Talk:Sphere Grid

FFX Wiki Cleanup
After the merger with the Pyreflies article, I've been thinking "Do we really need all these FFX pages?" I know FFX goes into a lot more detail about the world than most Final Fantasy games, to say nothing of how much more detail it goes into than most games in general. That said, despite all that's been done to improve it, Wikipedia looks like a Final Fantasy fansite. Cloud's page looks like a biography, Advent Children's looks like the reports that came out of Venice when the film was first screened there, just yesterday I had to merge Ultima Weapon with Weapons, and here we've got eight pages talking about Final Fantasy X alone; that's not including character pages:


 * Final Fantasy X
 * Spira
 * Yevon
 * Blitzball
 * Al Bhed
 * Sphere Grid
 * Fayth
 * Final Fantasy X: Original Soundtrack

I'm not excluding the other Final Fantasies from this either. Final Fantasy VIII and Final Fantasy IX are actually decently condensed, I believe, but Final Fantasy VII is another guilty offender. Until recently, the bloody Sister Ray even had its own article, Midgar should be merged with List of Final Fantasy VII Locations, and Materia should be merged with Mako.

I'm going to be making some proposals over on the Final Fantasy VII pages too, but here, I think the following ideas should be considered:


 * Blitzball should be merged with Spira if in any way possible; maybe at the very end.
 * Al Bhed should be merged with Races of Final Fantasy (not a lot to say there to begin with, and plenty of overlap of material).
 * Sphere Grid should be merged with Final Fantasy X (applies to only this game, and there's already overlap of material).
 * Fayth should be merged with Yevon (there's really not much to say about the Fayth without talking about Yevon in the first place).
 * Final Fantasy X Original Soundtrack should be merged with Final Fantasy X (how did it even get its own page to begin with?).

I'm for the Yevon page staying, and if there's a lot of objections to the Final Fantasy X Original Soundtrack page being merged out of individuality, so be it (can't see what there is to say about it that can't be said on the Final Fantasy X page, though); that would still take us from eight down to four.

I haven't even looked at the character pages that much, really, but I'm not going to worry about them for now. What's everyone's thoughts on this stuff? (Please direct discussion of these matters to the Final Fantasy X Talk Page) Ryu Kaze 08:47, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
