The Animals article
I'm not entirely sure on the name of this article. It's purpose is to cover the use of real world animals in the game? right? If you go into things such as Chimera and such then that simply belongs in a trivia section of those respective pages in my opinion.~ dkpat 10:15, 26 February 2011 (CST)


 * Oh, that? Man, that's an ooooold idea of mine. I'm not even sure if I'd want to go through with it anymore. Besides, what I posted here was a work-in-progress. I think I even stated that I was considering removing the mythological section. P.S. The main reason I haven't taken it down is because, at this point in time, my laptop's charger is busted so I can't save the current version onto my computer.

HP's notes
Okay, let me explain some things about what I've written (after all, this is a work in progress):


 * Most lists in this potential article are underdeveloped. All I got done so far is making the actual lists (which may very well be incomplete), and haven't added any details. In other words, imagine if List of Long Swords was just that: a list of all Long Swords, no information about them, just a list.
 * Parenthetical notes under the List of animal species, List of animals by location, and Trading sequence animals sections were mostly there so that I wouldn't forget, and shouldn't be included in the real article.
 * Nereid rides on a large turtle, and the only whale in the game is Neptune.
 * The word spring refers to the Lucky Medal Fountains.
 * It's easy to forget which animal appears on which Islet.
 * I don't know what that line is doing partway through the Animals and monsters section. I made a few hyphens there (the Animals and monsters section) to remind me that I wanted to put something in there, but I can't remember any more than that.
 * The question marks in the Monsters list mean I'm unsure if they should be in the list or not. The more ?'s, the more unsure (I kept it to two tiers in this case, but sometimes I do more).
 * The description for the Chimera was originally meant to be used mid-paragraph. I think it was an example of a monster that resembles an animal, but then gave birth to the mythological animals section. Long story short, it needs a serious rewrite. Again, the parenthesis are personal notes: I intended to return to rewrite this and maybe add some more, especially something about the wings.

I hope that clears things up a bit. The world&#39;s hungriest paperweight 04:53, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Breakable Equipment
I'm not sure I agree with this template. It doesn't seem like it is needed at all. Usable equipment I could understand more. ~ dkpat 17:01, 31 March 2011 (CDT)


 * They're pretty much the same thing, except that I'd have to toss in the Trident of Ankohl. I just named them "Breakable Equipment" because I thought, since I made a template for cursed items, there should be one for items that can be broken. If it's just the name you're uncomfortable with, we can change that. The World&#39;s Hungriest Paperweight 17:13, 31 March 2011 (CDT)
 * Well, since it only excludes The Trident just rename and throw it in. That I am OK with. It seems to me that calling it breakable is just categorizing for the sake of having categories, not for usability purposes.~ dkpat 17:33, 31 March 2011 (CDT)
