Infobox split?[edit]

Why was the infobox split into the VG and animanga ones anyway? This seems to go against convention in a lot of other games that have been adapted into anime and/or manga. --Remy Suen (talk) 00:58, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

From what examples I could find, most series that are primarily a video game first with anime/manga to accompany it usually only have the VG infobox. I'm not sure if this is simply due to lack of cleanup and organization or if this is the accepted way. The only examples I've found where they use the animanga infobox with game included were all first visual novels (for instance, series produced by Key). My vote goes for creating a completely separate article for the anime and/or manga since they will probably have enough differences and information to do so. Each entity also already have their own subtitle succeeding the colon:

(Video game): Michibikareshi Ishi

(Anime): Sekai Bokumetsu no Rokunin

(Manga): Futari no Tenshi

With the page being renamed to include the video game's subtitle, I figure the same could be done for the anime/manga for their own article. If not, then we could keep the anime and manga under their own sections in this article (but not under "Derived products," just "Anime" and "Manga" alone) and take out the animanga infobox altogether. --Willsun (talk) 04:26, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm personally a little unsure myself as to whether there is going to be enough information to spin off new articles. At any rate, I'd personally prefer that either a) the top infobox be replaced with the animanga one or b) have the bottom animanga one be removed. --Remy Suen (talk) 12:45, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thinking about it more, I agree that writing other articles is unnecessary. Whatever slight differences there are in the anime and manga in relation to the game could probably be summed up concisely under this article. I vote for removing the animanga infobox on the bottom.--Willsun (talk) 17:26, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would defentiy say that option a is not a good idea since the anime is not the primary version the game is. One the flip side it would also not make sense to replace the animagna infobox with the video game one on the [[Naruto] article because there were video game based on that series either. In short, the animemagna infobox should not be the main one here.--76.71.211.156 (talk) 02:32, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move[edit]

This article is currently the de facto combined and sole article for the following:

World Destruction: Michibikareshi Ishi
World Destruction: Sekai Bokumetsu no Rokunin
World Destruction: Futari no Tenshi

As the main article (as opposed to being specifically about the video game), I request that the article be moved to "World Destruction," similar to how it is over at the Japanese Wikipedia (ja:ワールド・デストラクション). —Tokek (talk) 16:49, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Kyrie/Kylie[edit]

There has been several editing disputes over the exact spelling of the lead character's name. From 69.233.202.109's most recent edit (as of this message), it seems to be implied that the manual spells it as 'Kyrie' although this is not made explicit in his or her edit summary. Does anybody else own the game that can check the manual or have an alternate official and/or reliable source that shows the character's names in English? Thanks. --Remy Suen (talk) 20:34, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've checked the promo video from the official sega website and noticed they spelled as Kylie, though I'm not sure if we should receive that single video as the reliable source. Personally, I'd just like it be spelled as Kirie, just as it sounds.. but oh well. :P Kimatg (talk) 15:48, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, the video is from the official website, so I don't know how much more reliable it can get (unless new updates have stated otherwise, hence, I asked if anyone had the game's manual handy). Unfortunately, as you may imagine, it is not up to an article's editors to decide how things should be spelt. --Remy Suen (talk) 18:48, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

FUNimation using different spellings and terms.[edit]

I haven't gotten a complete list yet, but I've watched episode 1 and 2 from what FUNimation has put up. When I saw the episode, I thought I noticed something was off, upon further investigation, it seems FUNimation is using a different set of spellings/terms than Sega. This isn't a complete list, but this is what I do know from just glancing at Sega's site:

FUNimation / Sega

Morte Urshela / Morte Ashera

Kyrie Illnis / Kyrie Illunis

Toppy / Taupy

Nadja (Unknown) / Naja Gref

Lia (Unknown) / Rhi`a Dragunal

World Destruction Committee / World Annihilation Front

There might be more, but that's all I have for now. So... Any ideas what we should use...? Mendinso (talk) 20:08, 17 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A bit late, but the rules at WP:ANIME is to use the primary version of the work and in this case it is the game. There is also the fact that the main focus of the article is the game not the anime--76.66.190.219 (talk) 04:27, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
