Talk:Auto-Shot

There's something screwy going on with the localization that might require a page split. In the original Japanese, the Double Arrowguns' and Hunny Blasters' R2 ability is called "Gatling Shot", while the Magic/Hunny Launcher's is called "Charge Shot". This was localized as "Auto-Shot" and "Charged Shot", respectively. Good so far. However, the on-screen button prompt when using these in Japanese is called Shūtā Mōdo (シューターモード, lit. "Shooter Mode"), and the tutorial for the Double Arrowguns formchange is titled "Shooter Mode" - so clearly, Shooter Mode is the term for the mode that activates when you hold down R2 using any of these four formchanges, and you use either Gatling Shot or Charge Shot while in that mode depending on the formchange. But Shooter Mode was localized as... "Auto-Shot". So we have the Auto-Shot that is a localization of Gatling Shot and the Auto-Shot that is a localization of Shooter Mode (which, in my opinion, was a mistake in the English version). Does that mean that we need to make a "Auto-Shot (ability)" and "Auto-Shot (mode)" page? Superfield (talk) 19:39, 16 October 2023 (UTC)

That begs the question, does Auto-Shot (Shooter Mode) need its own page in the first place? Since the mode is not itself an ability, I think it could be sufficient to just incorporate the info into the Auto-Shot (Gatling Shot) and Charged Shot articles. This would only need to be a minor change, something like:

When using these Formchanges, holding activates Auto-Shot (シユーターモード, Shiyūtā Mōdo, lit. "Shooter Mode"), changing the camera to a third-person over-the-shoulder shooter perspective as Sora rapidly fires projectiles from the Formchange, with his aim shown as a red reticle. Sora can use to adjust the reticle.

I agree. There's not really enough to give it its own page. TheSilentHero 16:45, 17 October 2023 (UTC)
