for example one of each character and 2 for the characters that appear in both games.(1 for each game.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.208.59.120 ( talk) 18:14, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
This is an issue I have been in a discussion with here, but I feel a decision must be taken. Taking into account my former rash action, which shall not influence my judgement here, I want to propose a move or renaming of the article. Changing it from Characters of Final Fantasy XIII, XIII-2 and Lightning Returns to something like Characters of the Lightning Saga (while links on the Final Fantasy Character template can still use the simple Final Fantasy XIII name to avoid confusion).
The reason for this is quite plain: since the release of Final Fantasy XIII, there have been two sequels announced: one is already out ( Final Fantasy XIII-2) and one shall release this autumn. Therefore, the old title was misleading. It was still treating the characters as if they were from one game, and were not featured or come from three different one released over five years. The reason I pick on Lightning Saga for the new title is because, since the announcement, Square Enix, or rather the game's creators Toriyama and Kisate, have been referring to the trilogy of games as the Lightning Saga, and these games have been classified as such in the Fabula Nova Crystallis template. Here are a few references that support the "Lightning Saga" title: 1, 2 3, 4. Readers will note that all the articles use the term "Lightning Saga" in their text.
I feel reluctant to do the move myself (given that the current, slightly messy title is my doing because of a hasty and ill-considered move), but once a consensus is reached as to the exact title under which this article should be known, the article can easily be moved by another, more experienced editor. But I do feel that, before we get lumbered with new characters Lightning Returns is sure to introduce, we should make it clear that there is more than one game involved here. Comments would be most appreciated. -- ProtoDrake ( talk) 21:00, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
Since there seemed to be enough of a consensus, I have done the move. I have done it after much consideration, and reworked the article accordingly. Now new characters can be added when needed. And if we need to do redirects and create links that don't seem strange to people not in the know, I think that can be done easily enough. This is a start. -- ProtoDrake ( talk) 20:11, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
Agreed. However that's what redirects are for sometimes. Its not officially considered a trilogy so it was a bad idea to move simply because one editor disagreed. Lucia Black ( talk) 19:36, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
Moved to 'Characters of the Final Fantasy XIII series' over the redirect. Don't worry about it, ProtoDrake, it only takes a second to do. I can move it around all day if need be. -- Pres N 22:10, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
I am using the Ultimanias as references (Specifically the XIII Scenario and Omega books and the XIII-2 Omega) to help put in details about the characters and background details. They look fine to me, but others might want a specific page number(s). Can anyone provide me with translations of some sort, or at least something that shows what info is on which page? Even if it's not needed now, it may well be later in either another article or this one. -- ProtoDrake ( talk) 13:08, 6 May 2013 (UTC)
I was looking at all the stuff for the XIII games, and it came to me. Though they are or will be mentioned prodigiously in the games, and play a crucial part in their mythos and an active role in the story, Etro and Bhunivelze aren't here. Admittedly Bhunivelze should be saved until Lightning Returns is released and there is more to say about him, but Etro has had an enormous amount said about her. I don't think she's the only Final Fantasy character who does not have a voice actor or asserts herself as a powerful presence rather than as a physical being. Bhunivelze is likely to be similar, although he might get a voice actor. I know the gods appear in the whole Fabula Nova Crystallis mythos, but I think we could work round that. It seems a little silly to keep mentioning or referring to them over and over and saying nothing much about them. Note that this is a long-term discussion. We need to get all facts and details straightened out before I or anyone else puts anything in. (Oh, and an afterthought. Maybe the fal'Cie could be included, in the same vein as the Occuria from XII. Just a thought, given that they don't seem to be referenced in the other FNC games by that name.) -- ProtoDrake ( talk) 23:47, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

Theres no issue, just wohltemperierte is clarifying. Regardless, the "setting section" does little to clarify between characters section. If its too difficult to understand, it may go into too detail or doesnt clarify properly. But the setting section isnt an issue. People should be able to comprehend the basics of these characters and what their doing throughout the series. Lucia Black ( talk) 23:06, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
