Talk:Squall Leonhart

Shouldn't this be named as he is in game? We're not writing about the Final Fantasy character, we're writing to match the Kingdom Hearts info. Scott ch 02:06, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree with Scotty-boy on this one. Names should be as proposed in the KH-game, not as the original Final Fantasy. --Hecko X 10:03, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Cleaning Up
Man! This article was in such a mess that I have to clean it up. I've also added some information from the KH Ultimania. The only section that I haven't touch on yet is the KH2 section. Will get that done a.s.a.p. -DivineLady 10:47, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

....About 60% of all articles in this wiki is messed up, think that the previous version is a mess? check the earliest version before Netherith came helping in! ): -Nelo Right. I suppose I should have put something up to tell you people that I had not finished editing yet but what's done is done. To this end I will be bringing some things you people deleted back up. DO NOT DELETE THEM. If you want you can help to fill the sections out. Don't worry, I will keep what you guys have added, I do not own this page after-all. For those of you who don't know me and are concerned about me handling of this page check the Squall Leonhart page in the FFWiki. I was a major contributor to the layout and addition of information to that page as well as other such as SeeD, Gunblades and Paine. Netherith 11:22, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I have seen the previous version. And although Netherith's version helped a lot, there were still some spelling and grammar mistakes. Not to mention that the articles have to also be written in a "Wikified" manner for others to understand (this coming from a Wikipedia contributor). So that's why I cleaned it up, mostly... -DivineLady 11:00, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Interesting. Now I finally know why you guy(gals) hated Wikipedia(-pedians) so much-Nelo
 * What was deleted that you intend to "bring back up"? --Hecko X 12:00, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Well I'm so sorry about that! if you want to bring back some of the deleted data you have added in, I'll look into the History section for that. I've only cleaned up mainly the KH1, COM and KH2 sections. But what else do you actually need to put in the article? "Battle style"? "Abilities"? -DivineLady 12:09, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

wowowow, Before more wiki-wikipedia wars, I'd like to say something, instead of focusing on arguing Leon's page, why don't we expand other articles as well? like Tifa, who's info is painfully lacking. I trust Netherith would do a good job on Leon's page so why don't we just drop it? ---Nelo
 * No one is waging any wars; it's better to fully settle one article, otherwise we won't be able to fully focus on whatever other article we start on; we don't just drop it, because then we would never come to a conclusion. Simple, ne? ^_^ --Hecko X 12:22, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Age
Do we know how old Leon is?

 * He's 25 in Kingdom Hearts, according to the KH official website as well as the Ultimania. 118.138.198.67 11:22, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Keyblade Master
His gunblade has ALWAYS had a chain on it. --72.160.100.81 02:31, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

maybe days is a retcon to it.

Name
Dunno if this is notable, but... I was just boredly reading through the KH1 manual, and in the credits section, it refers to "Squall (Leon)". Between that and the journal entries, I'm thinking maybe the article should be renamed after all... But either way, should the manual bit be mentioned in the Trivia? Dazuro 21:44, October 17, 2009 (UTC)
 * KHII journal specifically says his real name is "Squall Leonhart". In my mind, the page should be moved to "Squall Leonhart" or "Squall "Leon" Leonhart". Glorious  CHAOS!  04:02, October 18, 2009 (UTC)

The Cloud article isn't titled "Cloud Strife", instead it is "Cloud", and that's how he addressed in Kingdom Hearts. Squall is addressed as "Leon" and I believe that the article should be "Leon".
 * Bringing this topic back up. We have a full name explicitly given, with Leon as a nickname or alias rather than being something quite like "Ansem, Seeker of Darkness", where the only people calling him Xehanort's Heartless are doing that to dehumanize him. If the journals weren't so insistent about his real name being Squall Leonhart, maybe it would be more considerate to use his common name, but...they are insistent. 03:21, 17 September 2013 (UTC)

I'm ok either leaving it like this or moving to "Squall Leonhart", but considering how we'll still be linking in articles to "Leon", wouldn't it make sense to leave it? -- 22:35, 17 September 2013 (UTC)

The credits roll for Kingdom Hearts Final Mix from Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX credit his voice actor's character as "Squall(Leon)" (yes, no space between 'l' and '(').—Kaimi (talk) 22:01, 13 October 2013 (UTC)
 * I'd like it to be consistent, yeah. I vote for Squall "Leon" Leonhart or just Squall Leonhart. 04:06, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
 * We can name the article Squall Leonhart, and just add "Squall "Leon" Leonhart in the introduction. :) Lots of wikias do it, and I support the idea of doing it.-- 21:28, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

Rinoa
I hope they show Rinoa in future KH games. More Final Fantasy characters are awesome. Kutlessrocker23 02:32, October 19, 2010 (UTC)

Cyrus, they had never planned on making another Kingdom Hearts, so they wouldn't have put a nod to another FF character. And they have done it with BbS. In the end credits, Zack watches a black feather (obviously Sephiroth) float down in front of him. Then he disappeared. --Jacobmirror 16:02, December 15, 2010 (UTC)

Opening Paragraph
Due to the move, we need to make note of how he later chose to be known as "Leon." Otherwise, it makes no sense to randomly call him "Leon" throughout the article but make absolutely no mention as to why in the opening paragraph. Honestly, why are the non-KH names taking precedence here? - 00:15, 22 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Well, actually, it's already mentioned in the opening paragraph, as well as under the Story section detailing his events during BBS and KH.-- 03:46, 22 August 2015 (UTC)
 * It should say so in the opening sentence, though. As in, "Squall Leonhart, later known as Leon…" - 04:11, 22 August 2015 (UTC)
 * The first sentence identifies what the topic is, then the paragraph gives brief context. That bit fits the standard. As far as making sure the reader is aware, "Leon" is bolded, and is in only the second sentence. The reader's not gonna miss it. 05:28, 22 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Odd, because I did… Oh well. - 06:03, 22 August 2015 (UTC)
