com/reviews/kingdom-hearts-birth-by-sleep-review/ Dohvahkiin (talk) 17:37, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I think that source counts are reliable but I have nothing to add. I mean, I did play previous Kingdom Hearts games but I have no knowledge about Birth By Sleep's mechanics.Tintor2 (talk) 19:32, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Any consensus for this?NickWX28 (talk) 04:47, 13 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
