Talk:Eraqus

Cyan?

This guys might remind people of Cyan. Probably in due to his Samurai theme and his hair and facial hair

Name

ShadowsTwilight - He's leaving you behind, and when you catch up, he'll be a different person TALK - HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Now I have to ask, is Erauqs his confirmed name or is it speculation?

find someone not lazy to translate famitsu.

..Wow. And I thought Yen Sid was bad... at least that sounds kind of like a mystical name. This is just awful. Dazuro 16:45, October 14, 2009 (UTC)

NeutraVega Talk to me, you triple zero!. — "3, 22⁄7, 333⁄106, 355⁄113, 103993/33102...'." *Cue echo SFX* Speculation. And I think this shit really needs to end...

@NeutraVega : We can always move the article accordingly if we need to. One thing's for sure : for now, this thing ain't moving, because we are having that character in BBS. There are some things even the stars cannot tell me. • TroisNyxÉtienne — 00:27, October 15, 2009 (UTC)

NeutraVega Talk to me, you triple zero!. — "3, 22⁄7, 333⁄106, 355⁄113, 103993/33102...'." *Cue echo SFX* I never said that. I just said there's not enough to go on for the time being. The page is a space waster filled with brainless speculation.

Believe me, we didn't have enough on Master Xehanort's apprentice at one time. You'd have called it a space waster too. But why the hell am I dealing with you ? I think I should just leave it to Kryten to do as he sees fit. He's the admin anyway, and he knows a lot better. There are some things even the stars cannot tell me. • TroisNyxÉtienne — 02:27, October 15, 2009 (UTC)

Wha?

Why remove the reference. It's true D: Kaihedgie 17:11, October 14, 2009 (UTC)

According to who? We have the stuff about Reno on Axel's page because Nomura has outright confirmed it.Glorious CHAOS! 17:32, October 14, 2009 (UTC)

Okay? Someone else left the Terra-to-Zack reference and no one seems to mind about that. Matter of fact, he's not the only one. There's also Vexen-to-Hojo as well so might as well remove those too. Kaihedgie 17:45, October 14, 2009 (UTC)

Will do.Glorious CHAOS! 17:59, October 14, 2009 (UTC)

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.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. We really shouldn't be encouraging speculation.Glorious CHAOS! 00:32, October 15, 2009 (UTC)

So you wanted the reference removed just because you didn't know even though someone else did? |:/ Kaihedgie 01:00, October 15, 2009 (UTC)

Remember your Riku example? Especially since we don't know anything about this guy besides appearance, it's really iffy to be claiming any basis right now.Glorious CHAOS! 01:29, October 15, 2009 (UTC)

....Go straight to the Final Fantasy wiki and start lookin' up characters BEFORE FFVII. It seems pretty evident that nearly no one on here has actually played any FF games prior to VII. Kaihedgie 01:34, October 15, 2009 (UTC)

Um, I have, no need for the tone. And how is he like Cyan, exactly, given what we know at the moment? They're both samurai, and...um...gee. They are so alike, my god.—Urutapu 01:40, October 15, 2009 (UTC)

Similar build and facial features. It's not that hard at all. Kaihedgie 02:15, October 15, 2009 (UTC)

Okay...Yeah. Delete his page...

NeutraVega Talk to me, you triple zero!. — "3, 22⁄7, 333⁄106, 355⁄113, 103993/33102...'." *Cue echo SFX* Where to start... First off, his name....BULLSHIT! It's a friggin guessing game since his name hasn't even been romanized; hell, there are countless more SENSIBLE ways to romanize it. That said...why do I get the feeling the current romanization is just some bullshit fanboy fanatasy JUST to get a "square" anagram out of his name? And lastly...there's just NOT ENOUGH crap on the guy to create a concrete page. I think this page is in need of an epic deletion until we have more LOGICAL information...

We're not removing it; that thing would've already been romanised in the guidebook. We'll just wait for the cue from GS or from Xion4ever or even Xiggie. Now sneck up ! There are some things even the stars cannot tell me. • TroisNyxÉtienne — 00:24, October 15, 2009 (UTC)

NeutraVega Talk to me, you triple zero!. — "3, 22⁄7, 333⁄106, 355⁄113, 103993/33102...'." *Cue echo SFX* This is nonsense. It's a free invitation for the most retarded forms of fanboy speculation.

I'm pretty sure you'd have said the same thing about Terra, or Aqua, or even Ven, when it was first written. Helping others always comes before asking others for help. • TroisNyxÉtienne — 00:30, October 15, 2009 (UTC)

KrytenKoro - Most bears were content to live their lives, mauling and eating one, maybe two humans at most. "Mass-murder," as the bears always said, "is for the sharks." But not Barry. Barry was different. He knew that one day, he would kill ALL of the humans. This is the inspiring, tear-jerking story of one bear and the dream he dared to dream. TALK - ...He has a parallel role to Yen Sid, he's the penultimate Square character, he has "Master" as part of his title...every other character with "Master" has an anagram for a name. It's retardedly obvious what his name is.

HAHA ! SEE ! SEE ! Pardon me for being so painfully cruel, but I'm in the midst of smashing 'im up. There are some things even the stars cannot tell me. • TroisNyxÉtienne — 00:32, October 15, 2009 (UTC)

The Japanese fansites are going to the trouble of spelling it out. To be fair though, they think that an X fits in there somehow, turning it from a Yen Sid analogue to something of an Organization precursor. Then again...we know Xemnas is descended from this group, it would make sense for him to get the idea somewhere. I just don't see how they fit the x there, it sounds like coughing.Glorious CHAOS! 00:34, October 15, 2009 (UTC)

Really, no. This is hilarious. Jumping a guy, then adding in INCORRECT information on a wiki. You guys really are special. Oh, one last thing: http://heartstation.org/gallery/birth-by-sleep/birth-by-sleep-scans/Japan127.jpg.php?z&p=full-image Yeah. Terra's keyblade DOES a have a keychain.

You know, I wouldn't jump on you for any other reason but your misconduct. About our mistakes, and the speculation, you could've approached us in a more civilised manner like what Kaihedgie did in the above section. If you're gonna diss the whole KHW and its editors, had I been an admin, I wouldn't even leave a place for you here. Maybe everyone else is more forgiving, but I've given you enough chances.

I don't care about me. Just fix the page. There's bigger crap to work over than dealing with me. Like cleaning up the mess, for example. --NeutraVega 02:35, October 15, 2009 (UTC)

Just to summarize:

1. 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.
2. 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.)
3. 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.
4. 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.Glorious CHAOS! 07:28, October 15, 2009 (UTC)

@Everyone: All caps and large bold letters isn't going to sway opinions, so I suggest next time to keep hands away from the caps lock button and the shift button, hmhm? I'm also contemplating a request to Wikia to list "<big></big>" inside the spam filter, because, really. Because as KK puts it, this is a hobby, and we shouldn't be so worked up on it. Now if you're annoyed, take time out and relax. And remember, edit-wars and vandals are a no-no.

Oh yeah, Master Erauqs! Wow.... and of course X should be in there! If they're not gonna name him Xine Erauqs at least they'd hint an "Enix" in his name with that X, hahaha... so, yeah.... ^BLUER一番 10:20, October 17, 2009 (UTC)

Morghman - Now! Let's savor the utmost of suffering together! TALK - As the other dies, their agony radiates through my body, and living through it is pure ecstasy! Might I say something? In the past, this wiki has had numerous "speculation" pages, and nobody has spoken out against most of them. Why should this one be any different? We've always fixed them in the end, when the official publications were added. I ask not just one of you, but all of you to be patient, and let things take their course. Not just for this page, but for all pages in the future. To admins, you guys need to make the right choices to make the wiki a better place, and for Vega, you need to be more cooperative, and watch what words you use.

We're done for the day here.

Yeah, you know what? We're just going to stop this right here while I sort some stuff out.

This argument (yes, argument, not discussion) is literally going nowhere. Therefore, the discussion will resume at a time when hopefully we can all behave in a more civilized fashion. BebopKate 02:41, October 15, 2009 (UTC)

Guardian Soul Talk. — Don't I even warrant a hello? It's such a shame. The Organization used to be the rope that bound us together. - 03:25, October 15, 2009 (UTC) 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". If we're going purely by the published title, that's what we'd have to use. The standard wiki format, though, is to use the character's full name, and include titles in the lead.Glorious CHAOS! 07:13, October 15, 2009 (UTC)

Guardian Soul Talk. — Don't I even warrant a hello? It's such a shame. The Organization used to be the rope that bound us together. - 17:23, October 15, 2009 (UTC) If it calls Mickey "The King" in the journal entries, then that's probably what it should be changed to.

We don't use their full names here. Hence Leon, etc. Dazuro 03:20, October 16, 2009 (UTC)

There's a huge difference between aliases and titles, and the reasons for choosing between them. If we're going by journal entry, however, we have a bit of discussion to do about Mickey and Donald.Glorious CHAOS! 03:45, October 16, 2009 (UTC)

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. 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). "Leon" is his only given name in KH*, 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.Glorious CHAOS! 07:54, October 16, 2009 (UTC)

Origin

Xemwath - You are my living legacy. TALK - SOLDIER 1st Class Zack! Since Final Fantasy characters are from Radiant Garden in the Kingdom Hearts series, can we assume Master Eruaqs is from Radiant Garden? We can also assume he explains the Unversed to Terra, Ven and Aqua because Yen Sid gave a brief explanation about the Nobodies to Sora, Donald and Goofy.

Eternal Nothingness XIII - You have to be strong. Strength of heart will carry you through the hardest of trials. TALK - What I do, I do for friendship. — 09:46, October 16, 2009 (UTC) No, we can't. Erauqs just LOOKS LIKE the FF creator. Just because someone appears similar to an FF, it doesn't make them a KH. Master Eraups debuts in KH, after all.

Xemwath - You are my living legacy. TALK - SOLDIER 1st Class Zack! Given the undeniable hints, it's hard to resist. Perhaps you're right. Maybe we should wait for further information on this particular character.

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. Keep the page up trust me he is not a waste of space even though he barely has anything....hes reminds me of Cyan from ff6 SO much tough (was my first thought of him). D.Dark. 01:01, October 18, 2009 (UTC)

Xine?

CaptainLarryDuck - My name is of no importance, kupo. TALK - Greetings, kupo. just wondering but is his name just Erauqs? There's Master Yen Sid. Is it possible his name could be Master Xine Erauqs?

maggosh Strike backwards... — "That's a nice expression." You're terrified, aren't you? We don't know yet. It's possible, but not confirmed yet.

Xine. ^_^ I just hope... Helping others always comes before asking others for help. • TroisNyxÉtienne — 11:21, October 20, 2009 (UTC)

i agree with it even though i guess this falls under the speculation section. BUT that would clear up some of the stuff up ther from earlier guessing that he was an organization precurser or...however u spell that word...whatever...basicly thats where the 'X' would be in his name.

-mr.xeroxero p.s. i want a speech bubble D:

Well, looks like the name's Eraqus. No X. Second article in the history of Wikia where KHFR beat KHW. *Sighs* I just wonder what kind of person he'll be. Helping others always comes before asking others for help. • TroisNyxÉtienne — 04:59, October 21, 2009 (UTC)

Unbirth Discussion — Et moi, Jack, L'EPOUVANTAIL ! Ils me trouvent génial, mes mauvais tours les émerveillent, tous les ans c'est le triomphe et la gloire. It's the french Kh wiki, of wich I'm the founder, and we wrote Eraqus from the beginning. What was the first time, Troisnyx ?

@Unbirth : The first time we beat KHW was when it came to writing a strategy for the Thresholder (Duetto). And what joy there was in my heart when I realised we actually beat KHW to writing one ! :D @Webuiltthecross : We know. In fact, I don't know how Unbirth made the wild guess. He put the name as Eraqus simply because Erauqs was just plain difficult to pronounce. And what happened was that soon after, we saw Famitsu and we were happy to note that it was right all along. ^_^ @JudgementDay95 : Just as he said. ^_^ I'm as good as new!

Where did we get all the new information from.--Masgrande 17:19, October 28, 2009 (UTC)

From the new trailer and Famitsu scans. Links to both can be found in one of the Forum threads, I think it's called 'New Scans' or something similar. --—YerMom _{is feeling jolly} 17:36, October 28, 2009 (UTC)

Master Eraqus and Yen Sid

I was thinking they are both named after and anagram of Disney and Square so do you guys think Eraqus and Yen Sid are friends? Maybe that explains why Mickey, Terra, Ventus, and Aqua knows each other. Cococrash11

Doubtful. But that's just my opinion. User:JudgmentDay95

HarpieSiren - Here's one for all of us TALK - It will keep us connected They'd better be. That would be awesomely meta

JFHavoc Talk to Me! — I once took an IQ test and got a score of over 9000. You're all morons. — JFHavoc 03:19, December 17, 2009 (UTC) I wonder if that means Yen Sid can use a keyblade.

That would be so cool if Yen Sid is a Keybalde Weilder also --Cococrash11 03:30, December 17, 2009 (UTC)Cococrash11

Apparently, Yen Sid is an ex-Master. At least, from what I understood. That means that he does have some control over the Keyblade, and that probably explains how he can train Mickey to wield a Keyblade. ★ Joyeux Wikiversaire ! ★ 06:01, February 7, 2010 (UTC)

It was much more than a 'hint.'

Master Xehanort clearly states that Terra is harbouring Eraqus' heart.

Is the "Master" Necesary?

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? This may have already been discussed, but it's been buging me. Why do we call him "Master Eraqus". There's no reason to keep the "Master" title. The only reason we did it with Master Xehanort was to distinguish him from the Xehanort we first knew. There's no one else named "Eraqus" in the series, and I thought we left out titles from article names (hence why "Apprentice Vanitas" was changed to just "Vanitas"). So, my querstion is, is there any reason why we kept the title?

In-game, Eraqus is ALWAYS referred to as Master Eraqus, but Vanitas is never referred to as Apprentice Vanitas (Deshi Vanitasu). Also, if there are journal entries, there's a high probability of it saying Master Eraqus and Master Xehanort, but never Apprentice Vanitas. However, that leads us to the question : What about Yen Sid ? There are some things even the stars cannot tell me. • TroisNyxÉtienne — 05:59, February 7, 2010 (UTC)

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? Yes, but we call Mickey "Mickey Mouse" instead of "The King" like he's always called in the games by Sora and his other friends (BBS excluded, since he wasn't the king at that point).

The strange thing is that over on KHFR, the same article on Mickey Mouse is known as Roi Mickey (King Mickey), since Mickey Mouse is simply called "Mickey" (Mickey le souris would be too long an appelation). And Mickey isn't always called The King, Minnie calls him King Mickey. Guys, there's a serious anomaly on KHW. And we need it resolved. Helping others always comes before asking others for help. • TroisNyxÉtienne — 06:07, February 7, 2010 (UTC)

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? Well, my vote is for just "Eraqus" and probably just "Mickey" like on the French Wiki. The Master title seems unnecesary to me since there's no one to confuse him with, and I don't even think Mickey is even referred to by his full name in the games.

Roi Mickey, not Mickey. But anyway, I'll take your point. But let's all come to consensus : Helping others always comes before asking others for help. • TroisNyxÉtienne — 06:14, February 7, 2010 (UTC)

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? I'd also like to point out that neither Eraqus nor MX are always referred to as "Master". We also call Master Eraqus' Keyblade Eraqus's Keyblade.

Keep the "Master" title or remove it ?

Keep the Master title

• Support - all of the official naming that we have so far uses "Master Eraqus". Mickey is a slightly different situation, since we have "The King", "King Mickey", "King Mickey Mouse", and "Mickey Mouse". Because we've seen him at least once as a not-king (Timeless River), not using the title is probably for the best, though we should compare the names given throughout the journals and scripts. Once BBS is translated, we can move this page based on the journal entry.Glorious CHAOS! 08:07, February 7, 2010 (UTC)

Remove the Master title

See above. And I'd say we keep Yen Sid as he is for the same reason; no one else is named Yen Sid to confuse him with.--Lapis ofthe Night 06:16, February 7, 2010 (UTC)

On the fence

This is my stance now. Yes, I see the need to keep it, but if we do, what about Yen Sid ? ★ Joyeux Wikiversaire ! ★ 06:14, February 7, 2010 (UTC)

Erauqs = Terra's dad?

Kingdomzachdawg The truth is, Ansem, I just can't stand your foul stench. — 01:25, February 17, 2010 (UTC) OK guys, this may or may not sound REALLY stupid depending on how you look at it, but I was just watching Terra's story with english subtitles, and terra referred to erauqs as his father, and I know what your thinking, it probably is just a father-son like relationship, but Terra's EXACT words were "Not only do you target my teacher, no, my father, Eraqus but my two best friends as well!" The way he says it hints that eraqus is his actual father, but I just can't figure it out. What do you think?

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? I remember seeing the video you're talking about, and I can tell that at least the subs weren't making it up, because I seem to remember Terra saying "Otou-san" or something along those lines during that line. I think he just loved and respected Eraqus to the point that he was basically his father, not his real father. The way he says "no" kinda hints at that, like he's changing his view from teacher to father.

NinjaSheik - All of this might have started with a lie...But I'm really am glad that I could meet you... TALK - One day, the light-it will be ours, and it will bring us together. Til then, I'll be in your heart... Master isn't Terra's father, he's just like a father to him. He said before sending Terra and Aqua on their mission to Tera, "I truly to think of you as my own son.".

Kingdomzachdawg The truth is, Ansem, I just can't stand your foul stench. — 02:00, February 17, 2010 (UTC) @ NinjaSheik Oh yeah, I remember that. That pretty much confirms that Eraqus isn't Terra's dad.

Can someone PLEASEEEEEEEEEE tell me how you pronounce Master Eraqus's name? I've been trying to found out for about a month now.--65.247.197.224 03:22, May 9, 2010 (UTC)

Judging from the Japanese pronunciation, it should be something along the lines of eh-racks. Of course, the English release may change that.--Lapis ofthe Night 03:28, May 9, 2010 (UTC)

So in English, it would be something like that, Erakwus

Voice Actor

UxieLover1994 Tiempo de morder de nuevo con el poder! El tema de hoy: su sorpresa! — 03:31, May 30, 2010 (UTC) According to wikipedia, Mark Hamill will voice Eraqus. I am confused. Will the jedi voice him?

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? There is no official confirmatioon for that. Mark Hamill is working on the game, but there has been no official mention as to who he will be voicing. It's just people jumping to conclusions.

UxieLover1994 Tiempo de morder de nuevo con el poder! El tema de hoy: su sorpresa! — 09:51, May 30, 2010 (UTC) I guess you are right. Even there, it is just a rumor. I just read things and get them in my mind.

Auror Andrachome Confounded Heartless! Alot of websites are saying that Mark Hamill or the jedi is voicing him. Of course, DTN, says otherwise, so I will wait.

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? DTN says otherwise because there is no official source.

Mark Hamill is going to be Eraqus. In the immortal words of Zexion: "If you don't believe, the words I say, then perhaps you should see the truth, with your own eyes." Check out the official Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep site. They just posted the E3 trailer. Listen carefully to it. Winxfan1 00:35, June 17, 2010 (UTC)Winxfan1

Oh my god! You're right! I heard the voice, and it sounds just like this guy named "Eraqus"! We should put that up as the VA, since we have confirmation now. Does anyone remember what his last name is?Glorious CHAOS! 01:39, June 17, 2010 (UTC)

Not yet anyway. Show me the written statement that says "Mark Hamill is voicing Master Eraqus in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep", and then we'll unlock the page.EDIT:And Winxfan, KrytenKoro ("Chaos") was being sarcastic and the facepalm was for basically the same thing I just said.

Mark Hamill is voicing Eraqus why dont they put it in Eraqus's profile already

Because we need an official written source. Wikipedia does not count. Organization13 23:00, July 3, 2010 (UTC)

ShadowsTwilight - He's leaving you behind, and when you catch up, he'll be a different person TALK - HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA prove that mark hamill and we'll post it. and no, "it's obviously mark hamill" doesn't count as proof

Eraqus is confirmed to be voiced by Mark Hamill here: http://forums.khinsider.com/future-kingdom-hearts/151133-dengeki-interview.html

The interview is translated with Google translate so not much in the interview makes sense, but it will soon be a better translation by someone that understands japanese.

Also, the interview confirms Master Xehanort to be voiced be Leonard Nimoy. - JTD95 20:05, July 7, 2010 (UTC)

Mark Hamill because of Star Wars

There's been a debate going on for a while about the bit in the Trivia section where it says that in the North American version (it should really say "English version", because the first trailer was a PAL trailer for September 10th) Eraqus is voiced by Mark Hamill who is best known for his role in Star Wars. Now, people like myself began to add that he was also best known for voicing the Joker in the DCAU, yet it kept getting deleted just because Nomura never mentioned it. Even though that's the most ridiculous excuse I can think of, I have a possible solution. In the Trivia section, it can be mentioned like this:

In the English version of the game, Master Eraqus is voiced by Mark Hamill, who was chosen by Tetsuya Nomura specifically for his role as Luke Skywalker in the original Star Wars trilogy.

That may end the debate and get this page unprotected. Who agrees with me? EnglishJoker 10:32, July 27, 2010 (UTC)

I still don't think this needs to be mentioned at all, seeing as the Wikipedia link covers both those roles, but that's a good solution, makes the reason clearer. EDIT: I added something in the coding that should make it even clearer.LapisLazuliScarab10:41, July 27, 2010 (UTC)

I don't think it needs a mention either (because Hamill's name is already in the Infobox), but its just that no one agrees with us on that and insist on putting it there, so here I am, offering the most logical way I can think up of putting it there without further dispute. EnglishJoker 11:11, July 27, 2010 (UTC)

Nomura specifically mentions Luke in the Dengeki interview which covered why he chose Mark Hamill, so it's relevant to the characterization of the character (for example, GameInformer had already run a column comparing the BBS characters to Star Wars a month or two before Mark was even confirmed). The best place to put it would be in some kind of design and conception section, but it is absolutely appropriate to the page. The Joker, however, has nothing to do with Eraqus besides being voiced by the same guy - and down that path would be listing every other VA Mark's done.Glorious CHAOS! 15:44, July 27, 2010 (UTC)

That's my point exactly. If we can't mention the Joker, then we should go with what I suggested or something like it, saying that Nomura chose Hamill for the role because he played Skywalker. What's to stop us doing that and unprotecting the page??? EnglishJoker 17:40, July 27, 2010 (UTC)

It sounds good; I was responding to "I don't think it needs a mention".Glorious CHAOS! 18:28, July 27, 2010 (UTC)

Mark Hamill also voiced the Joker

Why was my edit of adding that Mark Hamill also voiced to Joker (Batman's enemy) removed?!?!

Because it's irrelevant. Nomura only said he picked Hamill because he played Luke; nothing else. And by the way, we all know who The Joker is. maggosh 17:40, September 13, 2010 (UTC)

Eraqus's Spirit?

WingBlade - I'm asking you, as a friend. Just... put an end to me... TALK - {{{time}}} Yet again I saw something immense in the TGS trailer of BBS Final Mix and it's... ARMORED ERAQUS!!! It is true? It must be Eraqus, it/he can summon chains of light like he did to attack Ven.

17master - Hey, guys, check out my new camera! TALK - Oh wait, this isn't a camera... - 03:47, September 25, 2010 (UTC) uh, I don't mean to be rude, but... we discussed this about a week ago. although some believed it's Eraqus' armor, some others are still waiting for confirmation. But I believe it's Eraqus

Galexgan "Strength of Heart will carry you through the hardest of trials." — 04:00, September 25, 2010 (UTC) Wow! I just searched up the video and it's awesome. I can't believe it though, I'm mad as a hornet, BBS release in America with extra's added and they go and release a final mix in japan with even more added... I mean, more answers possibly unlocked but if that's like a Pinochio world added or just Monstro as a world I'm gonna be mad that they did that in the final mix for Japan only... I'm not sure what to think on the armor but looking at location and the chains as you pointed makes it appear very much like Eraqus, not to mention that the armor is very samurai inspired looking, atleast from the brief moment I saw of it. And apparently I'm late to this news as well.

17master - Hey, guys, check out my new camera! TALK - Oh wait, this isn't a camera... - 04:20, September 25, 2010 (UTC) To be honest, I just saw the trailer for the first time a moment ago. And now, I'm convinced it's Eraqus' armor. The teeth of his keyblade is briefly shown and that is indeed Master Eraqus' Keyblade. Further more his attack and stance are Master Eraqus'. Sorry to dissapoint you Galexgan, but ALL Final Mix have never been released outside Japan, so... yeah... I know, it sucked.

Galexgan "Strength of Heart will carry you through the hardest of trials." — 04:30, September 25, 2010 (UTC) I knew that they had all only been released in Japan, I'm just kinda upset that there has been no exception to that yet... :( The NA release shoulda been final mix material as well lol. Well, atleast we got what little extra's we did.

17master - Hey, guys, check out my new camera! TALK - Oh wait, this isn't a camera... - 07:50, September 25, 2010 (UTC) Besides it's kinda tiring to see the translation FAQ every now and then lol. If the new feature is just Eraqus' armor and Monstro, I don't think it's really worth buying. So far the best Final Mix I know is KHIIFM+ since the new keyblade is actually very useful (Two Become One for getting Final Form and cool looks, and Winner's Proof for a Keyblade with the highest magic) and what's more we got the XIII Mushroom side quest, 14 new and powerful secret boss, and Critical mode

WingBlade - Whatever it takes. Anything to save Terra and Aqua. TALK - {{{time}}} Ohhh!! I just wish that BBS Final Mix will be downloadable in the internet. I've played Japanese and NA versions and finished it! So my next achievement is play Final Mix and reveal the secret!!!
