:"Somebody" was a semi-canon phrase that many editors were uncomfortable interpreting as a term for complete beings. "Other" is a pretty weak and mostly useless term for this object, as it is very indiscriminate. "Entelechy", however, is simply an English word with this exact meaning, and will not be ''possible'' to replace without Nomura releasing an official term (which would eliminate any future argument), or a major shift in the English language.[[Special:Contributions/70.34.147.3|70.34.147.3]] 20:15, 18 March 2012 (UTC) | :"Somebody" was a semi-canon phrase that many editors were uncomfortable interpreting as a term for complete beings.

::The fact that people were so split over this means the argument is likely to occur again. That was the point I was trying to make. Correct, if an official term is released, that would clear up the issue. However, that might be far off or never happen.[[User:Neo Bahamut|Neo Bahamut]] 20:58, 18 March 2012 (UTC) | ::The fact that people were so split over this means the argument is likely to occur again.

::Which is why we are going with "Entelechy". Unless an official term for a being with heart, mind, and body is released by Nomura, which would permanently end all debate, then the only possible way to debate the use of "entelechy" is if English becomes a dead language and linguists cannot agree on what the words of "that ancient and forgotten language" are supposed to mean. If that is to occur, an argument over what the beings should be called is the last of our worries.{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 22:11, 18 March 2012 (UTC) | |||
