Talk:Ar tonelico: Melody of Elemia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
...Ok, I'll state things outright here: We really need to fix up this page. My cleanup just cleaned up The "World" section, which quite frankly, I suspect is too long and needs to be cleaned of extra stuff. The character information section can't decide whether it's for the Japanese version or the English version, there's at least one character that doesn't even appear in the game as far as I know in the character pages... If we're going to give it a wikipedia article, we ought to do it right. Personally, I'd like to see more information on the game mechanics on here, as they do a lot of fun stuff you don't see anywhere else, which isn't even mentioned in the article. I can't be the only one working here. -- Wakuseino 05:07, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
- Since the english version of the game also contains the Japanese character voices, I think it's reasonable to have both the English and Japanese voice actor information. Other than that, what else would be considered "can't decide whether it's for the Japanese version or the English version"? 71.32.168.69 19:40, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] I'd help....
but I don't have the game. When I get it, I'll play through as fast as I can and try to fix it up. But that's not for at least two weeks so I don't know...
[edit] Getting things together!
Ok, I'm going to try and start things up a little by giving us a general idea as to what we should be doing here. I'm primarily using Chrono Cross for an example as to how we should have the style set up in the long run, though there'll probably be a fair bit of alteration until then.
So far, I'd say our first priority is to get a Gameplay section together. For the Gameplay section, we'll likely need to cover the following:
- "Limited Encounters"
- Battle System, most likely with a focus on Harmonics and Song Magic.
- Cosmospheres/Crafting Song Magic
There are likely other aspects that I missed, but I believe those are the most important ones. Once we've got that together, we should probably start tackling the "Characters" section, as that's what needs the most cleanup at this point - in particular,we'll want to remove the information on the less important characters, such as Mei Mei, Lyra, and Luke. We don't need or want every single character in the game for the article, just the significant ones.
Once we've got that handled, we'll probably want to see if we can get any information on Ar tonelico -arpeggio-, as we mention it in the first line of the article, but never mention it after that.
...That's probably enough for the short term, I think. Also, of course, this is just my take on how to get the article cleaned up, if anyone else thinks we should prioritize things a bit differently, please speak up. -- Wakuseino 03:34, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
I've done an in-depth analysis of the Reyvateil's personalities by diving their Cosmospheres in the game, and will work on expanding their profiles. Zhane Masaki
I added some parts of the battle system, including harmonics and song magic, and rearranged stuff a bit. I've only played the Japanese version and it's been some time, so please counter-check everything I edit in. We really need a story synopsis. Also I'd like to revert that Misha <-> Orica position switch, as Misha is certainly not the main Reyvateil (the editor probably only played her storyarc), and Lyner meets Orica first. I'll try to get the Cosmosphere part done tomorrow -- Suikun 15:16, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Characters
I couldn't help but notice how rediculously long the 'Characters' section is. If it is going to be that long, perhaps it should be expanded and split into its own article? --Captain Cornflake 17:46, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
