Talk:Story mission subplots

New Talk

Just to make sure - I'm guessing this exists on the English servers now. - Miraglyth 10:17, 30 August 2008 (CDT)

On another note, it doesn't seem as though there's been a decision regarding spoilers yet. Considering this is a wiki, wording such as "The content of this scene changes slightly depending on your grade." which (I understand) results in different scenes depending on whether you got a B, A or S, seems quite vague. - Miraglyth 10:17, 30 August 2008 (CDT)

• Needs more episode numbers over names for the sake of clarity. D: Maybe just putting the names in the wiki inter-links while using more numbers for readability? EP3 ch5 act1, EP3 5-1, 3-5-1-, EP3 mission 5 part 1, anything. I dunno if this is just me because I've been so alienated from the game, but since you're also supposed to backtrack to old missions for the sub-plot, I think this would make things more clear. - Tycho 17:58, 7 April 2008 (CDT)
  • There we go. Changed things over to stuff like EP3 Ch.4-2. I think it looks pretty nice. :) - EspioKaos 20:14, 7 April 2008 (CDT)
    • Is there any reason to not leave both the name and numeric notation in there? And maybe cut out a couple of the spoilers? - Sekani 20:26, 7 April 2008 (CDT)
      • Having the chapter name mixed with the numeric notation might be too much. But I guess it kind of depends on how it's presented. EP3 Ch.3-2: Will of Light, EP3 Ch.3: Will of Light 2, etc. Did you have any specifics in mind? On the spoilers, I was thinking of doing a new spoiler tag to stick at the top of the page. I'm sure I could also do some rewording to cover up a few plot points. - EspioKaos 21:41, 7 April 2008 (CDT)

A few things to say about this article myself:

• To my knowledge the game has used both "EP" and "Ch." so the notation currently being used is perfect. I suspect this was a result of Espio knowing this too though!
• Once or twice we've mentioned trying to get a "Spoiler, click to view" style button in. I can't remember how those concluded but this (and a couple parts of Episode 2, one of which I ended up using a simple highlight-to-see method for) would be one of the places that could make use of it.
• Regardless of that, this article could perhaps use a generic "Spoiler article" infobox the same way we have existing Guide and April Fools boxes (though the image of the latter wasn't terribly relevant :P)
  • Edit: Oh, yeah. Would it also be an idea to have a "Future content" box? "This article is about a game element that will become available in the future", the same way we once had boxes that read "This will be available to AOTI."
• On the subject of the article itself: This is very interesting stuff to me. I wonder if this subplot system will be used to prevent screwing people out of things PSO-style, or if it's just a more elaborate way of doing it. Clearly I hope for the former :P if the subplots aren't repeatable then that's already a recipe for disaster, for example. - Miraglyth 07:13, 8 April 2008 (CDT)
• So far it looks like there's no choosing in the plot yet, which would be great. Anyway, a 'future content' template seems good, but.. a spoiler one? Wouldn't it be pretty obvious that visiting a plot-related article on a game wiki might contain info about the game? So far it still seems pretty modest actually. >_> - Tycho 11:10, 8 April 2008 (CDT)
• On Sekani's changes: that works for me. Honestly, any of the three ways we've used will be fine with me. - EspioKaos 15:07, 8 April 2008 (CDT)
