Only there is another other problem: the Final Fantasy wiki acknowledges these comparisons and keeps them in the articles. With the resemblances being painfully obvious, why would you need to remove them? This series is part Square-Enix after all. So while actual FF cameos aren't making any appearances, new characters modeled after FF ones are showing up. So why the remove just because of a lack of confirmation? We don't need to have a confirmation to know how blatantly obvious it is.[[User:Kaihedgie|Kaihedgie]] 18:03, October 14, 2009 (UTC)
:The problem is that while it's clear he has FF influence, it is also clear that we don't exactly know what that influence is, exactly. It's blatant enough from his name that he's some kind of FF guy, let's leave it at that for now.

[http://marunao2.blog120.fc2.com/ The Japanese fansites are going to the trouble of spelling it out].

Just to summarize:
#We ''do'' know that this character is the "Master" of the original, Square-Enix-based characters of the series, so he has ties to Square-Enix.
#Every available Japanese romanization uses "Master Erauqxs", which provides both a parallel to Master Yen Sid (who trained the leaders of the Disney characters) as well as context for Xehanort's anagram name. Every original name in this series is ''rife'' with meaning, and it's silly to suggest otherwise. (Pence, Olette, and Hayner are the closest in the series to "just names". Every single other character has some kind of meaning or theme to their names.)
#We have information on this character, and we need to have an article for the info. We are ''not'' going to wait for the game to come out in America to start providing information on it. '''Unless you can demonstrate a more accurate translation''', NeutraVega, all you are doing is annoying the other editors. The point of a wiki is to ''improve'' information, not to wipe it away.
#Everyone, please. This is a hobby for all of us, and it has no lasting value or meaning. We are doing this to inform fans who were bewildered by the franchise's storyline, not to cure cancer or anything, so we need neither vitriol nor adoration here.[[User:KrytenKoro|<small>Glorious</small>]] [[User_talk:KrytenKoro|<small>CHAOS!</small>]] 07:28, October 15, 2009 (UTC)

{{GS|time=03:25, October 15, 2009 (UTC)|text=This was all completely ridiculous.

"This article is about a game that has yet to be released.
'''As such, some of the information might be inaccurate or likely to change.''' Perhaps you should
refrain from putting rumors and speculation on this article."

It says right at the top of the article that information might be inaccurate.  That's exactly why we have that template.  

Of course we don't have an official translation of the Master's name yet, so atm, it doesn't really matter if the name is wrong or right.  Most of the North American sites are using "Master Erauqs," so I suggest keeping it that way until we get anything official.  Even if it's wrong, this is what most of the North American fans are going to know him as, since all of the main North American sites are calling him by that name.  Leave it alone, time will tell his true name.}}
::In regards to naming the article "Master Erauqs", instead of just Erauqs (trust me, this would be relevant whatever the actual spelling is), nearly every source, including the games themselves, generally calls Mickey "The King".

Correct, but the point stands. You just said we use their "full name" including titles. We don't use Squall's full name. Either way, calling him "The King" for the article title seems ridiculous to me--and the journal says Mickey Mouse, to my recollection, while his dialogue title is The King. I could be wrong, though. [[User:Dazuro|Dazuro]] 03:49, October 16, 2009 (UTC)
:No, that's not what I said. I said that the standard wiki format is to use the full name as the article name, and then include titles such as "King" in the article lead (first paragraph). <s>"Leon" is his only given name in KH</s>*, so it would be his full name as an article lead, since this is KH, not FF8. However, "Mickey Mouse" is mentioned within the games, even if it's not what the journal's call him, so we name his article "Mickey Mouse".
:"The King" is what he's called in the CoM journal, on the CoM cards, and on the TCG cards. Its also what all famitsu etc. articles use. Days uses "The King" as well, for the few times it mentions his name. KH1 uses "Mickey Mouse", while KH2 uses "King Mickey".
:* The journal does say that Leon's full name is "Squall Leonhart", at least in KH2. As such, it should be moved as well, and possibly use nickname format (Squall "Leon" Leonhart), or just mention the alias in the lead.[[User:KrytenKoro|<small>Glorious</small>]] [[User_talk:KrytenKoro|<small>CHAOS!</small>]] 07:54, October 16, 2009 (UTC)

Square Enix wouldn make a kingdom hearts character that is SOMEHOW a final fantasy.In other words Master Erauq(x?)s is a kingdom hearts character we cant really assume anything from thin air so we have to wait for future scans and THEN we can add more to him plus it seems his origin may be from The Land of Departure.
