Thanks, DW. Since I usually only play Dizzy (and sometimes Bridget or Millia), I don't get quite as good a feel for details like antiair and stuff. Me, I'm a story kinda guy. Yar Kramer 21:09, 14 May 2005 (UTC)

I-no uses a 6-string electric guitar. It's not a bass. RTL 16 May 2005

Ah, see, that's the kinda stuff "edit this page" is for. ;) Yar Kramer 16:13, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

I know, but I thought it was "your" article. Then again, this *is* Wikipedia, so that was unnecessary. Thanks for the correction, though. RTL 22 May 2005 (GMT)

How does I-No have a vendetta against Dizzy? I thought she just got her jollies abusing Dizzy. RTL 02:31, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

Uh. I just didn't know how else to put "She also seems to get her jollies abusing Dizzy" in an acceptible-to-Wikipedia fashion. --Yar Kramer 03:46, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Side Black's "alternate future"

Should I explain this in the story section? I guess it'd be significant enough to warrant a sh section here ... as well, er, as in Dizzy's article.

I think that, if you want to talk about GGXX Side Black, then you should make a new article for it. RTL 16 May 2005 (GMT)

As well ... I'm curious as to whether the I-No in GGXX is the I-No who time-travelled, or the I-No from the "natural" timeline ... and either way, what happened to the other one.

Well, maybe I'm missing something here, but I'm pretty sure there's only one I-no. I don't see any implications for why there would be more than 2. RTL 16 May 2005 (GMT)

Well, look at it this way:

• I-No pretends to be helpless in the battle of Rome.
• Ky dies.
• Ten years later, Dizzy's taken up arms after Justice is dead.
• I-No meets That Man and tells him she can change things.
• I-No travels back in time and prevents Ky from dying.

I don't know if she did so by, like, going back in "spirit" and "posessing" her past self, but I'm not sure that's what it meant by time travvel, but yeah. Yar Kramer 16:13, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, time travel is decidedly undefined in this game, so for now I think it's safe/best to assume there's only one I-no. (Occam's razor and all that.) RTL 22 May 2005 (GMT)

Considering I-No "officially joins" that man following their meeting in the alternate timeline it obviously makes more sense for that I-No to be the one in GGXX. I've never watched Side Black and probably will never get a chance to (all the information I've gathered is from GameFAQs) so I don't know of any personality differences between I-No in Side Black and I-No in GGXX that could showcase them as two different incarnations. A "turned good" I-No separate from the GGXX one saving Ky does make more sense (and would make an interesting extra character ala Holy Order Sol), but AFAIK that's not the case.

[edit] Megalomania

The article refers to "Megalomania" as an overdrive, but I don't think that's strictly accurate; apart from anything else, it doesn't take up any Tension unless she FRC's it. (I have no idea where, but I recall it being compared to a Burst somewhere ...) --Yar Kramer 02:54, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] X-Japan

While one repeated passage of I-No's theme, Midnight Carnival, clearly references the X-Japan song Kurenai, it's inaccurate to refer to it as a "version" of Kurenai as it is otherwise an original piece. It's also incorrect to call it a "guitar only" version, as the performance is for a full band, with bass, drums, keyboards and multiple guitar parts. I suggest re-writing this line to read something more like "Her boss theme Midnight Carnival contains clear musical references to the song "Kurenai" by the J-rock band, X-Japan."

Works for me. --Yar Kramer 16:49, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] possible masochist?

Throughout the game, either in taunts, win quotes, story mode, and the fact that she is described as "deriving pleasure from tormenting Dizzy" I-no seems to constantly gain pleasure through fighting or pain. Boss I-no's winning quotes highly remark this. There is also the possibility of her not being a masochist, but a saddistic. As shown when she shows on a helpless village being attacked by gears —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 200.55.110.191 (talk) 17:37, 4 April 2007 (UTC).
