[edit] Resources

A small bit of Google searching brought up a couple sites that could help in the production of this article:

  • FFL Shrine - mostly Wikibooks-esque material (statistics and the like), but there's bound to be something in there.
  • FAQs via Gamespot - a collection of Walkthrus and FAQs; most have things like plot details, character classes, major in-game areas; those are the kinds of things to shoot for, no?

Eh, that's actually all I can find for now. Adios. -- gakon5 (talk)

[edit] Infamy

Isn't this the game where you fight God at the end and kill Him with one blow from a chainsaw? 142.161.204.198 19:51, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

Yes, unless you used the chainsaw on a different enemy. It's only good for one use, and after that it breaks. You can still defeat the Creator without the chainsaw, but that's a lot tougher. 65.41.184.195 23:09, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

What's interesting is that the Japanese version refers to him / her as "kami," which literally means god. However, the North American translation localized the enemy as simply "Creator." It's funny how Western localizations tend to be subjected to "Judeo-Christian filtration." Grendel 13:27, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A few minor edits

I just corrected two things in the article, I edited out the "Humans are the strongest class" simply because that's debateable and not very neutral.

Also the section that lists potions for Humans to use listed Mana-increasing ones, which don't exist in this game. slimequest 02:53, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

I clarified the effect of potions on Human classes, although I'm still concerned it's unclear how the Hit Point Potions work. I also deleted an unnecessary external link to Moby Games--the link had no further information on the game and seemed to be mainly a commercial link. Gorjus 19:22, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Hit point potions give you either 1-20 or 1 hit point(s) depending on your max hit points prior to imbibing the potion. For instance, a character with 200 or fewer hit points who imbibes an HP200 will recieve 1-20 hp, wheras if a character with 203 hit points imbibed an HP200, they would only be raised to 204 hit points. There is no upper limit to hit points, but the highest potion in the game is HP600. Once your characters have 601+ hit points, it is more economical to buy HP200s in bulk.

[edit] Translations

I thought it wouldn't hurt to add a small translation of the Japanese title, since there are major differences between it and the North American release title. However, I'm just curious about what others think, because the title is hard to interpret in the first place, as it seems like it can go many directions. I simply went with "SaGa of the Demon Tower" because it seemed to reflect the game with the most accuracy. Now, however, I'm having second thoughts. Maybe something like, "SaGa: The Celestial Tower" would make more sense. Does anyone have any thoughts about this? Grendel 00:09, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

I actually changed it to what I thought would be a litte better before seeing your note. My study of the language is far from complete, so if you object let me know.Onikage725 11:18, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
Looks even better. Good job! 68.209.235.149 00:32, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

I took a poetic license with the current translation, if no one minds. I think "Heroes of the Infernal Tower" may be a more accurate way to transliterate according to cultural differences. Feel free to change it back, however. 74.242.104.247 (talk) 22:48, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:SaGa1WSCBox.jpg

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.
