Koei Fandom wiki?
Should there be a fandom wikia just for Koei games? Yes No

This has been brought up by Ericard, but it feels weird to only have him start up without too many people backing him up. I'm for it, since I know people really like the Warriors series, but I'm not willing to have any part of it personally. So, I am asking if anyone -even the people who just casually visit this wikia- is interested in having a separate database for all of the silly, quirky, fun things that fans make up for Koei games. Support it if you wish and run it as you guys wish. My only request is that it be free reign for anything fan related. :3 It's not fun -and a bit childish- to bash or discriminate too much over liking a particular character.

Character Symbolism
Kinda thinking of adding this to the Character Info section. Mostly because a lot of the Japanese names for weapons or other gimmicks lose their integrity in one way or another when the games are localized. Such as Honda's fourth weapon in Samurai Warriors. It's not Tonbogiri; the Japanese name refers to a god in Buddhism who is associated with the Four Heavenly Kings worship. Xu Huang's original name for his third and fourth weapons are references to the Four Divine Beasts in Asian mythology and contrasts Guan Yu's weapon names; the White Tiger (Xu Huang) and Blue Dragon (Guan Yu) are opposites in the four directions (Baihu being west, Qinglong being east). Stuff like that. Since not every character has these type of references, I was thinking of making it a flexible section (if they have something like it great; if not, don't include it).

If we do add it though, I would rather the section be specific to the character in someway not otherwise mentioned in the development section. I would also like to avoid the obvious references regarding character appearances (such as red dominate color scheme=Wu in Dynasy Warriors or the Azai crest on Oichi's outfit) unless they are significant with real life portrayal of the character (i.e: Zhuge Liang with a feathered fan). If it's something that can be linked back into the character's historical or mythological information or to other NPC characters, then even better. This might be one big waste of time though, so I'm wondering if we should even include it. Thoughts please? Sake neko 17:06, August 17, 2010 (UTC)
