Re:DW7Empires
I've said it to you three times before, so I'll say it again. I'm not a heavy Warriors fan. This game doesn't look that appealing or interesting to me. Nearly all of the additions sound gimmicky or are rehashed ideas from other games (Koei or otherwise). Edit characters are there for shameless filler. And I didn't like the lazy character arcs in DW7 or its general play style, so this game appeals to me even less. But, since it has the branding "Dynasty Warriors", it will sell like hotcakes no matter how much I complain about it. In short, I won't be buying this one. I might rent it or play it at a friend's house to give it a shot, but that's about it.

The Warriors game which looks interesting to me at the moment is Shin Hokuto. It vaguely looks like a Hokuto version of the Gundam ones with unique character movesets, so that's a plus in my book. Can't say much else about it though. Sake neko (talk) 01:51, August 25, 2012 (UTC)
 * Geez, calm down. I'm just saying that, regardless of whatever WO3 says, those characters really had just one weapon. Regardless of type, those characters in actuality had only one weapon. It's like you're trying to pass them off as characters who actually had three unique models for power, speed, standard (Lu Xun and company). Yet you say the name is super important for some reason just because it's reuse in WO3. That just says to me that you have never touched DW6.


 * And yeah, even if I don't particularly like Warriors games anymore, that doesn't mean I am completely ignorant of them and have never played the newest titles. You sure are being insulting by implying as such. Sake neko (talk) 23:14, August 26, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm just saying my opinion because you engaged in conversation. I'm not even upset about the weapons or whatever; it just sounds like you haven't played DW6 and I was just trying to tell you what I thought.


 * I have never intended on insulting you, I'm just saying that's how it feels like when I read the changes you do. So, I'm truly sorry if that's how you take it. I can't change about how you feel with what I type. If you don't want me to respond, then don't leave a message on my talk page. It's the internet; I can forgive and forget because it's just words on a screen typed by someone whose face I cannot see.


 * Let's be serious here: you're sounding like an enraged fanboy, not the friendly well meaning type. You have a bad habit of flinging insults. I have not personally insulted you with crude slurs or vulgar words, but you seem to have no problem doing so and instead play victim like you did on my talk page. You need to understand that this is how you sound. I trust you aren't like that personally, but really, knock it off. If you're upset with something, just give it a break and be rational about it.

Related videos
Please do not add videos to the global list. Adding it to the global list means the video will show on every page on the wiki even if the video isn't related to the page. If you're adding a specific trailer or promotional video for a particular game, make sure it's being added to that article's related videos list, not the global one. Kyosei (talk) 14:34, August 28, 2012 (UTC)
 * Just in case you didn't see it, by October 3, all of the page specific related video pages will be disappearing and will be merged to the global list. This is a change being enforced by Wikia to "encourage" directly embedding page specific videos into the article itself for more page views essentially. This is why you ended up adding to the global list instead of the page specific list. This was a preemptive move made by towards that direction without really informing anyone in a global announcement. Details, comments, feedback and questions can be left here.

Re:Generics
I think it should just go to the dedicated generics page, it's what it's there for to begin with. The weapon moveset pages are for movesets that every playable character can use and share. Since this is something specific only to generics it should just go there. Kyosei (talk) 22:21, September 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * Looks fine to me. Kyosei (talk) 23:36, September 21, 2012 (UTC)

Re:Flail
Meh I'd just put it on the DW7 one. I don't see the point on putting it on the Empires one. Kyosei (talk) 00:50, September 24, 2012 (UTC)

Erasing
I only erase or move what you write if the information you write is not particularly true to what you're trying to convey. I don't treat in any way that is different than with a random IP editor, another user, or even with my own writing when I screw up.

You don't have to keep posting "because I have permission" all the time in the recent changes. It's great you're actually talking to Kyosei when you're not sure about something, but there's no need to keep naming me out like I have supreme grudge against you. I really don't. It's like you have a constant agenda against me every time you type that out. So, please stop doing that. Thanks in advance. Sake neko (talk) 02:52, September 24, 2012 (UTC)

Re:Zhang Chunhua
I'm going to have to re-chime on what Humble Novice has already said and would rather wait for the game release to know for sure if it is actually unique. Kyosei (talk) 15:22, October 4, 2012 (UTC)


 * Look, this is the Twitter campaign's title:『真・三國無双６ Empires』発売記念：エディット武将命名キャンペーン = "Dynasty Warriors 7 Empires Release Celebration: Edit Warriors Naming Campaign". There's not even a mention of "unique generics"; they're edit characters. How is that any different than any other generic character in the game, including the ones you can make in the game? Because they had a campaign to name them? That's it really.


 * And yes, you can change the color of edit parts. That's a feature that was showcased extensively at TGS. It's also something that's been coming back from DW6 Empires, except with slightly more detail. Sake neko (talk) 00:38, October 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * You're distorting the facts however. You can replace any character in the game with another edit character. That was also showcased at TGS, on stage even. I mean here's one of the Yoshimoto group comedians beating up his coworkers in battle. I just think you're giving these edit character unreasonable special treatment, when really they're not any different than any other edit character in the game. Sake neko (talk) 00:56, October 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * Even if Zhang Chenhua's face is not unique to her by a long shot, huh? You seem pretty set that they're are "unique", but it's been clearly demonstrated on multiple occasions both on stage and in news reports that the playable cast are the only uniquely designed characters in the game. If you want to stay in denial that are simply edit characters, then I guess there's nothing I can say that can change your mind. Or of how much I actually do keep up with this game, even with my lack of personal interest. Sake neko (talk) 01:13, October 5, 2012 (UTC)

Behavior
Alright, I've been pretty lenient on this matter because I know you tend to lean on the side of passionate fan. I can take the hits pretty well myself, I have a hardened skin of iron sometimes, but really, you don't need to resort to senseless name calling or baseless insults against other users especially when the other party does not do the same. I don't like how it seems like you feel you can get away with this either just because the other party in question is not an authority figure. Whether or not they are a mod or fellow user there's no reason to drop all courtesy. This is not just in the case with Sake neko, you've done it with me in the past, and other users.

Try to use a more respectful tone, you don't have to agree but there's no reason to not be civil. I'm not asking you to be sugar sweet, just less acidic and venomous. Take time to cool down before responding, not cracking at the whip to "try and get back" at whoever you feel has personally wronged you. Usually they're not trying to personally insult you and your intelligence, they're trying to give constructive criticism or correcting a perceptional error on your part. That's not a bad thing. It's ok to be wrong, no one's perfect. It's better to correct your mistakes then go on in ignorance of the fact and looking all the more foolish because of it. Try to be more open and accepting of this criticism and less biting of the hand. Kyosei (talk) 11:55, October 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * That's all I ask, that you're at least willing to consider the other party before immediately write them off as wrong and consider them "the enemy". You need to remember it's another person on the other side. You wouldn't really say these things face to face. Put yourself in the other person's place: if you read your own response how would that make you feel if you received that message. If only makes you feel more angry and insulted, it's probably a sign you should reword it.


 * Also, don't say things like: "Go back to editing those female dating RPG Games you like so much that never get ported out west because we all know its important to post information on a japanese-only game on an english speaking wiki". Not only is this an elitist attitude, especially since we're a wiki covering a Japanese video game development company, it's a bit sexist and ignores the fact that this is a wiki that aims to cover everything Koei-related. You're also ignoring the fact these "female dating" sims have played a historically significant part in developing the video game industry more so than the Warriors games in Japan. These "girly" games, make up a good chunk of Koei's revenue and helped to support the development of your Warriors games. There also seems to be a growing general interest in these games based on the wiki visitor statistics. Even if you may not be interested, plenty of other readers do not seem to agree. Also, IF we were to really take the stance that English-only games should be covered on the wiki, we would not talk about many other games you yourself are interested in such as:


 * Jan Sangoku Musou
 * Musou Orochi 2: Special
 * Sengoku Musou 3 Z: Special
 * Sengoku Musou 3: Empires
 * Sengoku Musou 3: Moushouden
 * Sengoku Musou Chronicle 2nd
 * Shin Sangoku Musou 6 Special
 * Shin Sangoku Musou Multi Raid 2
 * Shin Sangoku Musou VS


 * Again. Try to be more opened-minded, calm down and really sit down and think about what you're typing. I appreciate in advance that you will be taking this more adult approach in the future in your debates and responses. Kyosei (talk) 20:37, October 5, 2012 (UTC)

Re:Edit gallery
It looks fine though somewhat excessive as I don't think it's necessary to see every color combination for every outfit especially since we haven't done it for other games. At that point might as well let people play the game and see the different color variations for themselves. At best I think these pages should just showcase the different base outfits you can choose. Kyosei (talk) 06:39, October 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * ? I don't really see why you'd need to be on edge for. Did I say I was going to crop and delete the images? All I said is I didn't think showing all the color combos was necessary. You did ask for my personal opinion after all. Even if I may disagree with it, I'm not going to outright undo hours of work unless I find it totally out of line (i.e. incorrect/misleading information or lazy copy/pasta). In the end, the edit character page is free to show off all these costumes. Kyosei (talk) 21:00, October 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * I would think you would know me by now. If I'm going to do something, I do it as soon as I found out about. I'm not going to delay doing anything I can do right away. If I was really going to crop the images, I would've done it as soon as you told me about it. Kyosei (talk) 21:32, October 14, 2012 (UTC)

Re:Videoes
This is part of the change that was already discussed in this blog post and done by Wikia's bot. There's nothing much I can do myself as the only response Wikia gave to our complaints in the blog post was essentially: "We're sorry for the inconvenience, directly embed the related videos you want on the desired articles instead." I personally do not like it but again nothing I can do about it. I don't like the idea of directly embedding either as it tends to look tacky more than anything. Kyosei (talk) 01:25, October 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * To be honest, I don't see the need to embed any of the videos on any of the articles. Most of the videos that were uploaded here fell into one of three categories: promotional trailer/teaser, intro cinematic or music. I don't feel any of these things added much to the article it was related to, it was just something extra on the side bar which was fine. If we directly embed videos into articles, I'd rather they serve a more meaningful purpose such as an in-depth video to demonstrate some gameplay element in action as opposed to some random trailer which doesn't do much other than glaze over details. Kyosei (talk) 01:53, October 18, 2012 (UTC)

Re:Galleries
I'd only consider that for someone like Nobunaga. Most of them actually don't have that many images. Kyosei (talk) 23:00, October 31, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm going to be brutally honest here. It looks terrible, so I'll be undoing it. I'm considering doing something else with the galleries. Kyosei (talk) 23:22, October 31, 2012 (UTC)
 * I've made Nobunaga's gallery collapsible. I feel this is a better solution in the long run for this wiki. Feel free to apply to other character pages you think might need it. Kyosei (talk) 23:58, October 31, 2012 (UTC)
