Talk:Drop System
Most of this is more suited to go on the Gauges page in my opinion. The only thing that is irrelevant on the gauge page is the stuff about the Relay Bonuses. Thoughts? TheFifteenthMember 16:12, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
- I think you're right. We should mantain only the first line, and make the word "Drop Gauge" link to the Gauges page. In fact, the descripition of the bar colors, for example, is more detailed and simple there. We should just add some more info there. Relay bonus should be mantained here, and a new image of the Drop Gauge should be added, as well as an image of the gauge during "Bonus Time". - MateusinhoEX, 16:52, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
Nope. This is an entire mechanic, not just a gauge. We don't redirect Shotlock or Drive Form to Gauges, you know (although Drive Gauge should be redirected). Possibly the design of the gauge could be relocated, but not the mechanics. This article should also have a story section. --Neumannz, The Dark Falcon 07:37, 17 February 2013 (UTC)
- So, do you think the mechanics section is good? I mean, I know it needs expansion, but we don't need to remove the info about the Gauge and put it on the Gauges page? Just update the gauges page? And the Story sectino would contain, for example, the first drops of both Sora and Riku, right? - MateusinhoEX, 11:19, 17 February 2013 (UTC)
That's a good point, NZ. However I think it will be necessary to have Gauges under the See Also section at least. TheFifteenthMember 13:33, 17 February 2013 (UTC)
Tutorial text
Dropping Between Characters In this game, you will alternate between Sora and Riku to progress through the story. To drop, or switch, between characters, just touch the DROP button on the pause screen or the main menu.
The Drop Gauge The Drop Gauge continues to decrease as you explore the field. Sleep and other negative statuses will cause your Drop Gauge to drain more quickly. When the gauge runs out, you will enter Bonus Time, and Droplets will appear more often. After Bonus Time ends, you will drop into the next character.
Earn Bonuses with Drop Points When you drop, a screen will appear where you can spend Drop Points (DP) to give the next character a boost. There are three ways to earn DP: *Collect these Droplets. *Find and complete this Link Portal. *Collect this lucky item.
Bonus name
The title of the bonus screen is "Relay Bonus", but when a new one is unlocked, such as after Riku saves Shiki, the notice says "New drop bonuses unlocked". (Also the Ultimania calls it "drop bonus".) What do we call it, then? --Neumannz, The Dark Falcon 05:38, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
- The menu were we pick "Drop Bonuses" is the "Relay Bonus" menu. So, we call the bonuses "Drop Bonuses", while the menu is called "Relay Bonus" menu/screen. Or we could also write "The Relay Bonus screen (also known as Drop Bonus screen)." I think this is a good start point. - MateusinhoEX 12:59, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
