coded Information
As requested, here be the goods for coded: FAQ First YouTube playthrough video. Neumannz had this to say: "pick a world, take notes on stuff that stands out, especially differences from recoded. Use the gamefaqs page as a guide." Thanks again! 04:05, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Okay. I'll make sure to watch it. Thank you. 15:07, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

BON TRAVAIL MONSIEUR
Good day to you ^_^ 17:51, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

You insult me. -_- 17:56, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Désole! It was fun so don't worry about the results ^_^ 18:30, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't. I accept defeat to team ECLAIR. It was cool. ^_^ 18:32, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Très bien monsieur. 18:33, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

Lead image sizes
As far as these go, could you please stick to the standard 350x400px? Using an unqualified width results in images that are way, way too tall. 18:14, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Alright, sorry about that. Also, what links have I removed? I don't believe I did them on purpose. I had to restart my computer, so maybe that was the reason. 18:18, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

SORRY M8
Sorry! I was looking after my niece so I didn't see your message. About what you're planning, I don't think it's necessary (if I see on the IRC, I'll explain it in full). See ya~ 20:40, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

Okay, I'll see you soon. 23:05, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

Editing
First of all, thank you for asking to edit my page and not just doing it yourself. Secondly, sure it's cool for now, just know that I may undo it if i don't like it. But if I undo it, no hard feelings towards you, I just don't like the edit. :D 20:53, 1 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Okay, let's see how it works. 23:05, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

Image cropping
I'm not sure what program you use but if the outline of the image gets removed the tolerance of your cropping tool (magic wand etc.) is probably too high. -- 20:27, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
 * It's really sensitive, if that's what you mean by high. I might have to find another one. 20:30, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
 * If it's really sensitive it would just select a few colors, the higher the tolerance the more colors get picked and removed if you delete them. To crop images with too much transparent space around them you have to select it using only the lowest tolerance/highest sensitivity. For beginners I would advise using the freeware Paint.net, it has most of the features professional image softwares come with but it's much easier too use. -- 13:08, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

Yeah, lots recommended that for me. The current one is way to flimsy. 13:10, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

Lingering Will
Can you explain why you removed the "easy method" from this edit? 00:28, 24 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Because technically it is a glitch, as it breaks the games mechanics. The will really isn't supposed to work that way, is just how I see it. 00:34, 24 February 2015 (UTC)
 * How do you mean? And if the glitch is present in all versions of the game and doesn't corrupt the save data or anything like that, don't we cover stuff of that ilk already, at least as trivia notes? 14:31, 24 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I would see having it as a trivia fine, but as an alternate strategy just doesn't seem right. It seems like more of a glitch than anything. 19:10, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

I would keep the easy method on the page, since it's an easy strategy to defeat a very hard boss. It may be a glitch or bug, but if it doesn't break the game, it can help players defeat the Lingering Will. 19:17, 24 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm still confused on why it's considered a glitch. From the description, it sounds like it's exploiting the as-built AI, same as using Cartwheel in KHBBS as an invincibility shield. 22:23, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

Because the Lingering Will is supposed to react after three finishers, but if you use that trick, he doesn't. I'm not sure why this is, though. I just feel that it isn't necessary to put in the strategy section. 22:26, 24 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Okay, but where are you getting that he's "supposed to react after three finishers"? I can rip LW apart quickly and without taking damage simply by using Comet and a few Ethers, and I can exploit Berserk Charge to make a joke of most of the Mushroom XIII -- but these are strategies the Ultimania even points out as recommended. This kind of AI exploitation is also common in similar games like DMC, with cancelling, and is even on record as a purposefully included mechanic that is simply not explained or mentioned within the game. Beyond it being too easy, what makes it seem to be a glitch to you? Does the game freeze, or produce any visual clashes? For comparison, we cover tricking the AI by hiding behind a rock, as well. 23:57, 24 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I personally feel that yes, it is a glitch, since it probably shouldn't be that easy. However, that doesn't make it an illegitimate strategy. Like Kryten just pointed out, there's a glitch in the AI of the Vanitas Remnant that allows you to trick it; that doesn't make it an illegitimate strategy. We should definitely cover this strategy if one can repeat it. 01:07, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
 * LW reacts after 25 "revenge value" (which is part of the game's coding, though I'm not entirely sure how to explain it concisely since it's never been officially acknowledged IIRC), not necessarily "three finishers" (although the more common strats against him do bring him above that threshold, hence the common misconception). I want to say the Fenrir+Negative Combo exploit is based on that, but I'm not entirely sure. Ultima Spark   (talk)  Lofty Fantasy KH3D.png 01:53, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

I just don't think it's necessary to add as a strategy, same goes for Vanitas LW. If we already have strategies, is it really necessary to have videos, and an additional strategy? I could see putting it with trivia or such, but it seems somehow weird if we put it with the strategy. That's just like using my bbs strategy for every boss. Spam dodge roll, and have 4 fire surges, and 4 cures. 13:27, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Isn't the purpose of the Strategy section to give players advice on how to beat a boss? If exploiting this glitch is an easy way to victory than we should cover that in the Strategy section. I think that video's help players if they don't understand the text or not speak English, and additional strategies help if you can't win with the first strategy, so in my opinion it all belongs on the page. 13:33, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Okay, so:


 * 1) In the game coding is something that causes the LW to retaliate after a certain amount of attacks.
 * 2) In the game coding is something that keeps the first event from triggering.
 * 3) Neither of these causes any obvious faults, like graphical faults or freezing, and thus neither are glitches. It's exploiting the coding of the AI in a possibly non-intuitive fashion, certainly, but isn't that the point of everything regarding the superbosses anyway?
 * 4) As for Thunder Surge...that's not a glitch strategy. If it works (without crashing the game), it works. Our strategies should be whatever is the most reliable, least burdensome method to beat the boss -- whatever requires the least grinding or item buying, and at their best, can be done without taking damage. The strategies should not be what produces the flashiest battles. Furthermore, it's acceptable to have two or three strategies presented, if readers find that the first is not reliable enough for them. 17:17, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I understand what you are saying, Kryten, but I just feel it's kinda crazy for putting it on the strategy. I don't care/mind if its moved back, it just feels kinda redundant to have it there. 18:53, 25 February 2015 (UTC)


 * The strategy section as it is right now is still largely a near word-for-word transcription of Everglow's guide video, which is not something it should be. -- 19:03, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

Magazine
Heyo RtB! I'm going around and checking on people's progress for the magazine contributions. You signed up for the coliseum debate, and I wanted to make sure that you're still planning on doing it, and was wondering if you need anything from me, and how far along you are in your endeavors. If you'd like to do more than what you've signed up for, feel free to sign up for more on the Journalist Spot, just don't put too much pressure on yourself :) Keep in mind that the deadline is June 23rd, which is less than a month away. Thanks for your contributions and have a good day! 06:09, 27 May 2015 (UTC)
