Welcome
Hi, welcome to SaGa Wiki! Thanks for your edit to the User:FarelTheGecko page.

If you need help, and there are no local admins here, you may want to visit the forums on the Community Central Wiki -- Uberfuzzy (Talk) 21:11, 2010 March 24

If you want to revive the SaGa Wiki, I could help you. However, we should coordinate our actions. I'm a professionnal about all that is story-wise in the SaGa series, so leave it to me. (I've started with a "Main Plot" paragraph of RS3)Ramza.Beoulve 01:02, May 13, 2010 (UTC)Ramza.Beoulve

Hi~ let me know if you need any help. By the way, best way to know how templates work is toggling Source mode while editing a page which contains a template (that green puzzle piece thing) so that you can see how they're actually built and experiment yourself.


 * You mean, like this? [] Something I came up with in like 5 minutes...sorry if it looks kind of half-assed >~>; Overbend

Take it easy
As I mentioned this is more of a hobby for me than anything, I just thought I'd share some of the SaGa materials I've got (even moreso considering most of SaGa's backstory and artwork is found only in these books) to compensate for gamefaqs' lack of... fancy templates and images?

By the way, I have a difficult time (read:lazy) writing long paragraphs so feel free to add text or otherwise improve the pages I've created. SaGa fans seem to be more of a lurking type raher than active posters, still I assume that more people will start showing up as new, enticing content is added. Just a thought, but if you're up for the task one of us could also request adminship/bureaucrat rights since we're basically self-proclaimed owners of this place :P

Thanks
Thanks for the welcome! I saw someone with a link to this Wikia on the GameFAQs SaGa Frontier 2 board and thought I'd come and check it out. As I had nothing else to do at the time I started just tweaking pages, then I kind of got hooked and started adding articles. Protector Wind 10:28, August 26, 2010 (UTC)

Come on back
It's lonely here! :) ▫  Sir ISS   talk 22:09, December 5, 2011 (UTC)

Look...
I would come back, but

1) I don't have much idea what else to write

2) I go to college now. It's a hell pit of pain, I have almost no time for NOTHING! But there are some good news. In 2012 I might get my own appartment then I'd have a lot more free time, which I plan on spending to produce that long time promised "SaGa series retrospective" video, but for now, my life is going to be hell and I've got to live through it.

Fatestones
I've got the Ultimania guide from Japan. Are you a big Minstrel Song fan? ▫  Sir ISS   talk 13:37, December 6, 2011 (UTC)

Not exactly...
I admit, I am the first person to ever upload the "all 8 characters complete" video in English. And I keep playing it. I now try to beat 10 FateStone Saruin. But to be honest, all this stuff makes me HATE this game. I envy the people who can just beat it a few times and let go of it and remember it fondly, I however am a stupid idiot and always want to beat a game with all characters. Currently I try filling YouTube and BlipTV with videos of character playthroughs and other stuff which not every player will get. I don't want to act overly dramatic, but sometimes, by doing so, I feel like Jesus. Replaying this damn game is like thorn being struck into my arms, but I do it... for the players, cause I know some would get curious about some stupid stuff in the game and then would spend hours getting it and then feeling let-down. Like the scene at the end for NOT talking to any volunteer brigade member, EVER! I did it.

I also plan on making a big SaGa series retrospective video somewhere 2012 hopefully. Relax, I won't go too hard on Minstrel Song, but I will mention how horrible the replayability can get. 31.63.238.224 19:31, December 7, 2011 (UTC)

Oh wait, that last comment was me. But while we're at it, where did you get the guide? I have the american one and always was curious as to how the japanese one looked, apparently it even shows the lord of Bruelle, whom was absent in the real game!

ARGH stupid Wiki system, it torments me sooo!

FarelTheGecko 19:34, December 7, 2011 (UTC)

You HATE this game? I think I know what you mean, but try to see how charming it all is and maybe your plowing through it for the seventh time won't seem so terrible...Anyway, I've actually got TWO Japanese guidebooks (one is the Ultimania), that's how hard I fell for this game. They pretty much have everything. Let me know if there is an image that you would particularly like for me to scan and upload. :) ▫  Sir ISS   talk 15:24, December 16, 2011 (UTC)

Emerald
It's a weird mixed bag. I liked the game during the first few playthroughs, but now it's soooo boring. Right now I just beat my 8th character, but I just want to defeat 10 Fatestone Saruin NOW and get it over with once and for ALLLLLLLLLL!!!!! And then I'll make the big retrospective video. As for the guidebooks, you'd best tell me "overall" what kind of pics I could find there..... I KNOW HOW CRUEL I AM FOR SAYING THIS, but I just don't know what's in this book...

FarelTheGecko 21:03, December 16, 2011 (UTC)

You are certainly odd, but not cruel. Emerald's back. What game is this character from, so we can categorize it? ▫  Sir ISS   talk 21:12, December 16, 2011 (UTC)

She's from Unlimited Saga, a not playable character, but I'd still call her "kind of" significant to the plot.

http://saga.wikia.com/wiki/Unlimited_Saga

At the bottom in the "indexy thing" there she is under not-playable characters. If you didn't play the game, you should be careful with deleting sites, just saying. I do apreciate what you bring to this site, especially with me not being able to bring so much in right not with me being busy with college, but don't un-do what we used to do, bring to this thing.

FarelTheGecko 09:17, December 17, 2011 (UTC)

Sorry, my bad. It's just that all that was written on the page was: "Emerald is..."

What was I supposed to think?!? ▫  Sir ISS   talk 00:45, December 18, 2011 (UTC)

Sorry, I didn't know... I'll get down to editing it now I guess

FarelTheGecko 08:31, December 18, 2011 (UTC)

Doing okay
I'm okay, thanks. Nice to see you back here. I'll try to upload some images for the accompanying new articles (Elemental Lords, Jewel Beast, etc.). ▫  Sir ISS   talk 18:07, February 11, 2012 (UTC)

I wanted to say thanks
I see your not removing the links to the videos I've posted. Thanks man. I know it's little, but I really could use the traffic. And I do know that I could record videos of more popular games, but I settle on the SaGa series. Man... I am thinking of what I could do to get more attention to my videos, I'm really not sure of what to do.

FarelTheGecko 08:23, February 12, 2012 (UTC)

If you meant me, no problem. ▫  Sir ISS   talk 17:56, February 17, 2012 (UTC)

Dagul Bos edit
Hey Farel, saw your recent editing on the Dagul Bos page. I was going to edit the 'talk' section of the page but thought messaging you direct would be easier.

He is always in possession of the Gloves of Venus, regardless of the order of doing the Elemental Gears as the Gloves were kept in Vaftom are guarded by the Anubito (of which Bos is the leader). However, I'm unsure about the "get to keep the gloves if you win" bit. It's been a while since I played through Laura's story in the game, so I'm not 100% sure. I've left the line in at the moment, with a "[*verification needed]" in case it is true, but shy of playing the game upto that point to find out myself I'm not sure?!

 * Reply


 * Wow, I was worried I wrote a really REALLY bad thing. I wouldn't want to make such a mistake. I just so rarely come on here, so I felt like I should still deliver a contribution. Guess I should have replayed the game, we could technically ask ImBiggy from YouTube, he's an expert on the game.


 * FarelTheGecko 05:57, June 13, 2012 (UTC)


 * It's nothing serious, don't worry! It's always nice to see you/other people editing things. ImBiggy definitely knows his stuff, his solo Ventus run of the game on YouTube is insane! Protector Wind 08:05, June 13, 2012 (UTC)


 * Yeah, it's just a shame he doesn't reply to any of my messages that I send him on YouTube.

Hello
Figured I could do some sprucing up and adding around here. A wiki needs to have good English if others are going to visit. This place needs a lot of polishing. Letdragon (talk) 00:32, October 27, 2012 (UTC)

Well..

 * Yeah... I'm terrible with grammar, so you're much needed here.


 * FarelTheGecko (talk) 06:35, October 27, 2012 (UTC)

I don't quite understand what you mean about the JA version of this wiki. A lot of the info I'm putting here is translated from other sources, so I wouldn't be surprised, but it's not like I'm plagarizing or anything. Elliott20 (talk) 02:14, November 15, 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, I know, but I'm just saying... this used to be a wiki that was dying. I brought it back to life and now it's flourishing, plus now even a Japanese version of it. That kind of makes me a little proud :)

Forgetful Founder here
Hei finally got your message on my page. I started this Wiki on a drunken whim then forgot about it due to constant travel, work, etc. And the fact I couldn't remember my user or email didn't help. Lol. I had meant to make it one for the entire series I was just too lazy the day I made it to do more than for the game I was playing at the time. Glad other people picked up the site and ran with it in my absence I really suck at these things. Haha ^^; Once things settle down at my end I'll finally contribute more and touch some things up. Anyways thanks for all your work!


 * Well you don't need to contribute much, no pressure, heh. And also I myself don't work that much anymore. College is painful.... but I keep having my dream of one day making a video retrospective on the whole SaGa series in which I'd promote this site to hopefully enrich it even further!
