IT makes sense to have it go to Samurai (disambiguation) since I searched for Samurai Warriors and expected an article about Samurai not an obscure video game. ShigeruNomi 06:43, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This game is not obscure in the United States, and makes about as much sense as redirecting the original Japanese video game title (Sengoku Musou) to Sengoku Jidai. For that matter, a game that sold a million copies in Japan, more than that in the US, and has a sequel upcoming is not obscure, and falls well within notability standards for Wikipedia. What would make MORE sense is for have the top of the Samurai Warriors article (all capitalized) to say, "This article is about the video game. For the historical Japanese warrior caste, please see Samurai." I think this would be a more reasonable compromise. Usually, when native English speakers refer to samurai, they do not append warriors to the end, as this is considered redundant. -- Miwa * talk * contribs ^_^ 02:03, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
ShigeruNomi, I strongly object. This videogame is part of a series (Dynasty Warriors) that has sold millions worldwide. If you think of it as obscure, you obviously have no knowledge of the game itself. Why, then, are you here? The redirect is stupid - no one says "Samurai Warriors" - in the West, and indeed probably the East, the common mode of reference is just "Samurai". Plus, why would you capitalise "Warriors"? I'm reverting the redirect and will continue to do so if you even think of changing it back. I'm sorry, but this very idea is silly. IDX 12:35, 26 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Duplicates!

[edit]
Er, why are there two copies of this article? -- Cronocke 01:25, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It looks like this occured when Toasthaven2 made Samurai Warriors into a redirect page to Samurai in June, and created Samurai Warriors (video game). The redirect was reverted by 75.10.8.89 but the duplicate page not handled. Since more edits have been made to Samurai Warriors (video game) than this article since June, I would suggest leaving that as the main article and turning this into a disambiguation page. Marasmusine 06:39, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I'd actually recommend that Samurai Warriors (video game) redirect to Samurai Warriors, as it's related to the Dynasty Warriors article (same company), and for reasons stated above, the Samurai Warriors article shouldn't redirect to Samurai itself. The little note at the top works just fine. If we're just unwilling to compare passages between the two pages and consolidate, I can volunteer. -- Cronocke 23:00, 4 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, I think it's better that way. I tried comparing the two before but my eyes went dizzy and I had to lie down. Marasmusine 06:46, 5 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect is up. Feel free to revert if necessary. -- Cronocke 10:59, 5 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Good job, Cronocke. Also, Marasmusine, your user name sounds a bit like Date Masamune. (Just noticing.) -BlueCaper (talk) 02:19, 13 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Non-player character list

[edit]

I'm considering the removal of the list of non-playable characters; it takes up a large amount of space without providing any useful information. A simple statement such as 'many historical samurai from the Sengoku period make appearances in the game as non-playable characters' would suffice. Opinions? Marasmusine 19:22, 23 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

To quote the tag I've just added: Articles on computer and video games should not list minutiae... Marasmusine 19:30, 23 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]


No. I used used samurai warriors in a report I did in school, and without that list I don't know what I would have done.

Okay, fair enough; I'm going to listify it then. Marasmusine 07:58, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Samurai Warrior Series

[edit]

I'd consider making articles for the seperate games. It's just getting confusing when it switchs from Samurai Warriors 1 to Samurai Warriors 2 then back to Samurai Warriors 1 without even telling you that.


No, it really needs to be done like Dynasty Warriors page if you ask me. Seraphimneeded 08:07, 16 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That gamecleanup tag...

[edit]

...has been there since December so I thought I would start work on this article.

I have gone through the Fighting section and removed parts that were just too detailed and often resembled game instructions (e.g. we don't need to know what PlayStation button does what or exactly how the different combos are performed), and made other parts less verbose.

Before I go ahead and look at the other sections I thought I would stop and see if any editors wanted to discuss this first (plus reading this has made me want to go and play Samurai Warriors 2 :>) Marasmusine 10:23, 23 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Massive Clean Up relating to SWXL & SW2

[edit]

Ok, I just did a massive clean up, trying to move all of SWXL and SW2 stuff into a section for each. I also tried to remove duplicate data related to those games. Chances are I probably screwed something up big time because I had to change a lot of the wording for it to make sense... or of course I could have just missed moving something or moved something I shouldn't have. Seraphimneeded 08:55, 16 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I say we combine all the SW game articles into one

[edit]

Why not just combine all of them like the DW article, then they can each branch off? It would be a lot easier to find the articles and it would be more organaized. 202.69.180.64 (talk) 14:48, 7 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

State of War and Katana info left out

[edit]

Which characters are in SW: State of War and SW: Katana? I do not know these questions, but, if I get Katana for Christmas, I may find out half of that and would share my knowledge on Wikipedia. -BlueCaper (talk) 02:15, 13 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Character list should point to the character list not the legendaries

[edit]

The articles in this franchise need to be swept so that the characters mentioned should link to List of Samurai Warriors characters. For example, Hanzō Hattori should refer to List of Samurai Warriors characters#List_of_Samurai_Warriors_characters#Hanz.C5.8D_Hattori_.28.E6.9C.8D.E9.83.A8_.E5.8D.8A.E8.94.B5.3F.29 as depicted in the franchise, not the Hanzo Hattori of history. Within that list is already a "further information" to the historical Hanzō Hattori. Exceptions can be made for Samurai Warriors original characters that have their own article.
