For past messages, see here, here,here and here Thanks --Otherarrow 15:20, March 20, 2010 (UTC)

For messages left here on this talk page, I will respond on this talk page. It gets confusing and tiresome having to jump from talk page to talk page to read a conversation or add a comment.--Otherarrow 20:39, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

You seem to have a better grasp of the charstat template than me.
could you create a template just like the plain one we have now, but with 'str/mag' changed to 'str' and a 'mag' row insterted underneath. I can then use this for all the FE4/FE5 characters where str/mag just doesn't look good because there are two numbers.

-- Semaj draehs - any replies to my Talk page  13:32, March 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * I want to do one better, but I have a question. Should this be for both games, or just one? The reason I ask is because FE5 has Constitution (AKA Build), while FE4 doesn't.--Otherarrow 14:07, March 20, 2010 (UTC)

Well personally, I only wanted this slight alteration so I can make the changes quickly (it should only take me a few seconds to make the change to each page), but I guess we'll have to get the total change done eventually anyway. So i'd say two seperate templates one for FE4 and one for FE5.

P.S you may want to archive your talk page your up to over 90 topics.

-- Semaj draehs - any replies to my Talk page  14:15, March 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * FE4 template done. I will try to put this one in before I work on the FE5 one.--Otherarrow 15:20, March 20, 2010 (UTC)

How do you access the templates, and something is missing.
Hi. Just curious, how do you access the templates to edit them? I can't seem to find any of them... The template I am trying to access is the FE4 one by the way.

Also, Voltz, an enemy character from Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu, is not in the template, but he has a character page.

Thanks in advance!

PS. How do you change the signiture to bring up the talk page icon like you have it? I thought I did that already, but it has been a while.

--'--Charged151 -' 14:09, March 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * See that searchbar? It might be at differing places depending on your skin. Just type in Template:Whatevertemplate and edit from there.--Otherarrow 14:50, March 21, 2010 (UTC)

Special:Preferences is where you need to go to alter your signiture.

Just thought I should let you know
I've edited Forum:TearRing Saga on this wiki to just clarify a couple of things and i've also mentioned the vote to some key members who havn't voted to try and get this sorted once and for all.

For your information
I've set up the plain www.fewiki.net and fewiki.net domains to redirect here. --138.217.156.125 02:01, April 24, 2010 (UTC)

Hello.
Thanks for the welcome. I probably won't be of much help, since I only have Sacred Stones, but I'm good with fixing up grammar.

I edited the Summoner page; I apologize if I got a bit longwinded, in which case I'll try to crop down the information.

Seeya!

~ Zev Raregroove 20:12, April 26, 2010 (UTC)

Hmph.
I tried to give the Class page a makeover...I think my work's result is passable.

Could you give me your opinion? Because I think that, with maybe a picture or two and some stuff that didn't come to my mind, it could have the stub and clean-up notices removed.

Thanks.

Aenir/Nergal
''I never heard that it was a mistranslation of Aenir. Common theory is that he was questioning his need for Quientessance and opening the Dragon's Gate, as the game implies the darkness made him forget''

Have you played the Japanese version? I play both the Japanese and English, and the US translation seems off, since Aegir is Quientessacne in the JP version, and its possible that the translators mut Quientessance instead of Aenir. Aenir sounds simular to Aegir, which can blow people off.
 * Well, I think we need something more concrete than "Well, I think they might have maybe got them mixed up". If someone who knows Japanese can translate the Japanese version of the scene, that would be great.--Otherarrow 20:33, April 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * Muted again here, I do know how to read JP, but... I have no knowledge to use text editors. Its wierd how i can spot that, while the US translators made it very wierd.
 * It's definitely a mistranslation. He clearly says Ae...r in his death quote. Although you can't tell whether it's either Aenir or Aegir in English, you can in Japanese since Aenir's 2nd symbol is an E, while Aegir has a continuation line (-). In Nergal's line, you see an E and not a -, meaning it should be Aenir. Aveyn Knight 20:25, April 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * OK, so it is. Sorry for the doubting, just want to make sure. Thanks, both of you.--Otherarrow 21:17, April 30, 2010 (UTC)

About the Draug page
Hi, I'm trying to add the katakana spellings of character names to their articles, since with all of the alternate spellings running around (especially for the Japan-only games), I think having the original spellings on this site would improve it. However, I found that the Draug / Dohga page is locked to prevent editing. Is it possible that you could add in this information yourself? Sir Ilpalazzo 05:49, May 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok. It is unprotected. It seems the people vandalizing it are gone by now.–Otherarrow 09:44, May 19, 2010 (UTC)

I need to know how to add picture to a page that doesn't have a gallery. Please and thank you!

Male and Female Characters

 * I don't understand what you mean. If I am hearing you correctly, then you are incorrect, as the FFWiki doesn't have those, nor does the Disgaea Wiki, Megami Tensei Wiki, or the Kingdom Hearts Wiki. If you insist on additional categorization, do so by class or something.--Otherarrow 10:52, June 9, 2010 (UTC)

Akaenia Saga
http://fireemblem.wikia.com/wiki/Fire_Emblem:_Akaneia_Saga

check the history of mines and the one below it.

Is this true, or its false?

Hm, So There might be a chance where Malice, Frost, Frey, and the others to become something else?
 * I don't know what you mean. Don't expect Frey (who wasn't in Akaenia Saga) to be in it. It's really implied that he is the canonical sacrifice in Shadow Dragon.--Otherarrow 22:39, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

Featured article
You know, the fact that we only change the featured article once in a blue moon is a shame and I can tell by the many comments on the subject that I'm not the only one who feels that way. I submit either we set specific dates (perhaps the first of the month) when voting time is up and we HAVE to change it or you delegate someone who can take care of it with constancy, using a system of his/her choice. 23:20, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Gallery portraits
Should Hardin get a new Fire Emblem bs gallery picture without the stats? And what about the FE3 bosses, do they need better clearer pictures?

Emperor Hardin 23:29, June 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * The FE3 mugs are fine. If you could get Hardin's BS mug alone, that would be preferable.--Otherarrow 23:32, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

 * Umm....FE3.5 got announced. Someone else has decided to take care of featured articles since it keeps slipping my mind. Can't think of much else.--Otherarrow 14:42, July 3, 2010 (UTC)

Clarification
I just wanted to clarify about the captions portaining to images from the FE TCG.

Ok, here's what I managed to squeeze in the comment box -

TCG 5&6 cover FE3 b1&2 respectively, and she appears differently due to class, but listing it as such isn't accurate due to chars like Shiida having 2 cards in the same set with the same class.

- But here's what I meant to say, since I have enough room here...

Is that in different sets, like Set 5 & 6, characters like Shiida have cards of the same class - as they appear in the same class twice, in Book 1 and Book 2. Then Shiida has another card for when she promotes in Book 2, if she does, but as Maria does not come in as a first tier in Book 2, there's no need to divide it into 'as a cleric' and 'as a bishop' - she simply appears in Book 1 as a cleric and Book 2 as a bishop and in those respecitve sets of the TCG, 5 & 6. --Hasofcd 05:05, July 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Most characters have at least two cards, one for the first class, one for the second class. Some have a third card, for whatever reason, maybe a different set (which would be Book 2 I supposs) and/or different artist, etc. In Maria's case, those two cards are not "Book 1" and "Book 2", that is just a coincidence, but her first class and her second class.
 * EDIT: Palla and the other Whitewings, like Maria, have a single card in the second set each. It is them as Dracoknights (their armor resembles Minerva's, who starts as one.) They do not start in that class in Monsho no Nazo. Shiida has two in that set. Both Dracoknights. She starts as a Pegasus Knight. There are promoted Radd and Caeser in that set, and they didn't make it to "Book 2". Understand?--Otherarrow 12:36, July 4, 2010 (UTC)

Ah, you're right. Got it.--Hasofcd 13:06, July 4, 2010 (UTC)

...Speculation?
So why is speculation allowed on every other page but Maria's? It's just trivia. In Heather's trivia, both of the bullets are speculation - we don't know that it was acutally Heather that conned Gatrice or was supposed to be in Path of Radiance, and Nagi's page is purely built on speculation! Speculation in Shadow Dragon's case is especially needed due to the fact that hardly anything is explained or elaborated upon. And this speculation is harmless, it's just trivia.

That name is highly implied due to that the game is newer than POR & RD with Elincia, she's in the royal family, and she comes from that House. It's just trivia, I'm not saying it's right, but that's what speculation is, and it seems to be allowed everywhere else. Why isn't it allowed here? Hasofcd 18:03, July 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, I'll admit, Heather's is harder to take than most, but it is possible she was inspired that that passing reference, like it is possible that Shanam was inspired by a brief appearance by a Shanan imposter. Nagi is pretty mysterious, and there are some implied explanations for her. There are also theories which other people claim are plausible. I personally think this needs clarification which is right and why the other is incorrect, as a lot of people don't seem to understand, and I am sick of talking about it. As for Maria and House Medon, I would advise against speculating on last names, else we'd get tons of people trying to apply the names of noble houses as the last names of their lords, like Hector Ostia or something like that. Yes, it is true some characters follow that naming pattern (Elincia and Celice come to mind), but just as many don't (Sanaki and Leaf, for example).--Otherarrow 18:24, July 6, 2010 (UTC)

Ah, right. I had forgotten about Sanaki, and now that you mention it, Jill's last name has nothing to do with 'Talrega', either... I understand, thanks. Hasofcd 04:55, July 7, 2010 (UTC)

Caps
What does "Shift makes caps." mean?Do you see merric&#39;s Grr face? &#91;and if i caught a mistake of yours pretend I slapped you.&#93; 20:27, July 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * It means by holding the Shift key, you can make capital letters. Obvious, yes? The entry I edited had lowercase letters at the start of sentences, proper names, and so on.--Otherarrow 21:15, July 9, 2010 (UTC)

Boxes
Can the growth rate box for FE9/10 be used for Shadow Dragon? And do we have any other growth rate boxes for the other games?

Is there another box for base stats that doesn't have a Con place so the Shadow Dragon stats don't look so klunky? Hasofcd 19:28, July 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't see a problem with the 9/10 one being used for Shadow Dragon. As for the Charstat, I think we'd have to go ahead and make one for it....--Otherarrow 21:07, July 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * How do you go about making one? I have tried and thoroughly confused myself. Hasofcd 03:34, August 6, 2010 (UTC)

help!
I'm total n00b here, I just figured out to post a pic that I uploaded, and I was wondering how to REMOVE a template, I don't have a clue, help?
 * You remove the template by removing the template from the screen. But, well, we couldn't use your image. Not that good quality, not a picture of the whole map. See Prologue (Shadow Dragon) for an example.--Otherarrow 22:30, July 15, 2010 (UTC)

Michalis
I read even though he has support data, people who have played the game say he dies like always even having a new near death portrait. Whether or not he's recruitable on the Hardest difficulty or is playable in a downloadable mission is unknown.

Emperor Hardin 00:01, July 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * I figured as much. Him having ending data is rather odd though. Maybe they planned for him to be spared somehow? Oh well. I want to see his new portraits though.--Otherarrow 00:03, July 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * I just heard he is playable in the first mission. Hardin's mission isn't out yet which explains why he has no character data.
 * Emperor Hardin 00:05, July 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh turns it out he is really recruitable, even his scars disappear. I just wish Nintendo included a way to recruit Hardin and Lorenz.

Malice Picture mistake
I'm sorry I accidently saved over the Malice artwork with her portrait, I'm very sorry, I thought the system would rename my picture Malice2.png or something similar.

Dark dragons
Isn't medeus a dark dragon, Tiki's Divinestone is super effective against him in shadow dragon.
 * In Shadow Dragon, Medeus is a Earth Dragon. From what we know of FE3.5, Dark Dragons no long have that weakness. Why, I don't know.--Otherarrow 22:27, July 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Its still somewhat effective on Medeus in the Snes release. Dark Dragon is actually short for Dark Earth Dragon.
 * Emperor Hardin 00:07, July 18, 2010 (UTC)

There are no dark dragons in shadow dragon, and tiki's stone is effective against ALL dragons in Shadow Dragon. Do you see merric's Grr face? [Vote for maria in article of the month] 01:09, July 18, 2010 (UTC)

Book 2 Deaths
To answer your question, Boah, Lorenz and Hardin still die. I found it odd as Nintendo brought back every member of the Sable Knights and Marth was easily able to revive and get rid of the scars of an Imhullu wounded Michalis, yet he doesn't do the same for Lorenz or Hardin.

Emperor Hardin 18:38, July 20, 2010 (UTC)

Radiant Dawn Usability Box
For the box that shows when characters are usable in Radiant Dawn, is there a symbol we could use for showing that the character is an 'Enemy Unit'? I think it would be interesting to list.--Hasofcd 04:00, July 24, 2010 (UTC)

FE12 pics
If all that was changed from FE11 was the color, do we upload that as a different picture entirely or as an updated version of the FE11 pic? Because in truth there is still a difference in the pictures even if it was only the color.

And great job on the charstat boxes! Hasofcd 13:32, August 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * I didn't do the FE11/12 boxes. As for "the only change is the color" then I'd say either don't worry about it or upload over it. However, if you can see any other change between portraits (eyes are a common one) then upload a new one.--Otherarrow 13:37, August 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah. Do you know who did? Anyway, yeah, the change is usually in the eyes or hair, or like something miniscule(like Elice's, how she is centered by like 1 degree more). Here's a good comparison between the pictures.
 * That comparison is good showing of what I mean. Definitely upload the new portraits for the first (new character), second (new portrait), and third (changed portrait), but I'll let you decide if you want to upload the portraits that go under the fourth (which would be color fixing I guess).--Otherarrow 17:23, August 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'd add the third and fourth portraits over the Shadow Dragon ones, personally. I believe we have all the first and second portrait sets up, I think. Kelsper 17:30, August 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * I think all of the 3rd ones should be separate, as there is a small change, but all the 4th ones can be uploaded over the SD ones. --Hasofcd 18:02, August 27, 2010 (UTC)

Duplicate Picture Deletion
Thanks for getting rid of those duplicates for me. Couldn't figure out how to get rid of them. --Aivass Remurias 20:44, August 27, 2010 (UTC)

Tania vs. Tiena
The main heroine in the Hasha manga is named Tiena. From what I gather the word "Tania" is used in two different ways in the Fire Emblem universe. One is a noble house in RnK and FnT. The other is something for something else that I don't know. Thanks for the your help, though! =)

Also, thanks for tagging pages where I should have but didn't. I'm not familiar with all of the tags so sometimes I miss some.

--Aivass Remurias 16:26, August 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * No no. You got it wrong. Her name is Tiena. Her house is Tania. (and the FE5 character is Tanya).--Otherarrow 16:54, August 28, 2010 (UTC)

Nicely put. I appreciate the sincerity. --Aivass Remurias 17:35, August 28, 2010 (UTC)

FE5 templates
Just wondering, would it be all right for me to create charstat and chargrowth templates for Thracia 776? It has some unique stats (Build and Movement) as growth rates, meaning none of the current templates from other series can be used for it.

As for the reason to make a charstat template as well, it's because FE5 stats don't include Resistance (since that's calculated by the Magic stat) even though it has Constitution and a Strength/Magic split, which means not many of the other Charstat templates can be used for it either. Also, I think the default template that's being used right now for FE5 characters isn't that useful for showing all the stats and/or items. Even with a possible remake (which may remove these differences), I still think the SNES version deserves its own templates. Thoughts? --Almanac 17:32, August 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Alright. Go ahead I guess. I ment to do a FE5, but I never got around to it due to my lack of interest in FE5.--Otherarrow 18:52, August 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks! --Almanac 20:35, August 28, 2010 (UTC)

Baron Joshua's Question
I understand that you removed the brief summery that I had provided for Frelia.

Name: Frelia

Full Name: Kingdom of Frelia

Formal: Frelian, Frelians

Government Type: Absolute Monarchy

I was wondering why? I have done the same for Grado, Jehanna, and Carcino. I know it does not have to do with the Formal: Frelian, Frelians since the people of Frelia are refered to as Frelians in the Game.
 * I removed that bit from all those pages because it, in my opinion, served no purpose and was just sorta stuck there at the end of the article for no reason. I'm not sure where you got your info anyway. Do you know for sure that Frelia is absolutely an absolute monarchy?--Otherarrow 23:56, September 3, 2010 (UTC)

I see, and apologize. I thought I had put a ? mark after Absolute Monarchy. As I had done with Formal: Carcinoan?,Carcinoans?. I was not as sure as I was with Carcino's Government Type. Carcino is a Republic of Citys or States or Both (it is not clear). The People elect senators who have to be at least a certian age wich is were the Genocratic part of my discription came from. If you like I could put the Summery at the Start of the Artical instead of the End and add a First Apears: In Chapter # of Fire Emblem: .... Baron Joshua 00:16, September 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * I don't understand what you mean. You don't need to put that sorta thing anywhere? I mean, the article does say what these countries are already, yes?--Otherarrow 00:20, September 4, 2010 (UTC)

You have a good point. I had started doing the summarys only becouse I wonted something to post. I felt I could use my knowlege of Government types and the Game (Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones) to write a summary of the different countries in the. I new more about Carcino then the other counties so I started there. I was even tempted to put "Note: The Merchantile part of Carcino's full name may derrive from the economic theory of Merchantilism. Acording to Merchantilism there is only a certian amount of Wealth in the World and countries should try to get as much of it as posible by Exporting more then they Import...." But I realized that would be usles information. At the Time I only had Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones and felt I should at least do something really good. It seemed like a good idea at the time.

Baron Joshua's Question(s)
I see you have gone into my other edits and revisions, you still have yet to say why.
 * Read my response right above this topic. Seriously. Check before you post.--Otherarrow 00:02, September 4, 2010 (UTC)

Concerning the Triangle Attack Quotes of Seisen no Keifu.
Hi. I have not changed anything for a while, but I noticed a few things about Seisen no Keifu's Triangle Attacks.

1. It looks to me that the leader of the trio of the triangle attacks (Vampa and Meng) are always the ones to initiate the triangle attacks, so I'm not sure if there are even quotes for the other members.

2. This is actually pretty wierd... Meng does not seem to have a special quote for her triangle attack... It is just, "Sorry, but you're gonna die!" That is what she says when she attacks normally. I guess this may have been an oversight issue, and even after disengaging my translation patch, there is no difference in the quote she says.

I was thinking about saying that only the leaders initiate the triangle attacks in the members' pages, as well as have a possible error section in Meng's page (as well as the Fire Emblem Plot Holes, Goofs and Unexplained Events...) but what do you think?

P.S. Did someone delete everything in the Fire Emblem Plot Holes, Goofs and Unexplained Events section earlier? I found it completely blank not too long ago...

--'--Charged151 - any replies to my Talk page  -' 23:39, September 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * What is the error about Meng? Is it the second point? I guess you could just point out that only the trio leader initiates it.--Otherarrow 23:43, September 4, 2010 (UTC)

My point is that Vampa has a special quote for her triangle attack... And everyone else as far as I know. However, Meng's quote is the same regardless of whether she triangle attacks or not. I even took off my translation patch and tested this in the original Japanese, and the same characters were used for both her regular attack and the triangle attack. That seems like an error to me when Vampa (and every other Fire Emblem User to date if I remember correctly) has a special quote. However, if you see no error with this, then it isn't worth mentioning, or if you don't think it is an error, than perhaps it should be mentioned as an "oddity". --'--Charged151 - any replies to my Talk page  -' 23:49, September 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * I think in this case we can just say "Unlike Vampa, the other enemy unit who can initiate a triangle attack, Meng does not have a special battle quote" or something like that. No need for it's own section or anything.--Otherarrow 23:51, September 4, 2010 (UTC)

Alright then, I will add in what is necessary.

New Akaneia Saga / Download Chapters
How do you want the stuff from the New Akaneia Saga / the downloadable chapter listed? I'm voting for something like the Book 1 and Book 2 differences, as it's kinda confusing to have two sets of stats in one place. I'm voting for a new section like: ===Fire Emblem: Shin Monshō no Nazo ~Hikari to Kage no Eiyū~ (New Akaneia Saga)===. --Hasofcd 06:24, September 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, maybe like how we do Book 1/Book 2 for the Monsho no Nazo sections? Have it under Shin Monsho no Nazo/Akaneia Saga (Not sure which) and have bold text serve as a header for where the stats come from?--Otherarrow 06:28, September 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * EDIT: As for the Downloadable chapters, I guess we can have those under the Shin Monsho no Nazo stats in the same way.--Otherarrow 06:28, September 8, 2010 (UTC)

Blocked for "Spam"
Hi there Otherarrow, I was editing a while back when I was suddenly blocked by this user named Misiek95 ([]). You see, I was adding the Japanese names of the Sacred Stones characters to their appropriate pages, when this happened due to 'spam'.

This is the message I received:

Concerning Death Quotes:
Hi there. I was putting in the Death Quotes from Ishtar, and I realized that she doesn't "die" when defeated in Chapter 8 and 10... Still, I have listed what she says when she is defeated.

BSFE images
If you're interested, I've uploaded higher quality versions of the BSFE CGs here. I'm busy working on some other things, so I won't be able to add them myself (that and I experienced a minor disaster trying to update the TheEscape CG). Just a tip: It might be quicker to convert them to PNGs after saving, so you can overwrite the existing images on the wiki. Aveyn Knight 15:38, November 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Due to the cache thing being well, very odd, I think it might actually be easier to just upload them as they are, instead of having to struggle with the cache. Some of the files are already jpgs though, so this does bring me back to the original problem. Oh well. Thanks a whole lot for the images though.--Otherarrow 16:38, November 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I didn't forsee it being such a problem, although I had issues with it myself. Related to the above, I've now added a dozen higher quality FE8 images towards the bottom of this page (the section beginning with Artur). I should note that Cormag, Natasha and Tana have a small watermark added to them; if you want to include them and have any issues with the watermark, give me a shout so I can work something out. I also have a bunch of Akaneia images, which I can send to you as a zip file later. Aveyn Knight 16:40, November 1, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, the images are from the 20th anniversary book. Or more accurately, they're from a pdf sample page that the publisher put up (I have the book itself, but there's no way you can scan the physical book to get any good images). I feel kind of bad for ripping the images like this, but it's the only way we're going to get any clear images and at least it's not for a bad cause. The Akaneia images include good quality images of TCG Astram, Midia and Lang, the Shadow Dragon concept artwork of Horace, as well as some random FE1 and FE3 artworks. As for the three FE8 artworks, I'll upload a different version of Natasha and Tana onto the Wiki soon, but I don't think I kept the original file of the Cormag rip (the one I have is 3/4 complete), so that one might take a bit longer. Aveyn Knight 20:12, November 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * You can get the Akaneia images here. 1/3 at the end indicates it's from FE1/3. The four CGs are all from FE12. The rest should be easy to guess. I also have some images of the "legendary" weapons from FE11/12, which I'll probably add myself. Parthia is going to be almost impossible to extract though, due to the way it's layered : / Aveyn Knight 21:20, November 2, 2010 (UTC)

Hey an Affiliation?
Hi my name is Kevin! On youtube i go by KevinJ2010. Now i have an idea that both of us can benefit from.

Now i am a Let's Player, which means i make Let's plays. A let's play is essentially a walkthrough with a lot of extra work put in. AND live commentary! Which often makes it enjoyable for people to watch!

Now a while back i did a Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones LP and frankly i think i did a great job of explaining the game. I was a tad worse than i am now but i am still proud of it. Now i know that i have stopped the project for a bit, as it started to burden me to play the game. Don't get me wrong i LOVE the fire emblem series, i just got bored with forcing myself to play it. plus the commentary starting to get repetitive. I stopped around Chapter 15.

Now feel free to watch some of these here videos!

LINK REMOVED

As you can see through the class bios, i went VERY in depth and much more than your average let's play of a Fire Emblem game.

I was thinking maybe you could embed the videos around the site! Not only will it will draw in viewers, AND make your articles a little more entertaining. I will also leave links to your site on my videos which would look AWESOME!

Regardless, please let me know if you are interested in this trade off. Thank you!
 * Thanks, but no thanks. We have no real need for Youtube videos here on the Fire Emblem Wiki. We do not host Let's Plays in the mainspace of this site, and have no intention of doing so. While I am sure your unfinished Let's Play is very nice, I will not allow you to use the Fire Emblem Wiki to advertise it.--Otherarrow 09:44, November 4, 2010 (UTC)

Seisen no Keifu
Are we considering this http://www.serenesforest.net/general/designer4_2.html to be cannon? If so then there are many articles relevant to FE 4 that need to be revised such as the holy weapons, Loptous, Naga, Holstey, and several others. Anyway, my main question is can one use the information from that source as official information?
 * That depends on the source I guess. If they are from the guidebooks and official interviews, then yes, they are canon! If they are from Kaga's dream scenarios, then that is a little iffy, since he admitted that they were his planned idea, but shouldn't be taken seriously concerning the final product. Honestly, the reason I haven't included most of that info already is because the source is untrustworthy. (From what I can tell, it's from an unofficial playing guide)--Otherarrow 22:57, November 28, 2010 (UTC)

Hm, I remember that the galleries were represented by pictures (and they still are). I remember that, moving over the gallery symbol, would make something appear in the top-right corner that said "Edit". I can't click it anymore, and, in most cases, I can't edit galleries. There are some I can edit using the method you previously described, but most of the time, I can't use that method. Black  Dragon   Laguz  17:41, November 29, 2010 (UTC)
