[edit] External Links

What exactly is acceptable policy on one link leading to a listing of external fansites?--WhiteMateria 22:37, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Latin

I made a little edit here the other day and I think someone got a little confused and said that "Fubula Nova Crystallum" would be "the new tale of the crystal". I just changed "crystallus" to "crytallum" as the Latin for "crystal" because the word is neuter; but the genetive form remains the same, so "fabula nova crystalli" is the correct Latin for "the new tale of the crystal".--Corbmobile

[edit] Haeresis

Has this: A title called Final Fantasy Haeresis XIII, for example, was filed for trademark status on May 1, 2006.[3] been taken off because it is considered speculation?

Well, Haeresis isn't speculation but there's really nothing that can be said about it pertaining to the compilation other than the fact that its been filed as a trademark...--Claude 01:15, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

The following comment in the article is uncited: "A 'logo' for Haeresis, done by Yoshitaka Amano, the image illustrator and title logo designer for Fabula Nova Crystallis, has now been published, although no additional artwork pertaining to the title has been officially released as of yet."

Can anyone show any evidence of this? I haven't heard anything about it personally. Dfsghjkgfhdg (talk) 17:09, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

I think I remember seeing it once, but it was just the words "Final Fantasy Haeresis XIII". There wasn't any Amano artwork on it or anything similar.—Loveはドコ? (talkcontribs) 20:56, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fansite link

I've added my fansite to the external links section.

Please note, before editing, that my site is non-profit and contains genuine and valid media/information with regards to the fabula nova crystallis project.

Joey

I understand where you're coming from but even though your site is non-profit, the content on it can easily be on hundreds of other sites (even if they copied it directly from yours). If you'd like, it would be more helpful to edit the article and add information there, rather than simply adding your link, for the time being. Axem Titanium 15:50, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Wiki's policy states one external fansite link can be used. I've complied with this.

If you have any information from a good source, with regards to any character names in any of the fabula-nova-crystallis project, do post them here !

The fansite that was in the links is now "unavailable" according to the graphic on its front page, therefore there is now a slot for a replacement entry. Suggestions? SynergyBlades 18:22, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
I think it may be bad form to "invite" more fansites. They will come, whether we like it or not. Axem Titanium 21:54, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
Should we add some good ones before a stereotype wannabe comes?--GHenrik 21:54, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
The 3 dedicated best ones are FinalFantasy-XIII.net, FF-XIII.net and FinalFantasy13.org. All of them?--GHenrik 22:00, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Template

Has anybody else noticed that the Final Fantasy XIII games aren't on the template anymore? I'm sure I'm not alone when I say that it's somewhat irritating to have to type in the game name to go to the page. Or what's even worse is when I just click on the furthest for Final Fantasy XIII and it takes me to Final Fantasy XII —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.120.57.145 (talkcontribs) There is consensus not to include unreleased games on navigation templates. Go to WP:CVG and talk to them if you disagree. Axem Titanium 04:19, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Well that's stupid, it just wastes peoples time to have to type out everything. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.174.128.249 (talkcontribs)
Well, then don't complain here. Axem Titanium 03:09, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dissidia

Please do not add Dissidia to the article. A trademarked was filed for the sole name of "Dissidia", the logo of which contained no similarity to the usual Final Fantasy font. A group of hopeful sites decided it was "Final Fantasy Dissidia XIII", and soon it was reported as fact. Fortunately, reliable sites did not take hold of it, and a representative of Square Enix stated it had nothing to do with the Final Fantasy XIII series. --Teggles 07:02, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Can we have some reliable sources for that? Verifiability, not truth. — Bluerです。 なにか? 08:00, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
I couldn't find the page with the SE representative denying it, but this is the trademark in question. As you will see, NO reference to Final Fantasy is made. Pure speculation. --Teggles 09:46, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
Sorry, the link does not work. Most of us would believe you, but your claims are still arguable. — Bluerです。 なにか? 13:39, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
Square Enix has never confirmed officially that Dissidia was related to FFXIII. For that reason, Dissidia did not have to be added to the article, although Square had not denied it. Square Enix trademarked Dissidia, not Final Fantasy Dissidia XIII. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.45.57.13 (talk) 16:47, 29 April 2007 (UTC).
Go here, click "Trademarks", then click "Search Trademarks". On this new page, click "New User Form Search (Basic)". Now search for "Dissidia". --Teggles 19:27, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
I see now. Thank you :). — Bluerです。 なにか? 12:22, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
Why was this even disputed? The FACT was that it had nothing to do with FFXIII. As obvious by the trademark, FF has nothing to do with it. You can't take Dissidia, slap more words onto it, then pretend like it's "still arguable" when there was no proof to begin with--Claude 00:51, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
Relax, you. It's already done with. Maintain your good faith. Some people need to keep their tempers low, really. Bluerです 03:36, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Melody?

This link (http://n4g.com/events_tgs2007/News-67904.aspx) has voiced a rumour of (yet) another FF game for the [i]Cystallis[/i] series. The only 'proof' that this game exists is represented by this image (http://www.freep.cn/p.aspx?u=v20__p_0709151113229960_0.jpg). This rumour will only be confirmed at TGS, possibly. --81.157.137.161 16:19, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Fabula logo.jpg

Image:Fabula logo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Out of date?

Some things mentioned in here need to be updated to reflect the individual articles on each game. In particular this page mentions that FFXIII will be a turn-based RPG which is clearly not true. --Vylen (talk) 15:16, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Square Enix diagram showing six titles

On finalfantasy-xiii.net they show a diagram called "Unannounced Titles" that was shown at a Square Enix board meeting. The diagram lists six titles/circles in the Fabula Nova Crystallis Final Fantasy XIII series. Three circles are for the three announced titles. The only thing we know about the 3 unannounced titles is the size of their circles, which I believe shows the scope/grandeur of those projects. Maybe the bigger title/circle is Final Fantasy Haeresis XIII. I wonder if this is the mmorpg Rapture project that is being worked on by the Final Fantasy XI team. I don't want too much speculation on the main article, but I think it should be shown that Square Enix has partially and unofficially declared six titles with this diagram. What should we update on the article? :-) Dragonblades (talk) 01:45, 27 May 2008 (UTC)—Preceding unsigned comment added by Dragonblades (talkcontribs) 18:43, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Nothing, because it's neither official nor are there any reliable sources. SynergyBlades (talk) 00:53, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
Yoshi Wada has already stated that this project could go as far as being active for a whole decade, so this already implies there will be more titles than the ones already announced. Their number is unknown though; the diagram was just an example used for explanation of the concept. Kariteh (talk) 07:44, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
Thanks! I thought this image showed that three unannounced titles in the Fabula Nova Crystallis series were being developed, and that the image showed their relative importances. Are you sure that those three bubbles are just illustrating the concept and not showing that Square Enix in the board meeting was saying, "Yea there are three more unannounced titles in development, of these importances, but we'll announce them later"? I'm pretty excited, but where did this image come from in the first place, who put it online and when did this board meeting take place? Dragonblades (talk) 11:15, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
