Talk:Seifer

Adding On

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... Even though Seifer did appeared in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, his name was mention when Roxas first encounter Hayner, Olette, and Pence on his day off in the Organization. Do he add this to his profile? Also, same thing goes for Sally. Her name was mention, but she never appeared. From what her father said, Sally spotted Lock, Shock, and Barrel in the game.

Fighting Style

You're all morons. — 01:52, March 4, 2010 (UTC) The fighting style section of this page is completely blank. o.o Unless someone was intending to wright one this very moment should we really leave a blank section there? EDIT: Also, does anyone know what the possessive form of Sorceress is?

Of course not, thanks for noticing this. If you'd like (or someone else), add a brief little snippit of information to it; similar to Vivi's article. Xion4ever Who am I? — 01:57, March 4, 2010 (UTC)

JFHavoc Talk to Me! — I once took an IQ test and got a score of over 9000. You're all morons. — 02:02, March 4, 2010 (UTC) Normally I would, but I don't remember his fighting style very well. I usually just beat him into submission and don't get much of a chance to see his attacks. So anyone who actually knows how he fights should probably take this one. Also, on a side note, is it just me or is there something wrong with the navigation templates?

You could just summarize the opening paragraph from the battle article, but I digress. The possessive form of Sorceress I believe is "Sorceress'." It depends on the context its being used in. For example: "The King was worried about the Sorceress' chanting." Puts emphasis on the chanting the Sorceress is doing. Compare that sentence to this one: "The King was worried about the Sorceress chanting." Puts emphasis on the Sorceress, not her chanting. See? Xion4ever Who am I? — 02:06, March 4, 2010 (UTC)

KrytenKoro - "It's always best when the other chap is willing to die for his beliefs; you both have the same goal in mind." TALK - Actually, you never drop the possessive s unless the word is already plural, so it would be "Sorceress's".

No, KrytenKoro, that isn't true. If a word has an S at the end of it, then you only put an apostrophe. For example, "Roxas' bedroom" is correct, while "Roxas's bedroom" isn't. Breloomasaurus ^{(and her talk page)}: Read Total Drama Flipside! 21:28, August 26, 2010 (UTC)

Please read the MLA, or apostrophe. Hell, there's webcomics about this, even.Glorious CHAOS! 15:31, August 27, 2010 (UTC)

"Roxas's Bedroom" is entirely correct, and in fact preferred.Glorious CHAOS! 15:32, August 27, 2010 (UTC)

Quotes?

I just looked over this page, and I was wondering if you should have like, a couple Seifer Quotes. Just a question. Oh, and I'm not sure how to do this, but if you need to talk to me, my username is KHGenesis. I don't know how to do the link thingy.

You sign your posts with four tildes like this: ~~~~ .As for the quotes, as long as they're from Seifer in Kingdom Hearts, there's no real reason not to.LapisLazuliScarab22:40, June 4, 2010 (UTC)

OK! Um, what do you mean by that? Let me try...I don't think it will work though... Genesis NEEDS to be in Kingdom Hearts! 22:54, June 4, 2010 (UTC)

It did work...yay! Genesis NEEDS to be in Kingdom Hearts! 22:54, June 4, 2010 (UTC)

Seifer being friends

I disagree with claiming Seifer was being totally mocking (with zero sincerity) when he mentioned the possibility of friendship with Roxas. If NinjaSheik has something we can both find satisfactory, go for it. Another possibility is just erasing the friendship part entirely. Soroxas (talk) 19:48, 25 June 2018 (UTC)

His tone in that line was, in the English dub, very sarcastic. The wording of the line is also very aggressive. The journal talks about there being bad blood between Seifer and Hayner's gang, and as soon as Sora shows up, Seifer accuses them of being there to pick a fight. It's possible the line was a prelude to his eventual grudging respect for Sora, who didn't have the "bad blood" between them, but at the moment in time he gave that line, it seemed pretty clear he still hated Roxas."We're werewolves, not swearwolves." (KrytenKoro) 20:48, 25 June 2018 (UTC)

That was also part of my reasoning I presented before. Seifer and Roxas clearly are being antaognistic towards each other: facial expression, body language, tone, and dialogue makes this very clear. But I'd like to go a bit deeper, as Soroxas made the remark that I was "forcing my interpretation" of the scene rather than relying on what's objectively shown in the scene. In fact, completely disregarding the tone, the dialogue itself clearly indicates Seifer was being sarcastic in his scene with Roxas. First, here is the scene in the Japanese and the English versions of the game. From the beginning, the argument Soroxas presented was contradictory, as she kept pointing back the sarcastic line Seifer said without bothering to look at the following that makes it clear Seifer was being mocking in this scene. The conversation is as followed:

Seifer: "Why does looking at you always tick me off?"

Roxas: "I dunno. Maybe it's destiny."

Seifer: "Destiny... In that case, let's be friends. I don't feel like cooperating with destiny."

May I draw your attention to the line I have bolded. If Seifer was sincere by saying, "It's destiny, then let's be friends," then why would he say in the next line, "I don't feel like cooperating with destiny"? He's outright rejecting the idea of being friends with Roxas and co. by saying a line that completely contradicts the previous one. He's saying, "If it's destiny for us to be friends, then I'm not going to cooperate with that destiny." The Japanese dialogue matches with the English, as Seifer states in the Japanese he wants to resist destiny. It's a clean translation between the Japanese and English versions, and again, it's pretty obvious Seifer only showed up in that scene to make fun of Roxas and friends. As Kryten pointed out, the journals make it clear that the virtual version Seifer has bad blood against Roxas and friends.

Outside the stimulation, Seifer still exhibits his more negative traits. That said, he's not a bad character, as he later gives Sora the Struggle trophy as a sign of respect for his strength, but that is a completely separate matter. Again, this isn't a personal interpretation, but rather an objective fact given to us, the viewers, clearly through the characters' body language, facial expressions, tone, dialogue, and the full context of the scene and the relationship between these characters. Please provide an objective counterargument without biases or subjective feelings if you have one. If none is presented, we'll bring in other users and cast a vote, as per policy.--NinjaSheik 21:26, 25 June 2018 (UTC)

First of all, I'm not female (and you criticized me for assuming things about you...)

Secondly, I'm not denying there's been rivalry and bad blood and hostility between Seifer and Roxas. However, just because there has been in the past, it doesn't mean that the two can't show some friendliness eventually or change their feelings.

Thirdly, just because Seifer gives a reason for wanting to be friends (i.e. not cooperating with fate), it doesn't make a possible desire any less real. Sure, he may want to become friends (or at the very least, be friendlier) because he hates the idea of being a victim of fate, but it doesn't necessarily mean he's mocking the possibility of a friendship as if it's a stupid idea. If anything, he's entertaining and pondering the idea, not throwing it out the window and thinking becoming friends is a ridiculous idea.

Fourthly, I stand by my point that you thinking there's no sincerity at all from Seifer is still an interpretation (not a fact) of that scene, and that by denying all possible sincerity and rejecting my interpretation as a possibility, you're pushing an interpretation. But that's enough about that, or we'll keep going in circles. At the end of the day, we can't know all of Seifer's true intentions during that scene, so we should leave it open ended. Like the lyrics of Don't Think Twice from KH3, sometimes people can say things they don't really mean. Soroxas (talk) 22:22, 25 June 2018 (UTC)
