Hey

Thanks for uploading and adding those .gif images for BBS. Nice work. ^_^ If you have any questions just ask. Enjoy your stay! Xion4ever Who am I? — 12:45, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

ShardofTruth Once you believe, truth and lie are quite the same thing. — 14:47, 23 May 2012 (UTC) Yes, they are awesome. Thanks for adding them.

GIF Images

The images you are uploading are greatly appreciated. However, please make sure they still are animated once placed in the article itself. It could just be my browser, but the Re:CoM Dark Aura image is only animated when I click on it and view its file page, on which it is very slow... - Eternal Nothingness XIII 21:56, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

This seems to be the case with the other .gif files you've uploaded, as well. Please double-check them. - Eternal Nothingness XIII 22:06, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

Tested Gale of Severance (largest size-hog) at 10fps instead. Better? It should work with the rest, although it sucks that I have to redo Zantetsuken/Sliding Dash and the like (for consistency). Ultima Spark (talk) 22:39, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, I understand where you're coming from. This just boils down to the fact that having a .gif image is irrelevant if it doesn't appear animated on the page for which it was made. I would advise you just double-check the images you upload...If they're slow-moving/not animated in an article, please make any necessary changes. - Eternal Nothingness XIII 23:00, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

Just to help you out a bit, the images I see issues with from the ones you've uploaded are as follows: Mega Flare, Fire Wall, Gale of Severance, Maelstrom, Inverse Burst, Ice Needles, Dark Aura, Dark Break, Lethal Frame, Circle Reject - Eternal Nothingness XIII 23:09, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

Tricky gifs request

Sup. You're doing a good job with your gifs, so I have a request for you. I would like to see if you can get gifs for some of the action abilities listed here. Many of them are incorporated into normal attack combos, so they might be a bit tricky to isolate (and Dodge Slash is a unique combo in itself). Thanks! --Neumannz, The Dark Falcon 17:23, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

Dark Barrage gif

Thanks for bringing another load of great gifs here Ultima Spark, they're excellent. Could you help me with making another Dark Barrage animation where the swords Riku summons can be seen? I created a video and tried to make a gif out of it but after optimizing it to get a smaller file size it just gets annoyingly slow, setting a manual framerate didn't help, I think I don't have the right tools. Could you help me with it? I upload the video here and my failed gif attempt here. Thanks. ShardofTruth 21:20, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

Re:Manga/novel images

We're always open for some quality manga images! Thanks for the offer! I don't know too much about the novels/novel articles...Neumannz/someone else might be the better option to ask on what we need for them. Do the novels have cover images like the manga? If so, those would probably be worth uploading...

For the manga articles, here is a rough list of what we're looking for:

• Front Covers (KH), Chapters: 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 14, 16, 18, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 41, 42
• Back Covers (KH), Chapters: 7, 17, 21, 25, 26, 28, 42
• Front Covers (COM), Chapters: 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 (we have a version, but it is low quality), 13 (see previous reason)
• Front Covers (KHII), Chapters: 1, 2, 3, 6, 14-37
• Front Covers (Days), Chapters: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 13, 15, 16

Notice, for the Days and KHII manga, more cover images will become needed as the volumes are released. For the time being, the list above shows what is needed. The cover images are the big thing right now. Getting these images in will finish up a lot of the individual chapter articles. Also, character images are always needed. If you browse the manga image category you'll find a few character images around. A rough example of what we need: For Sora: version from KH, COM (if noticable difference from KH version), and KHII.

I understand that this is a lot to throw at you, so take your time on it. Image work is a lengthy process. Thanks again for your help! If you have any questions, feel free to message me on my talkpage.--Xion4ever 17:44, 17 March 2014 (UTC)

Calling

KeybladeSpyMaster - There will always be a Door to the light ! TALK - Helping others always comes before asking others for help! - 08:55 PM Thu, April 17, 2014 MST Hey, I realize you've been hard at work with the manga images. We have a specific request as the month quickly comes to an end. To encourage/highlight the manga project, "Calling" has been nominated for the Featured Article of the Month for May (and will probably win). I was hoping you could upload the front cover to "Calling". I asked Xion4Ever, and she directed me to you. If not, that's okay, too. Thanks!

Done. Haven't been doing much scanning lately since I've been busy with university work (essays everywhere, bleh), but I should be back to it in a week or so. (What's with the wiki'd out pictures with the snarky captions, though? Someone's idea of a joke? Carryover from Wikia?) Ultima Spark (talk) 20:52, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

KeybladeSpyMaster - The light'll never give up on you. You'll always find it, even in the deepest darkness! But you have to believe! TALK - You all did great! - 03:02 PM Fri, April 18, 2014 MST Holy cow, thanks a lot! That was really needed. Um, I'm not sure what's with the wiki'd out images...or the comments....

User of the Month

Seems no one has done this yet, so...Congratulations! You have been selected as this month's featured user! This is mainly from your recent help with the manga images/articles. I apologize that your official medal will come at a later time- once Keyblade is finished with it. Regardless, we would like to thank you for your contributions to the Wiki. You get a special thank you from me for uploading the manga front and back covers. That is not an easy or fun job, especially for one person. You have our sincerest trust and thanks. Thank you for your help and may you enjoy your time here! Again, thank you! ^_^ Xion4ever All the world's a joke! — 04:34, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

Here it is! Hot off the presses, your award as this month's featured user! Feel free to post this on your userpage, print it off in the local newspaper- whatever you like. Thanks again for your help, and sorry for the delay! ^_^ Xion4ever Who am I? — 03:46, 14 May 2014 (UTC)

KeybladeSpyMaster - The light'll never give up on you. You'll always find it, even in the deepest darkness! But you have to believe! TALK - You all did great! - 09:28 PM Tue, May 13, 2014 MST Well, I'd like to add my voice to that of Xion4ever's and say Congratulations! We really appreciate the work and uploads you've made. It's really helped the Manga Project take off. I'd like to personally and honestly apologize for the delay, I know I'm part of the reason the image stalled. But I am grateful that you've stuck around and for all your hard work. Again, Congratulations!

Name changes

Let's hold off for a little bit longer before we start rushing to make changes, okay? --Neumannz, The Dark Falcon 14:07, 28 August 2014 (UTC)

Ultimania Request

You seem to have the Kingdom Hearts Series Memorial Ultimania. If you do, could you please check the section on the True Organization XIII on Page 9 for me, please? The current translations on the internet of that page seem to contradict what you brought up regarding Isa in Organization XIII. KeybladeSpyMaster 19:48, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

That wasn't mine, it was from a Tumblr user. My copy's still in transit (shipping issues and all that, maybe another week or so), I can get raw scans of other stuff once it arrives. That said, this scan of the page from KH Insider calls him Saix. But the thing is that the "Xehanort Experience Record" calls him Isa in Japanese (“真のXIII機関”の一員として、アイザを回収。), hence my message in the first place... (the page 9 scan was uploaded after I posted on the talk page) Ultima Spark (talk) 21:17, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

Oh, well, I hope your copy arrives soon, I hear it's good stuff. I figured that the Page 9 scans were posted later; I mean, the translation of Page 9 was posted just yesterday, as far as I know. But since they contradicted, I thought maybe you'd have the Ultimania to double check the translation (in the past, fansites like KHInsider and KH13, where I saw the translation, have been wrong sometimes). I guess, the only way both pages can be right is if both Isa and Saïx are in the True Organization XIII.... KeybladeSpyMaster 21:25, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

Just a bit further down, it actually calls him by both names! The way it's written seems to imply just the one being, rather than two from differing time periods. Ultima Spark (talk) 21:31, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

KH3D Ultimania

Do you have the KH3D Ultimania? TheSilentHero 11:05, 16 November 2014 (UTC)

Yes, I have the whole thing scanned (KH2, KH2FM+, 3D). What data do you need? Ultima Spark (talk) 11:10, 16 November 2014 (UTC)

Well, I was wondering if Nightmare and Spirit Dream Eaters have different attacks. TheSilentHero 11:13, 16 November 2014 (UTC)

From what I can tell, they're the same. Attacks used by Spirits depend on level and disposition, attacks used by Nightmares depend on a given tactical situation (and probably level, I'm not certain). This is from a quick browse, you'll need to find someone with fluent knowledge of Japanese to properly clarify. Ultima Spark (talk) 11:44, 16 November 2014 (UTC)

Thanks! TheSilentHero 11:47, 16 November 2014 (UTC)

Days Manga Request

I have a couple requests, if you don't mind. These are completely optional- do not feel compelled to do either unless you want. Anyways...We'd really appreciate it if you could help us out with two things on the Days manga articles. The first is double checking the titles on this page. I believe volumes one thru three are okay. However, if you could double check four that would be great. Second, the infoboxes for each volume for Days should match the content shown in the infobox for Kingdom Hearts Volume 1. If you could help us out on this, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks again for all your help. Xion4ever 01:42, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

Hello Traveler

I've heard you have the Re;coded ultimania. Could you share it with me? — RikutheBloody 18:14, 3 January 2015 (UTC) RikutheBloody

??? I'm not sure who told you that... I have KH2, KH2FM+, and 3D, but not re:coded. Sorry. Ultima Spark (talk) 02:38, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

Invitation

I would like for you to take part in this project. Byzantinefire - There are no strings on me (talk) 04:48, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

Limits

*creeps in* Hey there, do you think that instead of having .gifs, it would be better to upload the full limits onto the KHWiki's YouTube channel and embed the video onto the limit articles? TheFifteenthMember 19:01, 20 June 2015 (UTC)

My Apology

I feel i should at least apolpgize for saying what i said and i hope we can work peacefully in the future without incident. Byzantinefire - There are no strings on me (talk) 04:37, 12 February 2017 (UTC)

Secret Reports edit

Hey, so I just merged an anon edit to the Secret Reports page, and only afterwards saw your edit and comment. I did finish the game, and based on that, the edit I merged makes sense. However, I personally have not unlocked all the Secret Reports yet or the Secret video, so if you feel that the edit I merged is incorrect/inconsistent with other scenes, feel free to revert it. KeybladeSpyMaster 18:04, 9 February 2019 (UTC)

Ultimania scans

Hey, Ultima Spark, quick question of curiosity. How exactly do you go about scanning the Ultimanias? I mean, those are huge, can't imagine they're easy to scan, right? KeybladeSpyMaster 23:03, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

Bend the pages as far as I dare to without ripping them out (the book spines are kinda stuffed afterward, but no matter tbh), use my iPad to make sure they stay flat during the actual scanning (this may take several tries for a page if the initial scan isn't satisfactory), then do alignment/clean-up in Photoshop. (I use this for scanning, about 4 years old.) Ultima Spark (talk) 00:47, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

Master Xehanort's BBS stats

Hello. Sorry, but why did you remove Master Xehanort's stats from BBS ? Sure you added the KH3 stats, but why remove the BBS stats ? -- BraviDunno 02:18, 20 August 2019 (UTC)

Oops, that was an accident. Added them back now. Ultima Spark (talk) 02:37, 20 August 2019 (UTC)
