I'm quite curious about the translation for the Shoot Lock you gain when Vanitas becomes a D-Link. Fans who have the game translated the SL (Shoot Lock, SL used from here onwards) as '''Dark Obelisk''', while it was previously translated by [[User:Xabryn|Xabryn]] as '''Link of Dark'''. The D-Link article itself says the SL is called '''Dark of Link''', which makes no sense whatsoever. Since we're sticking to '''Last Charge''' as the combo finisher for the Vanitas D-Link (which came from the same video where the name '''Dark Obelisk''' was discovered, by yours truly), should we not do the same for the Shoot Lock? Considering I was "on break", I may have missed something... Regardless, we NEED to resolve this conflict and fix it wherever it arises, both here and the D-Link article, as we're being extremely inconsistent. - | I'm quite curious about the translation for the Shoot Lock you gain when Vanitas becomes a D-Link.

:We're using "Last Charge" because it is correct, not because it's from the video. "Dark of Link" is the correct translation for the Shoot Lock, it's just that the guy who translated it for that video you found wasn't familiar with katakana. The katakana are listed on the D-Link page, if you're interested.[[User:KrytenKoro|<small>Glorious</small>]] [[User_talk:KrytenKoro|<small>CHAOS!</small>]] 22:29, May 27, 2010 (UTC) | :We're using "Last Charge" because it is correct, not because it's from the video.

::"Dark Obelisk" is a mistranslation. As you can see from [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BReGlkos6j8 here] (time from 2:54 to 3:20, watch in high quality), the Japanese name is Dāku obu Rinku, "Dark of Link". "Last Charge" is also the Japanese name for the Finisher, as seen at around 3:41 in the same vid. This ''is'' being consistent. -- | ::"Dark Obelisk" is a mistranslation.

EDIT CONFLICT : I assumed as much. And I'm well aware of the katakana's existence on the D-Link page. Please fix these inconsitencies across the Wiki, and I thank you for the clarification. - | EDIT CONFLICT : I assumed as much. And I'm well aware of the katakana's existence on the D-Link page.

::The fact that, unless they've been corrected since the last time I checked, mistranslated names can be found in articles relating to Vanitas/Ventus, as well as Shoot Locks and D-Links around the Wiki. Even if they aren't there, they need to be double-checked just to be safe. - | ::The fact that, unless they've been corrected since the last time I checked, mistranslated names can be found in articles relating to Vanitas/Ventus, as well as Shoot Locks and D-Links around the Wiki.

::Just to clarify - ''Ventus's'' version is named "Dark of Link".

http://www.gamespot.com/special_feature/kh_images/image-feature/index.html?image=4 As you guys can see, the system's "Shoot-Lock" name has been officially changed to "Shot Lock" - just one "o." In my opinion, makes much more sense and is less Engrishy. Anyhow, deems a change. --[[User:NeutraVega|NeutraVega]] 23:50, June 3, 2010 (UTC) | http://www.gamespot.com/special_feature/kh_images/image-feature/index.html?image=4 As you guys can see, the system's "Shoot-Lock" name has been officially changed to "Shot Lock" - just one "o."

:I concur. Should we do it now, or wait til Sept.? (Also, is it one word or two? It kinda looks like "Shotlock".) -- | :I concur. Should we do it now, or wait til Sept.? (Also, is it one word or two?
