Forum:Design vs. Appearance

Forums: Index > The World that Never was > Design vs. Appearance

The Inexistent - All the world's a puzzle, and I the one who made it so... TALK - EVIL has come... at last... So... the other day I was reading a Heartless article, and I got to the amazing design section written by Lapis, and I wondered, "if a Heartless is technically alive, and since it's not an inanimate object, shouldn't the 'design' section be 'appearance'?". Since I'm finding a time to do thhe audit, I would probably have time to change all of them over if you guys concur with this section title change. My main is reasoning is more "this is an item, so it has a design. This, on the other hand, is a character, so it has an appearance. A Heartless or Nobody is more similar to a character than an item, therefore it should have an appearance, not a design.

SilverCrono Well, I can tell who you are. — "Oh, you mean I was supposed to lie." "Lea, we don't have time for this." — 20:58, 24 May 2011 (EDT) I would say use Appearance for more...recognized characters, and Design for things the player doesn't take as much time getting to know and relating with. For example, Appearance for Sora, Design for Sora's Heartless. But that's just me, and if anybody comes up with a better argument, I'm all there.

I would say that "Appearance" is for characters and near-characters (which might include Maleficent's goons...) and "Design" is for enemies that don't fit in that. --Neumannz, The Dark Falcon 21:07, 24 May 2011 (EDT)

Look at it this way: if we wrote an article about an animal, would it be appearance or design? KRCCFNF is tired of being STEPPED ON. 22:01, 24 May 2011 (EDT)

You don't "design" an animal. --Ag (Silver) - 47 107.8682 amu ~Crono 22:05, 24 May 2011 (EDT)
