GIF Images
The images you are uploading are greatly appreciated. However, please make sure they still are animated once placed in the article itself. It could just be my browser, but the Re:CoM Dark Aura image is only animated when I click on it and view its file page, on which it is very slow... - 21:56, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
 * This seems to be the case with the other .gif files you've uploaded, as well. Please double-check them. - 22:06, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Tested Gale of Severance (largest size-hog) at 10fps instead. Better? It should work with the rest, although it sucks that I have to redo Zantetsuken/Sliding Dash and the like (for consistency). Ultima Spark (talk) 22:39, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I understand where you're coming from. This just boils down to the fact that having a .gif image is irrelevant if it doesn't appear animated on the page for which it was made. I would advise you just double-check the images you upload...If they're slow-moving/not animated in an article, please make any necessary changes. - 23:00, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Just to help you out a bit, the images I see issues with from the ones you've uploaded are as follows: Mega Flare, Fire Wall, Gale of Severance, Maelstrom, Inverse Burst, Ice Needles, Dark Aura, Dark Break, Lethal Frame, Circle Reject - 23:09, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

Tricky gifs request
Sup. You're doing a good job with your gifs, so I have a request for you. I would like to see if you can get gifs for some of the action abilities listed here. Many of them are incorporated into normal attack combos, so they might be a bit tricky to isolate (and Dodge Slash is a unique combo in itself). Thanks! -- 17:23, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

Dark Barrage gif
Thanks for bringing another load of great gifs here Ultima Spark, they're excellent. Could you help me with making another Dark Barrage animation where the swords Riku summons can be seen? I created a video and tried to make a gif out of it but after optimizing it to get a smaller file size it just gets annoyingly slow, setting a manual framerate didn't help, I think I don't have the right tools. Could you help me with it? I upload the video here and my failed gif attempt here. Thanks. 21:20, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

Re:Manga/novel images
We're always open for some quality manga images! Thanks for the offer! I don't know too much about the novels/novel articles...Neumannz/someone else might be the better option to ask on what we need for them. Do the novels have cover images like the manga? If so, those would probably be worth uploading...

For the manga articles, here is a rough list of what we're looking for:


 * Front Covers (KH), Chapters: 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 14, 16, 18, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 41, 42
 * Back Covers (KH), Chapters: 7, 17, 21, 25, 26, 28, 42
 * Front Covers (COM), Chapters: 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 (we have a version, but it is low quality), 13 (see previous reason)
 * Front Covers (KHII), Chapters: 1, 2, 3, 6, 14-37
 * Front Covers (Days), Chapters: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 13, 15, 16

Notice, for the Days and KHII manga, more cover images will become needed as the volumes are released. For the time being, the list above shows what is needed. The cover images are the big thing right now. Getting these images in will finish up a lot of the individual chapter articles. Also, character images are always needed. If you browse the manga image category you'll find a few character images around. A rough example of what we need: For Sora: version from KH, COM (if noticable difference from KH version), and KHII.

I understand that this is a lot to throw at you, so take your time on it. Image work is a lengthy process. Thanks again for your help! If you have any questions, feel free to message me on my talkpage.-- Xion 4  ever  17:44, 17 March 2014 (UTC)

Calling
Done. Haven't been doing much scanning lately since I've been busy with university work (essays everywhere, bleh), but I should be back to it in a week or so. (What's with the wiki'd out pictures with the snarky captions, though? Someone's idea of a joke? Carryover from Wikia?) Ultima Spark   (talk)   20:52, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

Name changes
Let's hold off for a little bit longer before we start rushing to make changes, okay? -- 14:07, 28 August 2014 (UTC)

Ultimania Request
You seem to have the Kingdom Hearts Series Memorial Ultimania. If you do, could you please check the section on the True Organization XIII on Page 9 for me, please? The current translations on the internet of that page seem to contradict what you brought up regarding Isa in Organization XIII. 19:48, 13 October 2014 (UTC)
 * That wasn't mine, it was from a Tumblr user. My copy's still in transit (shipping issues and all that, maybe another week or so), I can get raw scans of other stuff once it arrives. That said, this scan of the page from KH Insider calls him Saix. But the thing is that the "Xehanort Experience Record" calls him Isa in Japanese (“真のXIII機関”の一員として、アイザを回収. ), hence my message in the first place... (the page 9 scan was uploaded after I posted on the talk page) Ultima Spark   (talk)  Lofty Fantasy KH3D.png 21:17, 13 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Oh, well, I hope your copy arrives soon, I hear it's good stuff. I figured that the Page 9 scans were posted later; I mean, the translation of Page 9 was posted just yesterday, as far as I know. But since they contradicted, I thought maybe you'd have the Ultimania to double check the translation (in the past, fansites like KHInsider and KH13, where I saw the translation, have been wrong sometimes). I guess, the only way both pages can be right is if both Isa and Saïx are in the True Organization XIII.... 21:25, 13 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Just a bit further down, it actually calls him by both names! The way it's written seems to imply just the one being, rather than two from differing time periods. Ultima Spark   (talk)  Lofty Fantasy KH3D.png 21:31, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

KH3D Ultimania
Do you have the KH3D Ultimania? 11:05, 16 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes, I have the whole thing scanned (KH2, KH2FM+, 3D). What data do you need? Ultima Spark   (talk)  Lofty Fantasy KH3D.png 11:10, 16 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Well, I was wondering if Nightmare and Spirit Dream Eaters have different attacks. 11:13, 16 November 2014 (UTC)
 * From what I can tell, they're the same. Attacks used by Spirits depend on level and disposition, attacks used by Nightmares depend on a given tactical situation (and probably level, I'm not certain). This is from a quick browse, you'll need to find someone with fluent knowledge of Japanese to properly clarify. Ultima Spark   (talk)  Lofty Fantasy KH3D.png 11:44, 16 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks! 11:47, 16 November 2014 (UTC)

Days Manga Request

 * I have a couple requests, if you don't mind. These are completely optional- do not feel compelled to do either unless you want. Anyways...We'd really appreciate it if you could help us out with two things on the Days manga articles. The first is double checking the titles on this page. I believe volumes one thru three are okay. However, if you could double check four that would be great. Second, the infoboxes for each volume for Days should match the content shown in the infobox for Kingdom Hearts Volume 1. If you could help us out on this, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks again for all your help. 01:42, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
