==Todo summary==
==Feeling Lucky==
When dealt with, delete, do not archive.
Okay, I still don't know how this works exactly. So I'm collecting evidence here:
 
*Confirm number of parts matched for each "Avatar comment".
*Confirm whether manipulating your clock affects the -3/hr penalty.
*Confirm whether n_l resets or maxes out.
*p326: Note about getting letters from the same friend and ensemble. Should probably translate.
*Translate p329 Card prizes - Commands and all go on their pages; make general list explanation here.
*Translate p335 section based on Prize Blox - list on relevant command pages, not here.
*Explain floor code specifications within the section; most of it will link to the actual system sector page.
*Add short explanation of "Genre" and "Parts replaced" to Avatar Parts section.
*Add column listing all parts used in each ensemble.
*Add to Data-Riku's boss page that the bugged version is LV99 - source p326.
 
 
I'll work on the translations. Shard, can you please test the 3hr penalty and n_l questions (for n_l, you should be getting viruses every time once you have 200 letters total, which you have; if not, then estimate how often you get viruses, I assume about 50%). DTN, I need you to tell me exactly how far you've gotten with the Avatar comment thing. It should realistically take two hours to complete, so if you don't have that time, you need to tell one of us.

== Avatar Parts last copyedit ==
[http://www.khwiki.net/index.php?title=Avatar_Menu&action=historysubmit&diff=484109&oldid=484032 Here]
 
I'm going to go ahead and say that I didn't confirm the nihongo for each one with the Ultimania, but the ones I did were right (except Sora B at the beginning). Still, they can't be that far off, since they are all legible.
 
I relaxed the literalization of "の" to be treated as an adjectival form for some cases (basically, whenever the dub used it that way). I hope that's acceptable, since it removes a lot of mostly useless "lit" sections.
 
Wanpi/su: translate as "Sundress" (best english translation I could come up with based on knowledge of clothing terms), or allow give and take for whatever type of dress the dub thinks it's using? Or translate phonetically as One-piece in all cases?
 
Same thing with "Uwagi", though that has a much more acceptable translation as the generic "Top".
 
Facial Hair: Japanese really doesn't separate the various types, so it just feels pedantic to me to use "lit" when the only problem is that there isn't an exact Japanese word for that type of facial hair. I'd like to remove the lit tags for those listed below, where applicable (possibly not Eraqus).
 
Boushi: In some cases, Kyappu or Hatto is used for Cap and Hat, and "Bou" is usually translated as Cap. Thus, I'm fine with modifying the lit for the W Mushroom and Seifer, but also fine with leaving it how it is.
 
Piasu: Studs and Piercings and Earrings of that sort are just called "Piasu" in nihongo (there doesn't appear to be a dedicated word for "stud", and all variants I can find use piasu). However, we translate "Ability Piasu" as Ability Earring, not the dub's "Ability Stud". Can we let Stud slide here, and on the Ability Stud page?
 
Boa-dzuke: Based on image searches, I feel pretty confident that lined could be reasonable. However, there are no direct translations on the web, and the closest I could come to an accurate translation would be "{{w|feather boa|Boa}}d Boots".


Finally: the comments with Goofy D's Mouth and Luxord's Goatee. Does the Ultimania have the wrong order, according to the game, or do we?
There seem to be at least two forms of the stat upgrade.

I don't know if the one with the notes is a lesser one or just a different form.
I can't help much with the translation, but the order of Goofy D's Mouth and Luxord's Goatee is indeed wrong, I messed up. --[[User:ShardofTruth|ShardofTruth]] 17:48, 12 April 2011 (EDT)


{{neumannz|time=01:56, 18 April 2011 (EDT)|text=My response is as follows:
This are the comments on other Avatars I got:
*That outfit! Ugh, don't make eye contact...
*Err, can you say "akward"?
*Hopefully a friendship is in the cards.
*But...which one of you is cooler?
*You hate to admit it, but that outfit's the bomb!


#RE: の — All things considered, it makes sense to do it like that.
*Have you met before? You're pretty happy!
#RE: Wanpisu — I'm gonna point out that I hate this one. Its translation is basically "dress", but it gets there via "one-piece". ''(Argh.)'' Maybe we should just go with "dress" and leave it alone.
*You have alot in common. You're pretty happy!
#RE: Uwagi — Yeah, I think that's fine.
*You sort of think alike. You're pretty happy!
#RE: Hige — I'm quite not so hot on letting this one go. I know I find it weird when I come across "''hige''" being translated annoyingly, or "beard" and "mustache" being wanked around in translation (See [http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Whitebeard <span style="background:white">Whitebeard</span>])
*Seems you two get along. You're pretty happy!
#RE: Boushi — Not sure. As far as I can tell, "cap" is a specific type of hat. I guess I could go either way (I notice, by the way, you didn't put a lit. for Donald's Cap), but if "''boushi''" is as general as I think it is, do we let the translation be fluid, or  do we just say it's "hat"...?
#RE: Piasu — Hate this one, too, for basically the same reason as for #2. Same issue applies, plus the issue from #5. I'm alright with translating it as "earring", but again, I don't know how fluid we should be.
#RE: Boa-dzuke — Important question: What is "boa" in this case? If it is like the {{w|Feather boa|<span style="background:white">scarf</span>}}, maybe we should just have it as "boa'd boots" (yes, the apostrophe is important) and leave it as that. Include the wikipedia link, maybe?
#RE: Numbering order — SOLVED


One concern of my own: I would actually like someone to check up on the names of Tidus's parts, both A and B. Specifically which ones are A and B. There are inconsistencies I found that I want to be sure of.}}
The last ones all contain the "You're pretty happy!" line. My theory is, that after you get a specific amount of this comments in a to be determined time frame, you get a stat boost. The stat boost itself seems to last for a defined playtime or is dependent from real time. I think it's the last, because the boost vanished after two days or so. --[[User:ShardofTruth|ShardofTruth]] 11:01, 28 February 2011 (EST)


*Although dictionaries define "Wanpi" simply as dress, it specifically refers to dresses of a certain length; the closest analog I could find in English is the sundress (again, I am by no means experience with female clothes).
Okay, this is probably totally coincidence, but:
*I'm good with your take on uwagi and hige.
*"Boushi" is kind of a bigger hat, while "bou" is a smaller hat, from what I've seen. (Donald was a mistake, we can fix it).
*So, are you good with translating "Piasu" as both Earring and Stud (since they are both translated as piasu?)? Here ''and'' on Ability Stud?
*As far as I can tell, yes, it is a feather boa. The thing is that those boots are simply lined boats, from what I saw on google. I agree that I'd be more comfortable calling them boa'd boots, though.

== Floor Code table ==
I was farming the fifty special avatars to finish my Avatar Sector, and when I received a Sazh, who had none of the same parts I did, I got the 100 Acre Wood card. Immediately afterward, I had the notes, and each Scratch Card I got afterward had a Mickey or Captain Dark (I already have all 99 puppies). After a few, I got a virus, kept on farming without notes or special cards, then cleared the virus real quick and went back to farming, this time with notes but no special cards. A while later, I got an ILuvDarkness avatar, and got the hearts. I ''immediately'' got a Dive to the Heart card, my first "special card" ever, and though I lost it, I kept the hearts, and every scratch card after that had 1-2 special cards (none were empty). However, I accidentally quit out of Tag Mode while receiving a random avatar, and I went to delete it to make sure I had room for all fifty special avatars. However, after doing so I found I had lost the hearts.

So, this is totally a guess, but:
*The notes and hearts appear to have nothing to do with which parts you and the other guy are wearing.
*The type of card you get appears to be Luck-based.
*Either failing to scratch or deleting a floor (not sure which) negates the notes and hearts.

- Red - 凶暴化 Berserked
That's very confusing. Maybe it's an overall luck based thing, but why does deleting (even if it's not the Avatar you got the notes/hearts from) resets it?
Did you check your matrix stats in notes or heart form? --[[User:ShardofTruth|ShardofTruth]] 12:57, 8 March 2011 (EST)
:With notes, Luck remains the same, but I didn't have hearts long enough to check that.{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 13:30, 8 March 2011 (EST)

ルームのNo.と形の対応はP.215~217を、ゴールドトリコローマやエリミネーターの詳細な出現条件はP.198を参照
Okay, from personal experience, I believe the way that Genre works is that, when you get a random part (either from an avatar where you already have all their parts, or a scratch card), you usually get them in a certain order. I know that I got all of the BbS and Form parts together, the Keyblades together, and all of the Mobile/coded bodysuits last (in chapter order, as well). Once I had every piece, it just kept giving me random parts of Ansem and Large Body.


So, I would roughly guess that it draws from the parts in the genre you are currently in, then moves on to the next genre. Once you have them all, it stays in the genre you finished in. (So, any random parts I would get would be C parts). I'm sure the intro to the section explains the exact mechanic, and I can work on a rough translation if you guys desire, but that seems to basically be it.


Room types - p 191?
Anyway: Given that, despite this, the parts you get are out of your control, and the system is essentially "just go through the Avatar Sector for slightly less than 800 floors", is it at all worth listing the genres? Sure, it's a hidden stat within the games, and we have the info, but it's about as important as the stat that determines the exact sound that Sora's shoes make on the ground: sure, it's ''there'', but you can't change it in any way, it doesn't change how you play the game in any way, and there's no point in looking it up (actually, even less than that. It's possible you could somehow try to moderate your walking for echo-y floors to hear enemies spawning better. I can't see how it would really help you, but still, you could use it ''somehow'').


== Scratch Card rewards ==
The other column lists which parts not in that category the piece replaces—so, if a starter kit replaced a shirt or pants, for example. For Items, it also lists which hand the piece appears in. This ''is'' actually useful, but it's also pretty self-evident from the pictures, and anybody actually playing the game can see it clearly as the replaceable pieces blinking when you highlight the part in question. So, this is actually practical in the game, and it could be used for info, but there's no point in looking it up. Also, it would use up quite a bit of space, especially for the Bodysuits.


Is there any system to what commands you might get from Scratch Cards, or are they basically random?  --{{User:Neumannz/SigTemplate}} 22:16, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
Finally, the Ensembles: Each Ensemble listing lists the parts used to make the ensemble. As Ensembles are not true parts, knowing what these are IS the only way to get new Ensembles.


== Boss costumes ==
Now, I would definitely like to put these in. However, it would be quite a bit of work, and we'd have to figure out how to put it in. Furthermore, the nature of the Avatar Menu means that ''even this'' has no real use in gameplay: you get parts when you get them. There is absolutely no way to get them faster, unless they belong to a specific avatar on a specific floor.


I can't remember, are these rewarded for finishing chapters as in coded/Mobile? Or are they fully random, as the article claims?{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 15:49, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
So: my personal view is that it would be worth putting in the "Ensemble parts" lists, but not the "Genre" and "Parts replaced" lists. What do you guys think?{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 10:04, 15 March 2011 (EDT)
:It has been over two fucking weeks since I posted this.{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 10:06, 1 April 2011 (EDT)
:People will probably see this and say "tl;dr", either that or it's just that they don't know much to help. Honestly, I can't understand what you're trying to say.

== Avatar Parts Genres ==
::Makes sense, I say.  --{{User:Neumannz/SigTemplate}} 16:32, 1 April 2011 (EDT)
:::Oh look, I look like a douche. Still, people don't know what exactly you're talking about, i.e. the Ultimania columns. {{User:Erry/Sig}} 16:59, 1 April 2011 (EDT)
:::Resummarize: We have translated the Ultimania's Avatar Parts table, except for three columns. These three columns are:
*Genre
*Parts replaced
*Ensemble parts


From what I can tell, it appears that rather than matching specific parts to increase happiness, there's a genre associated with most avatar parts, with the exception of Bods, Lips, and Peepers. Just about everything else has a specific genre which the Ultimania assigns a letter value to. It appears that the boost is 1 point for each part equipped that is from the same genre, plus it also appears that you get 1 additional point no matter what. What isn't completely clear is where you get 1 point for each one part you match to your friend, or whether it's a cumulative effect (i.e. if all your parts are from 1 genre, do you get a boost even if the other avatar doesn't match at all?; If the other Avatar has 3 parts of a genre you have 1 of, is that 1 point for one pair of parts matched, 3 for having 3 parts match a genre of the other avatar, or 4 for total number of matching parts?). At any rate, there only appear to be 6 genres in total. --[[User:JeruTz|JeruTz]] ([[User talk:JeruTz|talk]]) 17:42, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
I believe that "Genre" and "Parts replaced" are pretty useless, but that "Ensemble parts" should be listed.{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 18:42, 1 April 2011 (EDT)
