Trivia Section[edit]

Just so theres no confusion, the "final boss" music mentioned - listen part way through the song - the Anime's theme music is definately in there.

  • I would've thought the rest are obvious. --ACE Spark 01:10, 1 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding this statement:

"Much like Mega Man X6, Capcom made no effort to translate the Japanese voices used in Transmission, and in many cases where it was too difficult to work around them (such as characters referring to "Rockman"), the voices were omitted altogether."

That's probably because this game was partially designed as a tie-in to the anime (which for some incomprehensible reason was renamed "Megaman NT Warrior" in the U.S.); it even has the anime's copyright message (referring to "Shogakukan" and "TV Tokyo"). Translating the voices would have meant using the English anime voices, and that IMO would not be acceptable, and besides, Capcom USA didn't want any connection to anime. So, either way it couldn't be helped. However, this is just an informed opinion using what I know, so I won't say anything in the article. Brittany Ka 17:29, 24 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Rephrasing and Removal[edit]

In this edit, I've slightly rewritten the added closing in the plot pharagraph to tie this game in with the second gba installment, so there's no confusion concerning canon. I also completely removed the navi section; I believe there's a character article for series around somewhere, so they can be elaborated upon there. It sounded akin to a game guide or something. -Randall Brackett 20:46, 30 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Branching Storyline[edit]

The current "Plot" section is written as though the only possible path through the game is by saving Zero.exe. Someone needs to rewrite it to acknowledge the plot path in which Zero.exe is destroyed. Even a rewrite with no mention of the possibility of saving Zero.exe would make more sense than the current version, since most first-time players aren't going to stumble on the means of saving him unless they're playing with a walkthrough.--Martin IIIa (talk) 05:55, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion[edit]

Regarding the issues:

  1. 1(b): per MOS:ABBR "an acronym or initialism should be written out in full the first time it is used on a page, followed by the abbreviation in brackets". Eg., instead of "PET (PErsonal Terminal)" the article should read as "personal terminal (PET)" or (probably) "personal terminal (PET)". (In this example I would also drop quotation marks: they are not needed.)
 Done ~ Hibana (talk) 12:02, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  1. 1(b): the references should follow the same date format.
Which date formats are out of sync? ~ Hibana (talk) 12:02, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, I must have mistaken something. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 12:34, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  1. 2(c): references 5-9 (as of this revision) constitute original research, as they just cite the phrases from the game itself. I would suggest to remove them and find the real references for the last paragraph.
I'm not sure I understand how this constitutes original research, as citing the game itself through this template is a generally accepted practice per the video game project guidelines. Plot details for video games are very difficult to source otherwise. I, as well as numerous fellow editors, have gotten several articles to GA using this method. Some FAs (see Chrono Cross, Golden Sun, etc.) use it as well. ~ Hibana (talk) 12:02, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Didn't notice that. Sorry. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 12:34, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Otherwise the article looks great. Good work! — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 12:17, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
