Talk:Rogue Galaxy

Poor Quality
I was reading through this article because I played this game a few years ago and forgot the plot. What I was presented with was poorly written, it sounds like a Japanese fan tried to write it in English. It gets even worse when you get to the part about the characters. Could an expert on this game who is fluent in English revise all the grammar eyesores? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.160.213.253 (talk) 01:05, 21 October 2012 (UTC)

SW References
I removed a paragraph because although it meant that RG makes references to "many" sci-fi works, Star Wars is the only one mentioned. Also, that section is about the Plot and Story alone.

If the Star Wars reference is mentioned because it's the easiest (as whoever wrote it, "obvious") to spot, then it's better to wait for SCEA/Level-5 to complete their US localization and release before putting it back there.

And it would be wise to make it a point that Rogue Galaxy does not "rip-off" elements from Star Wars but rather, makes an allusion/reference/homage to them. Furthermore, consider watching Disney's Treasure Planet as it's likely to have also been made an allusion in RG (and Robert Louis Stevenson's adventure novel "Treasure Island").

Also consider this statement for possible/future inclusion in the article:

(Akihiro Hino talked at length about his company's newest PlayStation 2 project, Rogue Galaxy. (...) He explained that Level 5 chose the title Rogue Galaxy because the protagonist will eventually team up with bad guys only to fight other bad guys.) http://rpgfan.com/news/2005/1872.html —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 201.29.183.201 (talk • contribs) 16:44, November 2, 2006 (UTC)

Once you get to more depth of story line, its not much like star wars or treasure planet.

Note On European Version
Until we get more info on the U.K version -- please do not add the release date. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Zeta26 (talk • contribs) 21:01, January 9, 2007 (UTC)

Speaking of the UK release date, since when was it moved back from June to September? The official word is still June:

http://uk.playstation.com/games-media/games/detail/item36753/Rogue-Galaxy/

Could whoever changed the release date provide a source? Philtrauferson 17:14, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Okay, I'm changing the release date back to June. I can't find any source which says September. If I am wrong, feel free to correct me, but no-one seems very enthusiastic to do so right now. Philtrauferson 22:10, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Official Playstation 2 Magazine UK says the release date is September on it's review of the game (although in another part of the magazine it says August). Leemorrison 15:16, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
 * sigh* I worried this was so. I added a bit about the unclarity of the release date a few days ago. Guess I'll need to keep waiting...

Philtrauferson 18:07, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I was so pissed off about it I punched the magazine! Seriously, it was bad enough when I thought it was out in March and it wasn't. Leemorrison
 * Hey, hey! 29 June! A little more reasonable, and sourced too! Leemorrison 18:04, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
 * So where's the source? Don't tell me you mean the official European PlayStation site? I can still remember they added Tales of the Abyss, Xenosaga III and .hack//G.U. all with the same release date. Those games weren't even confirmed for EU release. I just visited them again and noticed they wrote the word Tensei in Shin Megami Tensei wrong. They don't know what the heck they're talking about. Anyone have some actual proof of this release date? I'm done waiting. SoulSlayer 06:41, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
 * totally, Gamespot says it's june 2007. 81.175.74.129 06:46, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
 * The person who put up June 29 said in the history of the page that this was the source. Leemorrison 14:37, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I've never heard of that site before. Unfortunately, I think that's just another guess. 29th is ten days away, and Sony don't seem to be preparing for the launch at all. Look at the GAME website, they don't even have a listing for it. I think we're going to be let down again. Philtrauferson 22:46, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
 *  Leemorrison 11:39, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

S--t, look at IGN! and gamestracker! Love/Hate Level 5! ARRGH! Leemorrison 11:49, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Given the proved unreliability of previous release dates for the EU version, even from so called official sources such as the Playstation Europe site, I wonder if we should not simply state on the page that the release date is very uncertain. The number of times it has shown to be incorrect once the date arrived is becoming a joke. It has moved about once every 2 months since November 2006, if not more frequently. Official sources who consistently show to be incorrect loose credibility as a reliable source and should be treated that way. I propose to remove the date of 29 June 2007, and any other 'sourced guess' until we see more convincing signs of the true release date actually approaching. AberforthD 23:40, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

I think we need to email Sony to get their word on this, though I can't find an email address to send it to. If someone can get a relevant email address, I'll send a polite email. No saying if they'll reply though. Sorry if this is a bit un-wikipedia-y. Philtrauferson 00:37, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

AberforthD, you're probably right. I say keep the 29 June off the article for now. Leemorrison 22:47, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, Amazon.co.uk have changed the release date from 30 June to 28 September. I think we can take this as a definitive sign that the date of 29 June is not going to happen. I hope we will see this game in Europe before PS4 is launched... AberforthD 09:52, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I changed the wording of the European release date. I admit that the official word is still June 2007 but we cannot ignore other sources who have recently changed the release date. Most sources at the moment seem to agree on September 2007. I added a remark that the EU release of this game has known a history of postponements because I think the reader who has not been following the history of the changing release dates should be made aware of that fact. AberforthD 01:27, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't know why but my edits keep being reverted. I am editing in good faith. Is there a lock on this page? I wanted to rephrase it as follows: "The European release was initially expected in 2006 put after a series of postponements it is now scheduled for release in September of 2007." Why does it keep reverting back?
 * OK I managed to insert that new phrase, but I cannot remove the now outdated sentence after it. Can somebody with more power do that, please? AberforthD 01:52, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Done, though I have no more power than you. --GargoyleMT 11:54, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Combat Comparisons
I removed "Star Ocean" from the combat section as Star Ocean's battles, although using the same graphics as out of battle, do use transitions. Also, although I did not remove either of them, Kingdom Hearts II and Final Fantasy XII are significantly different in combat due to the ATB time delay in Final Fantasy XII between attacks (as opposed to Kingdom Hearts II's more fluid and seamless combat system). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.51.88.231 (talk • contribs) 12:43, April 4, 2007

Rogue galaxy is better than kingdom hearts 2 and final fantasy XII

Uhh?
I've noticed that when talking about the characters, somone added in rather useless information about how useful/useless certain characters are and how their skills are useful/useless.

Shouldn't this be less about how the author views a character and more about just the character?

I'd change it myself...but...well...meh.

 * Yes, the article isn't meant to be a strategy guide. The spoilers also seem... out of place.  There's probably something to be kept, rather than simply reverting to the earlier character descriptions.  --GargoyleMT 20:06, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Media
The US version, at least, is dual-layer, I'm fairly sure. I've no verifiable source, but it's a pretty big deal among people who try to pirate it. Beaumains 22:36, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
 * It was also a pretty big deal for me too when I imported the game. I actually pre-ordered it months in advance, but wasn't able to play it because Swap Magic doesn't support it. What is it with Sony and their DVD9 games? Well, I added it to the list. It's silly to source this. SoulSlayer 12:37, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Burton
I believe Burton should belong in the Other Characters section. he shows up more times than other characters and helps out the crew by telling them about ancient legends. Either he should be added, or people like Angela and Miri should be taken out. BioYu-Gi! 18:58, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

With out Angela or Miri the other character woulndn't join the crew so they should stay in. User:Teyachi 18:58, 15 january 2008 (UTC)

Characters/Planets
Some guy removed the list of planets and characters. That doesn't make sense to me, as every other video game article lists the characters. At the very least the main 8 need to be put back in, I don't know about the planets. For other examples of video game articles with characters, see Jet Set Radio Future and Dragon Quest 8. BioYu-Gi! 00:54, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Another thing to go with that, what's the point of having the voice actors if there are no character names? We don't need every voice actor, we could just do the 8 main acharacters and put the voice actors in their section. BioYu-Gi! 18:50, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

They needed new stuff to start out. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Teyachi (talk • contribs) 03:19, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
