Talk:Warriors Orochi (series)

I don't think this page is really needed.The Warriors Orochi article already introduces the series,and is linked to it's sequel and port. Not too much information could be added to this article, in my opinion.
 * Its great to bring up issues like this for discussion, but could you please refrain from going ahead and blanking the page? Since nothings decided yet, and deleting actual related content doesn't help us really grow.


 * But on whether its needed, I agree that its rather empty right now as the series is quite new, but Koei is starting to put a good bit of backing into it; its not just a quirk crossover anymore, the series is growing to be one of the big ones, and with 2 main games, psp ports for each, and a new remixed/expanded version of WO2 coming to PS3, I think we'll find that the series will become notable enough to justify this page. And as for most of the relevant content being on the WO article, i think you'll see that start to change as well with gameplay changes and what not, or even migrating some of that info over here to balance things out better. Anyways, thats my Two Bits Dabigbozz42 23:55, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, sorry for deleting all the content from the page. As anyone could edit the Wiki, I thought that I had the ability to delete the page altogether, but it seems to not be the case. Sorry. But, I guess you're right, the page could be eexpanded as the series is built up. GreatPanda 15:59, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Mix up about Sanzo
Er, I guess there's a misunderstanding about her name so I'll explain. Sanzo Houshi (三蔵法師) is the Japanese name for the character Xuanzang from Journey to the West. I'm guessing that "fashi" is a misreading but it's really "houshi" (the furigana from the official website spell it out as such). The press release about her use the same kanji. Here's the Japanese wikipedia article for Sanzo Houshi. Clicking on the English side option will lead you back to Xuanzang. In other words, it's the same concept as "Son Goku" for "Sun Wukong". Same character, different name in a different country. This time it's a fun gender-bender.

I don't know how they'll reword her name for the English release though. Sake neko 02:42, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

KOEI Warriors says that Warriors Orochi Z is going to use the name, "Sanzang Fashi". I'd say we should go by that. GreatPanda 03:04, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
 * But the official site says "Sanzou Houshi". That's the point. Sake neko 03:07, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

Oh, I get it. No need to be so mean about it, though. Well, I can't really read any Japanese characters, so I can't really help. However, if you're really so intelligible about it, then it will be decided upon you and the admins. Hopefully the issue can be resolved if an English version comes out. Sorry for the misunderstanding. GreatPanda 03:53, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Er, I apologize for sounding mean...? I guess I give off that impression. It wasn't intended though. Sorry about that. Sake neko 04:18, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Alright, I also am not very familiar with Japanese characters, but what you say makes sense, so I'll take your word about the correct meaning of those kanji. However, it would then appear that the correct name to the article might end up being Xuanzang, if I'm not totally mistaken, if and when the game is localized. On that topic, koeiwarriors found that gamefly has a listing for "warriors orochi:the collective" for ps3, so it's reasonable to believe that we might hear more about the intended translation soon. link Long and short, I'll go ahead and change the name lest other info comes up.

 * Just noticed that it was already changed to Xuanzang. We'll stick with that for now. Dabigbozz42 01:28, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
