Why was my Crapsack World entry removed here?

Because it's not a Crapsack World?

Yea, bad stuff happened. That doesn't make it a Crapsack World unless there is nothing positive in it at all. The entire point of the game was showing that wasn't true.

From the Crapsack World description:

"A mutable Crapsack World simply starts out as crappy, but a determined protagonist and his posse, be they the Knight In Shining Armor or a simple old PI, can actually cause positive changes in the setting."

Hell, I see series on that page who have it off better than the FF 7 world.

Anyone know what part of Dirge of Cerberus the phone call between Vincent and Cloud is? The one where Cloud sounded upbeat. I would so love to hear that.

I think it's during the final assault on Midgar. Cloud, if I remember correctly, is talking on the phone while fighting Rosso the Crimson, and seems to be having a good time of it all things considered.

Sudden flurry of edits? How did I KNOW it was shippers again? I must be psychic!

A note for Fridge Logic: There is only one real way to get into the Gold Saucer for the rest of the world who is not you. The Gold Saucer is a popular place where money flows like water. Why is the town you have to go through to get to the tram dirt poor? That sort of run-off trade is why people put cities near interstate highways. It should be at least less poor than it is.

If you want to add a note to Fridge Logic, You Could Always Edit It Yourself. Just make sure it goes in the Fridge namespace.

Why do people keep deleting Reno's note about being a Karma Houdini and/or Draco In Leather Pants? It doesn't matter how you try to justify it, he was given an order to murder hundreds of people and he did it without any repercussions. That's a clear indication of a Karma Houdini, so why does it keep being removed? Statistically speaking, he probably kills more people than Sephiroth.

Without "any" repercussions? He ended in the hospital after this!

Nobody deleted the Karma Houdini note, it's right there beneath Rufus and Palmer. And Draco In Leather Pants is on the YMMV page (Reno's listed on it too).

I was referring more to the character page rather than the main article. And yes he was in hospital, but he got better. All the people in Midgar, on the other hand...

Scot-free means NO payment. If he was in the hospital because of his actions, he was not "scot-free".

Fair point. I'm still bugged by it, though. I mean, his hospital visit was probably nothing compared to the people of Sector Seven (I'm assuming that a Turk would get, or at least be able to afford, far better medical treatment than Joe Blogs off the street).

The people of Sector Seven were squashed flat. I don't think any quality medical treatment's going to do much for them.

The Five Man Band is a real mess. Cid's obligatory for FF games, Yuffie and Vincent are optional, Cait Sith's evil. So, should I delete it to leave the core five?

On the Fantastic Aesop, it's not only that we learn from the game if we find Earth's energy, WE'RE ALREADY DOING IT, at least in the petroleum and coal area. It's more like a Green Aesop.

It's obvious that one of the topics of the game is about Earth's resources. Lifestream being the representation of said resources, particularly coal in my opinion, and Mako energy being gasoline. Basically one of the many topics the game shouts about, is that the humans are literally consuming Earth's lifeforce, and what can result of playing God .

I'm not a God freak or anything, but we all know that experiments can go seriously wrong (i.e Sephiroth). I wouldn't be surprised if, in fact, Mad Scientists are creating SOLDIER, or even worse, Sephiroth, just because it's him... Better for them (and us) creating Cloud too (in resume FFVII happening somewhere around the world).

It's TropeNamer. As in "where we got the name for the trope." So long as the names come from this game, then it's the trope namer.

Trope Namer does not mean it's the first, best, or most relevant usage of the trope, all it means is that that's where we picked the name from.

OK, get your flamethrowers out. Is it Aeris or Aerith?

Amazing. Nothing happened.

Aerith, since that's the only spelling the people who made the game use anymore. Outside of one translation.

I just want them to remake the game to make the "Aeris" freaks heads explode when an obvious translation error isn't recognized as the canon they think it is.

Well they keep calling her Aerith, I never minded her name actually, but I used to think they should pick one and use it in something new (movie: advent children, more games: crisis core, etc. etc.) so that people would think hey whether it was an error or not, they're gonna use this one, it's canon now so lets move on. I didn't knew the full power of the fans and Fandumb before, how naive I was back then.

Aerisu. If you want to make the argument that the kanji was flawed and want to go with original, English-inspired intentions in nomenclature, then fine. Her name is now "Aerth." Anyone want to call her "Aerth"? Not allowing my hypothetical adversary to respond, I will simply say I didn't think so. Because it looks like "Garth."
MrDeath
07:13:45 AM Jul 26th 2011
No, her name is Aerith. Because they call her Aerith in everything. Now you're just being stupid.

In fact, the exact translation of エアリス should be "Earis", or "Earith" or maybe even "Earth", following secondtime's logic. Seems like they changed it just like Tina/Terra's – the original one would sound lame to american auditory. As for translations, both breath "th" and "s" would turn into ス(su) when transliterated. So, the way to transliterate ス in a supposedly exotic name is totally ambiguous. The point is, that is not a translation error and it shouldn't be called such.

Well, it's not like it matters much, but I hope that made things a little clearer. Cheers.

What's all this about Lovecraft?

I looked it up, couldn't find any of that in Strange Case.

I've never actually read the story, but if someone could prove that the Lovecraft shout-out exists, please do so.

Should we start grooming this article for trope entries related to specific installments of the Compilation (as opposed to the original game), nearly all of which have their own articles on this wiki, or keep them here?

One thing bugs me plenty: I suppose it's fair to say that Cloud is a poster boy for Onehanded Zweihander stuff, but in fact, I don't recall ever seeing him thrust his BFS with one hand. Yeah, he spins and unsheathes it with one hand alright, but in combat he always holds it in two hands, iirc. The point is, shouldn't we at least remark that somehow?

Wouldn't it be better to list the tropes by categories (narrative, gameplay, meta etc.) instead of alphabetically, like it's done with the page of, say, The Reconstruction?
