Talk:Siren (video game)

Voice acting rehash
I dont see the point in adding that the voice acting was bad due to the charactera being japanese and the voices being british. Its an extremely juvinile thing to write considering the array of translated games out there. I'm removing that senseless line, you americans rly need to calm down. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.179.61.253 (talk) 09:49, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

Shibito are 屍人, not 死人
It's a small difference, but 死人 is already a word, "shinin", which is quite literally a corpse. 屍人, shibito, which as best as I can tell, is an original word, is more like "Corpse person". Check the kanji against the Japanese Section. I'll change it, unless someone takes issue with it. --Col.clawhammer 09:26, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Shibito / Character Images
Would it be alright if we uploaded images of characters and shibito if they were poor quality, because I have no other way of getting the images without a digital camera. I just wanted to check before doing it. サイレン 16:54, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Of questionable value
I just removed a block of text that was poorly written and kind of juvenile. I'll paste it here in talk, inside an HTML comment after this message. Edit this talk to see it. If you see value in the excerpt, rewrite it and repost it. Personally, I don't see any helpful information in this text. Oed 07:04, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

--- It's really More opinion than fact, although the game did recieve a critical mauling mainly due to the western voice acting and a few other features of the game engine. Could perhaps be neutrally re-written in a much more concise fashion under a 'critical reception' section. Also if anyone can explain why the text I inserted into 'Main characters' as regards Mina Onda was removed, please do. EDIT: In fact, a huge chunk of the games story and other edits (to characters and Shibito descriptions) I made were removed as well. While they weren't spectacularly well-written, they were far more factually correct than some of the stuff in the current version. I was actually intending to tidy them up. Daigo Kazama III

Cleanup
I've shortened most of the character bios and removed some of the irrelevant ones (For example: Do we need bios for Tomoko's parents who have about two lines in the whole game? No) Before anyone complains, there was way too much unsourced O.R. in the text anyway and the whole thing read like a fansite (And I should know - I wrote most of the original text of the article myself). It needed to be shorter and less speculative, and have bios for less redundant characters. Daigo 14:58, 7 August 2007 (UTC) -- Red links removed on 06 january 2007 12:22

 * "Plot": removal of trivia and some OR/speculation.
 * "Development": major expansion.
 * "Reception": addition of more reviews and substitution of massive amount of direct speech with indirect speech (selective use of direct speech when absolutely needed). Hula Hup (talk) 17:40, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

Fahrenheit
I see this upcoming release listed, but it's supposed to be a HD remaster rather than an emulated PS2 release. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:6000:A643:D600:68B0:A887:A5DB:349C (talk) 03:18, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
