::Also agree we should go by release order. The constant back and forth between KH2 and KH2FM as pointed out on Axel and Xigbar's pages are a nuisance, and not very helpful for visitors in my opinion. Many other pages have similar examples IIRC. I also agree that not every single quote should be on a quote page, but that narrowing down what is noteworthy - as pointed out - can at times be difficult. But as you said, certain quotes are so obviously not needed that I think we can perfectly fine start removing some of those. - {{User:JTD95/Signature}} 21:15, 6 June 2023 (UTC).

:::I think one of the biggest problems is the presence of Final Mix scenes. There would be a lot less jumping back and forth if Final Mix scenes were lumped in with the base game. Maybe put an "FM" (or "RM" for KH3) tag at the end of those? Also: for the ''coded'' quotes, are those fan translations of the Japanese? As far as I know that game didn't have a translation. I added ''Re:coded'' quotes to some characters, but they also had ''coded'' sections. For other games like ''Chain of Memories'' and ''Re:Chain of Memories,'' I'm fine with keeping separate entries, but if others would rather remove them, that's OK too. —Giantgold 5:20 8 June 2023 (UTC).

::::For remakes, I would stick with using the most recent version of the game, unless the content of the quote is substantially different in the original (or missing entirely from the remake). You raise an interesting question with the ''coded'' ones, though. Based on the use of some weird terms (e.g. "Memory Words" instead of "[[Inkling]]s"), I have to assume that they are indeed translations and not mislabeled ''Re:coded'' quotes, meaning we can safely remove them. —[[User:Aid1043|Aid1043]] ([[User talk:Aid1043|talk]]) 14:12, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
