[edit] Judgment Ring

I was thinking about creating a seperate article for the Judgement Ring which would include information from all three games as well as information regarding the Ring Spirits from Covenant and FTNW. What does everyone think?

Can someone go through this article for grammar? I am really bad at editing so help from others would be appreciated. Waymond Tang 19:49, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

I don't think a separate article is necessary at this point in light of the fact that Shadow Hearts only has 3 installments. Remember to try to keep the information in as few places as possible as a courtesy to the readers so I appreciate you not creating articles for each of the characters.

I agree with what you said so I won't be making a new article for these things. I appreciate the response. Waymond Tang 04:49, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia

A number of players, including myself, have discovered some missing items in the North American and PAL format of the game compared to the Japanese format. This includes a weapon for Keith as well as an item that cures both HP and MP in the 'Tea of the X' family. I was going to add it but didn't know how to source it since it was never announced officially (not a lot of people would notice unless they played both versions or used cheats). Should I just include it without reference? Waymond Tang 20:16, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Well, is it really vital to the game? See WP:TRIVIA and WP:TRIV for some guidelines as to what kind of trivia is notable enough to mention in an article. Axem Titanium 22:27, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merging Alice Elliot page

I'm not too sure about merging the Alice Elliot page with the main article (Shadow Hearts). My reasoning is that the Alice/Keith article contains information which users/players would like to know (images, age, special attacks, featured games etc.) which would be difficult and messy to place in the main Shadow Hearts Article.

Saying that though, we could perhaps move the characters section in the SH article and link it to a new page (List of characters in Shadow Hearts, for example) with the sufficient level of detail found in both articles (the SH and Alice pages for example) on the characters who feature in the game and perhaps get rid of the Alice and Keith articles altogether if the information was transferred to a new full single page.

Another reason for doing this is that certain games have huge amount of details/pages dedicated to a character and their exploits (Final Fantasy VII>Cloud or Aeris for example). I feel that a few lines dedicated to only the basics of the characters who feature in Shadow Hearts is not doing the game, or the characters, any justice.

Views?

If there's one thing I don't like about the Final Fantasy articles, it's the fact that every character gets his own article. This is not something we should imitate. A character list is good but try to keep trivia out of it since it's hard to source. Axem Titanium 00:36, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

I support the idea of merging the seperate character articles into a 'List of' article. That way the information isn't all over the place. Another thing to note is the fact that these characters don't have as much information released from the designers compared to Final Fantasy characters. So these character articles would be merely stubs. Another thing I was thinking of was something written about the relationships between all the characters. That would be a good way of adding more content to this article on the characters. What's your opinions on that? Waymond Tang 11:07, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fixing References

I've been away for a while but I am back and I noticed some errors with the references I made so I will be editing these after I plan out what I am doing next. I will probably look into it by the end of the week so anyone can edit them right now if they want. Waymond Tang 10:49, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
