Fire Emblem

Wanted to bring this up with you given you're the Fire Emblem guy: I was planning to work on the recently released Fire Emblem Shadows recently and noticed the only Fire Emblem game articles not at Good/Featured topic are Fire Emblem Warriors, Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, Fire Emblem Heroes, and List of Fire Emblem video games. These articles don't seem like they'd be too difficult to improve, and I believe a tag team effort would be able to net all of them down, and from there the Fire Emblem GT could be expanded to cover all the franchise's games instead of just the main ones.

Obviously not gonna push you if you don't want to, especially if you're busy or have moved onto other topics; I will likely try tackling Shadows anyway, but I wanted to at least inquire with you since it seems like a fun project and two people working at it instead of one would nail it down pretty quickly. Regardless, I hope all is well with you and that everything is going good. Happy editing! Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 03:18, 30 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Pokelego999: The Fire Emblem topic was quite a task, and done when I wasn't as busy in real life as I currently am. Also, I'm still kinda burned out after handling 13 whole games plus rewriting on others. This coming month especially I'll be extremely busy with non-Wikipedia commitments. Plus none of the titles really grabbed me as I'm a story person and not particularly a mobile gamer. I can certainly help find sources for the articles (interviews and such), and if you like I could try and tackle the Musou duology. The list should be easy as we can poach corroborating sources from the main articles mostly. --ProtoDrake (talk) 07:21, 30 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@ProtoDrake that's entirely fair, and I don't want to add more to your plate if you're already busy. I've got experience with recent mobile games so I can bang out Shadows and Heroes relatively quickly, probably; for Warriors, I'll try to give it a shot on my own and let you know if I have any concerns or need any help. I wish you the best with your irl endeavors! Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 15:15, 30 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Help with Japanese

Hi there. I found a certain archived magazines that detailed sketches of two characters I wrote: Ash Crimson and Kyo Kusanagi. I found the sketches of Ash Crimson here but even with google translator I can't find who was credited for the designing such individual. Google translate helps to explain commentary for sketches but I can't find the actual artist behind the character. The same happened with Kyo who was redesigned as explored here but I can't tell if the artist is credited. I was wondering if you could check it you. I'm not confident but many people believe the designs were made two artists who never use their real names: Nona or Falcoon. Anyway, happy editing.Tintor2 (talk) 21:21, 17 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Tintor2: I'll try to check it. For the moment Wayback is flatly refusing to load for me. --ProtoDrake (talk) 22:09, 17 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nevermind. It got checked by another user and apparently no artist is credited for any character Tintor2 (talk) 13:55, 24 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Tintor2: Sorry I didn't get to it. I tried yesterday, but Wayback's refusing to load its texts. I think it's either being visited a lot, or something's being updated. --ProtoDrake (talk) 15:10, 24 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No worries. You always help me :D Tintor2 (talk) 20:23, 24 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. By the way, there is another artist famous for several KOF characters who rarely says his name. He goes by the nickname of "styleos" while his true name is Toshiyuki Kotani (小谷智之). He apparently designed like 20 characters including one of Kyo's new design for the NESTS arc of KOF but I can't seem able to find a source that confirms it in English. The only thing I managed to confirm is that he designed KOF character AngelTintor2 (talk) 16:02, 19 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

By the way. I don't know if you watched the movie but I made an article for the protagonist of Akira, Shotaro Kaneda (Akira). I managed to find reasonable creation section but I couldn't find anything about his two actors. The artbook where I got the creation doesn't seem to be useful if enough for the antagonist, Tetsuo. Cheers.Tintor2 (talk) 20:41, 24 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
