| == Hey, Got Some News == | | ==Sourcing== |
| Hey Procyon, it's been a bit since we last spoke. After all the hours I put into Tower of Druaga I finally decided to make my first Youtube video about the "Darkness Tower" and soon "Another Tower" since there were literally no videos on them whatsoever (and as far as I can tell only one based on the original arcade game). I thought you might want to check it out since it was your guide that got me to the point where I could make the video. I gave you credit for the guide as I included a miniature version of it so people knew what I was doing in each part. I only posted it yesterday. Was my first time using the camcorder so I didn't know about the auto brightness adjust or the slant despite it sitting flat, but my "Another Tower" video will have those fixed. The link is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlIpo8kkKOI and thanks again for all your hard work on this game. --[[User:PrinceGilgamesh|PrinceGilgamesh]] 08:15, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

| | :Hi {{user|Trig Jegman}}. Yeah, I captured a lot of those images personally, especially the single screen games like Combat, Bubble Bobble, Lode Runner, and Chack'n Pop. Other games like Castle Excellent and Athena were done so long ago, I'm not sure I'd be able to locate them again if I tried. I have a tendency to add markup to them in the process of making them consumable for a walkthrough. I know this isn't the most satisfactory answer, but it's the best I have right now. If I somehow conjure up the source for some of the other images, I'll let you know. But I'm more likely to stumble across them accidentally than intentionally.

| == RE: Edit Summaries == | | == Thanks for the Thanks == |
| Hey Procyon, its PrinceGilgamesh. My apologies, I'm still new to using wiki and didn't know it was more appreciated to give more extensive information. I've just been playing this game for quite a bit now and wanted to update things for future users. I see from the talk below that you were the one who probably made up most of that guide? If so, I wasn't trying to offend you in any way. If I can change the summary information I will gladly add more info.

| | Hey Procyon, |
|
| |
|
| == Additions ==
| | No problem! After I finish the RSE guide, I'm going to apply the new templates me and Prod made to the FRLG pages too - Hopefully, it'll decrease the file size for them. Then I'll probably check out the other Pokémon guides to see what they're like, and maybe go onto a different franchise. [[User:Pakuchi|Pakuchi -- ''Someone! Anyone! Respond!'']] 13:54, 1 February 2022 (UTC) |
| Hey Procyon, ReyVGM here. I've emailed you before about Tower of Druaga information but you never replied. I guess you must have changed emails.
| |
| I'll just drop the info here then for future reference: | |
|
| |
|
| I played the Sharp X1 and MSX ports of Tower of Druaga and the solutions are NOT the same for those games. The first few levels work the same, but not the advanced ones. | | ==I need some guidance== |
| The MSX version also appears to have a new enemy type according to a Japanese page I found.
| | Hi Procyon! Um, honestly I am kind of embarrassed on pinging you about this considering that you are the head of StrategyWiki, but the thing is, I want to ask for guidance from you regarding about some of my guides because recently I have been thinking of something, I want to know what you think and what will be your advice to me regarding about this, this will be somewhat long so I hope you have time to read, also thank you very much for writing on my Talk page along with Prod, so here it is, I've been thinking of this for quite a while now. |
|
| |
|
| I also have something for the Famicom/MSX2 Ganbare Goemon! Karakuri Dōchū. On your guide you group them both together, but the MSX2 version actually has a ton more levels that the Famicom version doesn't. | | You see, I have these 2 games named Astrobatics and Alien Sky that I made a Stage 2 guide from, and what bothers me is that no matter how much I think of how to improve the guides for these 2 (I can still improve them, in fact 2 more overhauls each but it is not that significant anymore) I can't really think of what more I can provide for these 2 games to make the guides for them Stage 3 eligible, the issue I am thinking about is its levels, or missions as what the games refer, it is some sort of a real time mission |
| You see, on the Fami version, when you beat the game, you go to a new province/district of Japan (8 in all), but all the levels remain the same. You still get a different ending per district though.
| |
| Now, on the MSX2 version, when you finish the game, you go to the next district/province (7 in all), but the levels are completely different. There are actually 48 original levels in all. You get a different ending per province too.

|
| == Reason to remove compilation versions for games? ==
| | The problem with these missions is that they really can't be described anymore with text + picture, while these games have predictable pacing as what I mentioned in its Walkthrough page, this is a roadblock that I feel like its unnecessary to break through |
| I think its helpful to know about all the versions, and | |
| systems. Since there are differences between them. IE. Ms. Pac-Man

| == About the <s>enchanted</s> enhanced sprites ==
| | Explaining these missions "down to the bone" as in referring to where would enemies come in, come out, and all that, just feels like unnecessary information and nobody would basically read it, a good example of a game just like this is '''Sky Force Reloaded''', a game I have also nearly mastered a few months ago, I even have my runs in this game uploaded in my YouTube account and I can provide a sample, and just like these 2 games, Sky Force Reloaded also has the same kind of level, basically real time, it has predictable pacing but the levels are way too complex to be torn apart into text + picture form, if you want to recognize the levels of this game you would rather want to just do a trial and error, train your mind memory and muscle memory until you recognize where will enemies appear since enemy positions and appearances don't change, only drops do. |
|
| |
|
| Hello there. I wanted to ask you something. About the enchanted sprites used in some of the articles, (such as for the [[Pac-Man]] article) How do you create them?
| | I have been thinking just now that what if the guides for Astrobatics and Alien Sky are already Stage 3 eligible at this point? I will still have to improve them but I believe once I did, they should be at least Stage 3 eligible, but I am afraid that some people may attempt to dispute its ranking and say that it may miss an information, which is also a big problem on my part because I cannot look for someone who has played these 2 games, finished it completely, and then decide to pay my guide a visit and judge it |

| == Hey ==
| | Assuming that you gave me a go signal to make these guides Stage 3 eligible, I will take that into mind and once I have finally provided 2 more major overhauls I will upgrade it to Stage 3, then, if I was able to find someone who can read these guides and tell me how it is, if it came out as having a really good review saying that it is comprehensive enough, then I will upgrade it to Stage 4 but this is a process that I won't be able to do in just days unless if I am lucky enough to find one quick. |

I thank you for taking the time to respond to my queries, and I truly respect and appreciate everything you guys do here on this wiki (despite what my desires for it were).

| Sorry about the confusion over the items. I was working on a device with a smaller screen at the time, and all I saw was where someone before me had (rather badly) wrote an "Items" paragraph. I was simply trying to fix this paragraph up, and did not see the better-written table. I thought it was rather odd that there were no links to pictures, but I see now what happened. Thank you from pointing this out and from saving StrategyWiki users from some confusion.--[[User:Mnm3808|Mnm3808]] 17:16, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

| : Ugh, that is... that is just ugly... I'm not sure to be honest with you, the whole thing could stand to be touched up. The new game definitely is a combo of FotNS and DW. So I really don't know how to classify it. Frankly, that whole template is hardly divided up well, so if you just threw it on at the end of the first list, I don't think anyone would care or complain. Probably the break down on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Fist_of_the_North_Star_video_games Wikipedia] would be the best way to reorganize the template.

First thing I went and watched a speed run to see what I was getting into, next check for guides if I would even need one. Ding Ding Ding, none anywhere so I decided I'd finally give a guide a whirl and this seemed like the best place so here I am. I will probably make a guide for every Famicom game I get that doesn't have one here as time permits. Hopefully I'll learn the ropes soon enough so as not to break any faux pas that might roam around here 'u'

Get real: all the websites like StrategyWiki are just for fun, and I'm enjoying what I'm doing. I'm far more active on Wikia, but there are too many Pokemon-Wikias, and ended up choosing StartegyWiki more or less by chance.

| ::: By the way, my position is that there is a mistranslation in the Pokémon videogames: what they call "evolution" is just "growth" from young to adult, and what they call "species" are just "life stages". "Evolution" takes places from parents to children, not within the same individual. Also, less than 10% of them are supernatural creatures, the other ones being animals and plants (and artifacts) that can be easily classified according to Lynnaeus, who lived before Darwin and the Theory of Evolution. Therefore, I'm demostrating the bigots' criticism is pointless.

| |
| | |
| Yes, I agree with you: articles (the, a, an), conjunctions (e.g.: and, or, thus) and prepositions (e.g.: of, to, from, by, in, with) are not capitalized unless they are the first word of a title. And I understood Notmyhandle's point too: section headers, unlike video game titles, have to be written with just the first letter capitalized. If that's the standard here, I don't object, I just wanted to be sure. --[[User:Abacos|Abacos]] ([[User talk:Abacos|talk]]) 21:03, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

| == Spell classification ==
| |
| | |
| I saw your edit of the spell classification in the Dragon Quest pages. I definitely like "exploration" instead of "travel", and also "exploration+combat" instead of "healing", but on the other hand I think that two categories only is an oversimplification. In particular, I disagree with merging debuff and attack spells in the same category.
| |
| | |
| With {{User:Notmyhandle/Sig}} we agreed on five categories (although I initially proposed four only), and such categories can be applied to every role-playing video game, and allow not to have any exception or "miscellaneous" spell.
| |
| | |
| Actually, I'm searching for a standardization of the mechanics of role-playing video games. The five spell categories and the Character Class Triangle (see a few on my user page) are two examples of this. My philosophy is that once a general mechanics system of the RPVGs will be found, the player will be able to fully enjoy the story told by the video game without necessity to re-learn the mechanics at the beginning of every video game.
| |
| | |
| Said this, the same definitions of five categories can always be applied, even to RPVGs that have less (e.g. Mega Man Battle Network 1 lacks "Healing" and "Exploration", i.e. all the "chips" are battle "spells"), therefore giving a standard to the beginner. For example, if you clear Final Fantasy 2, then start Dragon Quest 1 for the first time, all the spells do have different names, but if the spell lists on the respective StrategiWiki pages use the same identical classification, then this is really helpful. --[[User:Abacos|Abacos]] ([[User talk:Abacos|talk]]) 18:25, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| P.S.: You probably realized that I always wrote "one target" small and "All targets" capitalized on purpose. By the way, it's ok to have them all capitalized.
| |
| | |
| : By the way, are there some pictures by Akira Toriyama for the spells of Dragon Quest 4 too? I simply recycled those from Dragon Quest 3, since the two video games have the same spells (only one is different). --[[User:Abacos|Abacos]] ([[User talk:Abacos|talk]]) 18:32, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

| | |
| ::Having played a bunch of MMOs, I'm a big fan of buff/debuff being separate. Exploration/Travel is fine. However, I would be happier with separate columns for "Can be used during battle" and "Can be used outside of battle." Classifying the spells as types isn't that important. Also, we can't redefine buff/debuff. In the description for the spell it should just say something like, "A buff that applies a <effect> for <duration>." For target, we can be more accurate and say "All allies", "One ally", "One enemy", or "All enemies" to be more specific. Non-combat travel spells aren't really applied to individuals; perhaps the target should be "Group", although "All allies" is, technically the same thing... Oh the joys of nuances. --{{User:Notmyhandle/Sig}} 20:00, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

I also like to try and break up the dry subject matter with the occasional minor gag, about green police states shooting litter bugs or what have you, I hope thats acceptable. I'll try to break it into bits that will fit the various catagories - Im thinking I should label any additions I make with a note pointing out these are tactics and ideas Ive developed for militant games to combat the specific dangers found therein and are not always needed on more civilized worlds! - Thanks for the help and patience...

I was looking at [[Kyūkai Dōchūki]] and was wondering if we should use the Kyuukai Doochuuki (or Douchuuki) as the name to avoid using non ascii characters in the title.

| Hi Proc, I hope you have time for this nuance. If ディープダンジョンIII 勇士への旅 literally translates as "Deep Dungeon III: The Journey to the Hero" why not use that as the title rather than the romanization? Also, if sticking with the romanization, why capitalize Yuushi (warrior/hero) and Tabi (journey)? Neither are proper nouns. --{{User:Notmyhandle/Sig}} 23:45, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

| :Hi NMH, no problem, thanks for bringing this up. To answer the first question, I'm using the romanization because that's the name that the game was actually published as. Since no actual game with the title "Deep Dungeon III: The Journey to the Hero" was ever published, it wouldn't be proper to title the article with that name. That applies to any game that was only released in Japan, and nowhere else. As for the capitalization, just as you didn't capitalize "to" and "the" in the English title, people don't capitalize "he" and "no" in Japanese. Basically, I took the title exactly as it was provided on the [[wp:Deep Dungeon]] page. However, I'm seeing more evidence that I should concatenate "he" and "no" into one word.
