NEW D-LINK!!!!!

I just saw the Gamescon trailer and theres a new D-Link!!! And it's PETE!!--P456 18:53, August 18, 2010 (UTC)

Do you have a link to the trailer?--Xabryn 22:08, August 18, 2010 (UTC)

Here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQkA3_FIRF0 - JTD95 22:21, August 18, 2010 (UTC)

Never mind I just saw it--Xabryn 22:24, August 18, 2010 (UTC)

Ether that or it could be only in the European release. Nomura didn't mention a new D-link in the north american release.Edgeshadow

WingBlade - I'm asking you, as a friend. Just... put an end to me... TALK - {{{time}}} Actually it is a European Trailer. The GameCon 2010 is happening in Europe and if that's not true, look the the end of the trailer saying "September 10, 2010". It the European Release Date.

Then the D-link is not included in the north american release.Edgeshadow

You don't know that. Why would there be two different English releases? --Neumannz, The Dark Falcon 01:19, August 19, 2010 (UTC)

WingBlade - Exactly what I said idiot. The Terra you know will be gone forever. TALK - {{{time}}} Only time will tell as always.

Man, This really confusing!Edgeshadow

WingBlade - Exactly what I said idiot. The Terra you know will be gone forever. TALK - {{{time}}} I know!

NeutraVega Talk to me, you triple zero!. — "3, 22⁄7, 333⁄106, 355⁄113, 103993/33102...'." *Cue echo SFX* Roflz. "European only." Now THIS is a whole new level of retarded.......

LapisScarab - You accept darkness, yet choose to live in the light. So why is it that you loathe us who teeter on the edge of nothing? We who were turned away by both light and dark - never given a choice? TALK - That may be... however, what other choice might we have had? When has there ever been a different version for the US and European releases? They're both the English version of the game.

NeutraVega Talk to me, you triple zero!. — "3, 22⁄7, 333⁄106, 355⁄113, 103993/33102...'." *Cue echo SFX* Exactly. It's time ya'll stop being stupid, and pull those heads out of those assholes. Info's completely legit, so get your asses moving. Edit it in.

WOAH WOAH WOAH! Lets slow down for a minute. Lets calmly think 1st.Edgeshadow

WingBlade - Exactly what I said idiot. The Terra you know will be gone forever. TALK - {{{time}}} I agree. You can't really be certain. If what LS said is true, why would Nomura release two English versions? As always, we should wait until both have been released and see if their the same or not.

NeutraVega Talk to me, you triple zero!. — "3, 22⁄7, 333⁄106, 355⁄113, 103993/33102...'." *Cue echo SFX* Lol, why bother "thinking" when you're lacking the obvious brain cells required for the task?

That's right and besides we don't even know who get the D-link. All we see is aqua using it.Edgeshadow

LapisScarab - You accept darkness, yet choose to live in the light. So why is it that you loathe us who teeter on the edge of nothing? We who were turned away by both light and dark - never given a choice? TALK - That may be... however, what other choice might we have had? Neutra, you don't need to be an ass to make a point. Be civil. @WB: What are you talking about? There's just one English version of the game.

WingBlade - Whatever it takes. Anything to save Terra and Aqua. TALK - {{{time}}} *Edgeshadow: My thoughts exactly! *LS: One or two, we can't be certain about it. US and Europe may have some differences or maybe not. We need more information. And to get that, we'll have to wait.

Trailers are not at all reliable, Organization XIII at the Great Crest, Disney Castle in KH1, etc. Less than a freaking month, guys, just wait until you can edit responsibly instead of making more messes.02:34, August 19, 2010 (UTC)

AHHH COME ON! We are not even sure!Edgeshadow

NeutraVega Talk to me, you triple zero!. — "3, 22⁄7, 333⁄106, 355⁄113, 103993/33102...'." *Cue echo SFX* Lol, yep. This is doubtless the pinnacle of human fucktardation.

Wash your mouth MAN!Edgeshadow

NeutraVega Talk to me, you triple zero!. — "3, 22⁄7, 333⁄106, 355⁄113, 103993/33102...'." *Cue echo SFX* Lol, know what's funny here? Didn't we all change the Command Style information based on gameplay and trailer footage? As I correctly recall, per usual, Speed Rave was changed to Fever Pitch in European gameplay footage. Funny, how no one "thought" about that one. Oh, wait. I know! There's TWO versions! So, is it safe to assume that the American version will be called "Pic de Fievre"? Well, golly gosh darn! Now it all MAKES SENSE!

I allowed that one to be changed because that article is already an unsourced mess, and since I don't have the time myself to reformat it, there's no point in trying to keep it to any such standard until the game is dubbed. Closing the door after the fox got in, and all that.

However, this article is accurate, as is the Deck Commands one, and there is absolutely no benefit in letting it get **cked all to hell by combing trailers for names that may not even stay the same.

Also also, there is no logic in lumping us as one multi-headed beast that always thinks the same.Glorious CHAOS! 16:50, August 19, 2010 (UTC)

NeutraVega Talk to me, you triple zero!. — "3, 22⁄7, 333⁄106, 355⁄113, 103993/33102...'." *Cue echo SFX* Oh, you know me. You know I never lump people together. I always make it a special point to keep the idiots seperate from the jackasses. :) I'm a very neat, and organized...more like, a very finicky guy. A finicky genius.

Oh,how the sea calls - Cuttlefish. Eh? Let us not, dear friends, forget our dear friends, the cuttlefish. TALK - 20:48, August 1, 2010 (UTC) Nuetra, you may be intelligent, but you sound so ignorant on here. Apparently you have a small vocabulary, or you don't know how to use the one you have now without profanity.

WOAH WOAH WOAH! Slow down for a minute. We'll just wait to be sure. Just wait for the release. OK. Good!Edgeshadow

maggosh ...the flint is struck. — "Maybe I should punish you after all." "Come on! Show a little backbone!" Trailers are not at all reliable, Organization XIII at the Great Crest, Disney Castle in KH1, etc. Yeah, but there's only one problem; those were in trailers released a year or more before the actual game, while it was still in development. BbS has been released in Japan, and right now, it's almost two weeks before its NA and EU releases; why put something in like a new D-Link in the trailer, so close to the release of the game, not to have it in the final product?

NeutraVega Talk to me, you triple zero!. — "3, 22⁄7, 333⁄106, 355⁄113, 103993/33102...'." *Cue echo SFX* Oh wow, wouldya lookie at that. A Pete D-Link in the latest NA trailer on the official site. You know, every time, every time, so far when I had to make a scene on here, I always ended up right... I always ended up more or less humiliating you all. Isn't it about time that stopped? Ain't it about time you all, you know, paid attention to the only fucker who knows what he's talking about?

LapisScarab - You accept darkness, yet choose to live in the light. So why is it that you loathe us who teeter on the edge of nothing? We who were turned away by both light and dark - never given a choice? TALK - That may be... however, what other choice might we have had? Neutra, get over yourself. You weren't the only one who thought this was legit. That wasn't the point. The point was that trailers alone aren't reliable.

KrytenKoro - This is the song that runs under the credits; these are the credits, so this is where it goes. 'has nothing to do with the movie so we'll say, "Hey! Hey! Hey hey hey hey hey hey!" TALK - This is probably just feeding the troll, but NV, weren't you absolutely convinced that "complete being" was a canon term, and swore up and down that sources could easily be found? How's that turning out for you? maggosh: I don't know, but we also have just over two weeks until we can do this whole thing with 100% reliability, and it's really just easier to do it then. For example, we have no idea what the Pete D-Link would even do, and we don't have a good picture, so how would we even cover it here?

maggosh ...the flint is struck. — "Maybe I should punish you after all." "Come on! Show a little backbone!" Well, aside from the fact that you can drive his car, nothing. You've got a point.

NeutraVega Talk to me, you triple zero!. — "3, 22⁄7, 333⁄106, 355⁄113, 103993/33102...'." *Cue echo SFX* Kryten, just to shut your sorry ass up, once again, I'll attempt to be reasonable and logical here regarding your retarded "somebody" terminology. 1-When was the first letter of "somebody" ever capitalized, such as Heartless, Nobody, or Unversed? 2-When was a singular, objective noun used in conjunction with "somebody", such as "the somebody", or "those somebodies." "A somebody" doesn't count since it's subjective.... 3-When was "somebody" ever referred to in a plural sense, such as once again, "those somebodies", similar to "Agh! Nobodies! NOOOO!" Exactly. Shut the fuck up. If you had half a brain, or a tenth of any real knowledge of the English language, you'd know that you are dead wrong. But you know what, keep thinking that you're right. Cause the dumber you look, the funnier it is for me, as well as...well, pretty much anyone else out there. Ya'll are just too fucking stubborn and proud to accept the fact that I have never been wrong before. NEVER. And every fucking time, you end up humiliating yourselves. Get over yourselves, and listen to someone for once in your pathetic lives.

KrytenKoro - "I'm the doctor, I'm the patient. Don't forget that - it's important! If you love me like I love me, everybody will be sorry." TALK - 1) In CoM and Days, several times, used in conjunction with "Nobody", which had a similar, non-katakana version in that, and I've already provided the quotes and their original Japanese versions. 2) I never said that the term was 100% canon. I said that you were claiming that "complete being" was, and so far you haven't gotten off your lazy ass to provide a source, whereas we've done multiple interview-trawls to find whatever we can (Ex: "Other", "Human", "Somebody") 3) Again, in CoM. "Nobodies can't be Somebodies". Seriously, Neutra, if you can't be civil, at least be, you know, right about what you're shouting. (Relevant history lesson - part of the purpose of politeness and civility is so that, if people ARE found to be wrong, they don't look like such an ass, and wouldn't get their head cut off by the nobility.) People who are both loud and hilariously wrong are just pathetic.

NeutraVega Talk to me, you triple zero!. — "3, 22⁄7, 333⁄106, 355⁄113, 103993/33102...'." *Cue echo SFX* I am right, but you're just too fucking stupid to look past an absurdly obvious misinterpretation of a metaphor on your part. Like I said, I insist that you insist on your usage. The more of a dumbfuck you are, the more I'll enjoy my chocolate cheesecake. Unfortunately, your sheer stupidity is the only necessity required to "feed this troll."

One-Winged Angel "The things you want to say the most are the things you fight yourself the hardest not to say." TALK - Do you think you can erase your past? - 12:55 August 21, 2010 Take this shit to the USER talk pages. This talk page is for the DISCUSSION of the ARTICLE, last time I checked was D-Link so take your petty argument (AKA Shit) to, I say again, THE USER TALK PAGES!!!

KrytenKoro - "That's when we bumped into Hannity. Sean Hannity. See the thing about this dude is, at first he's fair, right? And you're like "Wow!" But then BOOM. The dude's balanced, too. And you're like, HOLY SHIT." TALK - Again, Neutra, I never said that "Somebody" was the official term. I said it was the closest to canon that we had. You are the only one that is claiming that a term is completely canon.

WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH! SLOW DOWN! Or better yet COOL DOWN! One-Winged Angle is right. Put you petty argument (AKA Shit) in the User Talk page PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!????????? IT STARTING TO GET ANNOYING. IT PRACTICALLY OUT OF THE TOPIC!?!Edgeshadow

NeutraVega Talk to me, you triple zero!. — "3, 22⁄7, 333⁄106, 355⁄113, 103993/33102...'." *Cue echo SFX* Well, in that case Kryten, that makes you hypocrite of the fucking century. You refuse to edit in legit facts because "trailers aren't substantial enough" or whatever, but insist on "closest terms", aka bullshit? Lulz

The Logic behind not including this is flawed at it's core. Let me list the reasons why it's a safe bet
1. The game comes out in ~2 weeks. The trailer isn't going to include beta elements at this stage
2. The Japanese trailer didn't have this. They wouldn't inculde something from beta and have it translated into english (Note aqua's command menu is in english, not japanese. If this was a beta element it wouldn't be translated.
3. They wouldn't add something to the English trailer, that was otherwise identical to the Japanese one, unless it was a new feature (Another example is the dude in the Org. XIII cloak. We know that's a bonus boss and was added for the English Release.) Lego3400 04:17, August 24, 2010 (UTC)

Forget it man his too STUBBORN to listen to resons! STUBBORN MULE!!!!!!!???!!!!

I would prefer we keep this civil. So please no name calling. That said I am stubborn as well so this could last awhile <.<; Lego3400 04:27, August 24, 2010 (UTC)

All three of your reasons are the same reason, and are all assumptions with no evidence. "The game comes out in just over two weeks" is not an assumption. You do realize that, just the FACT that they are changing things between releases means, "Yes, they ARE changing things between releases".

NV - you are so deep in denial that it is hilarious. Yes, using repeated terms with a clear context from several games is so much less reasonable than a split-second shot from a trailer in an unreleased game. Of course you're right, I was so blind.Glorious CHAOS! 23:50, August 24, 2010 (UTC)

WingBlade - Exactly what I said idiot. The Terra you know will be gone forever. TALK - {{{time}}} Are you all done with this nonsense!? All Edgeshadow and I wanted was to wait for new info instead of putting unclear ones in the article. Now people please decide! Or do you want this nonsense to continue! Sheees!!

so umm from tha new video it looks like pete is a d-link too just wonderin if u plan on addin him in tha mix --Chaosxterra09 15:17, August 25, 2010 (UTC)Chaosxterra09

Xabryn - I don't care if you're real!You're not better! TALK - It's nice to have darkness on my side.{{{time}}} This is what this discussion is all about but I don't think we should put it in the article yet since they can end changing things again

ZexionFan321 - I, Lexaeus, will not yield to the frail heart of an infantile coward! TALK - You are the Superior's... Forgive me Zexion. - 23:18, August 25, 2010 (UTC) It was in the trailer and it's way too close to the release date so they would use things that will be in the game.

And that pretty much sums up both arguments. One side says not becasue they insist that no trailer can be trusted 100# and the other side says that a trailer this close is safe to trust. I agree with the latter obviously. Lego3400 02:19, August 26, 2010 (UTC)

A wiki is not the same as a newspaper. We don't need to have information first, we need correct, verifiable information. Is it really that hard to wait two weeks?I think not.LapisLazuliScarab02:24, August 26, 2010 (UTC)

A bit yes. If we can't be consistent on what we can and cannot take from trailers we shouldn't take anything. IE: Revert Keyblade Glider to Rider ETC. Notice how backwards and hypocritical the arguments seem if you extend it to everything on the wiki, not just this one thing? Lego3400 02:26, August 26, 2010 (UTC)

Valid point, I hadn't noticed that that was changed.LapisLazuliScarab02:28, August 26, 2010 (UTC)

You can always open a forum thread to discuss the policy. ^BLUER一番 02:36, August 26, 2010 (UTC)

True so true.

Final Agrrement

Type here if you want to agree.

1) Sign your posts. 2) What are you talking about?LapisLazuliScarab02:43, August 26, 2010 (UTC)

<poll> Do we agree that Pate is a D-link? Yes absolutly!!!! Maybe. NO!!!!! I don't know. </poll>

You're missing the point. This is about whether we should use the trailers as sources or not. Thinking about it more, I think we should use them for story elements, which do not often change, but not for game mechanics, which often do. That's just my opinion, and we should move this to a forum. I'll do that.LapisLazuliScarab02:52, August 26, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. Its relly getting everyone confused in many ways and that the truth.

New discussion

LapisScarab Embrace... nothing! — 03:00, August 26, 2010 (UTC) Okay, we need to decide on the wiki's policy on using trailers, as you all can see from the discussions above. Here's where I stand: We should use trailers for storyline points (cutscenes, maybe for the worlds the caracters vist), but not for the game mechanics (D-links, name changes). This is because game mechanics tend to change during development, but storyline points do not. Please keep the discussion civil.

Please stop doing that. I said discussion, not poll. A poll should be used if everything is in a deadlock and the discussion has come to an end. The discussion got side-tracked before, and now's the time to argue your point civilly. Wait on the poll for a bit.LapisLazuliScarab03:06, August 26, 2010 (UTC)

OK. should i erase the poll?

For now. If we can't reach a decision in, let's say 1 week, we'll put the poll up again, wait for another week, and go by that. And sign you comments.LapisLazuliScarab03:11, August 26, 2010 (UTC)

Thats an erase.Right?

ZexionFan321 - Don't I even warrant a hello, Lexaeus? TALK - I have identified the scent. It is...Riku. — 04:05, August 26, 2010 (UTC) We should use trailers for storyline points and if the trailer is close enough then we use it for mechanics.

LapisScarab - You accept darkness, yet choose to live in the light. So why is it that you loathe us who teeter on the edge of nothing? We who were turned away by both light and dark - never given a choice? TALK - That may be... however, what other choice might we have had? Close enough to what?
