Talk:Dark Seeker Saga

Official Name

Just wanted to clarify, but Nomura (in interviews) has revealed that the official name of the Xehanort saga is actually "The Seeker of Darkness Chronicles." The page needs to be moved.

It's actually, "Dark Seeker Chronicles", what you have there is a fan-translation. You have wormed your way to the very nadir of repugnance. - Erry 07:59, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

...Both are correct. You can't translate word-for-word Japanese to English. Regardless, page needs to be moved.

...do you know Japanese? The title was in Katakana, which is designed to approximate English words; it's essentially for them what Romaji is to us. There was no Japanese grammar involved.

Lazy translations like that is what had the fandom believing BS like that the winner's proof was named "13 Mushroom" for several years.

In any case, in order to perform the move we need a citation to the interview (the original, not a fansite translation), and we need to confirm that the Dark Seeker Chronicles cover everything up to and including KHIII, as with the Xehanort Saga."We're werewolves, not swearwolves."

It's directly mentioned in the interview that the Xehanort Saga (ゼアノート編) is officially called Dark Seeker Saga (Dark Seeker編)/Seeker of Darkness Saga (闇の探求者編) for the games released until now. If we don't change the page's name to wait for the localized title, we should at least acknowledge it there. ShardofTruth 00:22, 20 October 2012 (UTC)

I'll go ahead and move it, but what is the interview?"We're werewolves, not swearwolves." (KrytenKoro) 06:37, 20 October 2012 (UTC)

It's a relatively new Dengeki interview with Nomura, you can find the original here and a translation by goldpanner here. ShardofTruth 10:15, 20 October 2012 (UTC)

The only usage of "Saga" that I can find in that article refers to the "Dark Seeker編" (written in English), with the full kanji one used later as reverse furigana. Where does the katakana for "Dark Seeker" come from? and why was this claimed to be from a Famitsu article? Also, I've corrected the article accordingly."We're werewolves, not swearwolves."

On a related note, they are claiming that "Unbirth" was written in English at one point; they gave me a link to Nomura's original explanation in the DK?3713 2008 Famitsu issue, and said SQEXgal might have scans. I tweeted her, but if anyone can find the scans that would be awesome."We're werewolves, not swearwolves." (KrytenKoro) 04:11, 21 October 2012 (UTC)

Characters

It might be more useful to list the seven guardians and thirteen seekers as two characters (a mosaic would be fine for this, with Black Coat guy filling the blank seats), and then possibly list other major characters."We're werewolves, not swearwolves." (KrytenKoro) 21:58, 20 October 2012 (UTC)

KHX

What is the source for the claim that KHX is part of the Dark Seeker Saga?"We're werewolves, not swearwolves." (KrytenKoro) 01:49, 13 June 2015 (UTC)
