Not sure if you caught wind of my discussion with Follower or like me you're trying to minimize the redirect, but thanks. Working on the other main games in a bit as I'm on my phone, but will be getting on my laptop [[User:Antiyonder|Antiyonder]] ([[User talk:Antiyonder|talk]]) 16:42, 25 January 2020 (EST) | Not sure if you caught wind of my discussion with Follower or like me you're trying to minimize the redirect, but thanks.

:Yes, I had first noticed the templates on the Puff-Puff page but hadn't actually thought of using them until I saw your topic on Follower's talk page, so I thought I might as well update it since I'm doing the Memoriam pages and it's much easier to type than the full title. | :Yes, I had first noticed the templates on the Puff-Puff page but hadn't actually thought of using them until I saw your topic on Follower's talk page, so I thought I might as well update it since I'm doing the Memoriam pages and it's much easier to type than the full title. | ||
==Thanks for the transcripts and party chat== | |||
Thanks a million for ripping the phone versions to get the text out, that could not have been a small undertaking. Do you have any plans for how to organize it? Such as in the party chat's case, where the location can be used as the section header and brief descriptions to break up the text inside the tabs. That's just the first thing to come to my mind, and since you did the hard work it's your call as far as I'm concerned. once I start up new playthroughs of IV and VI I can follow suit with the method you choose and chip away at the mountain of text.

:Your welcome, as for organization I did think of splitting up each section by general location. However, the files are not cleanly segmented by town or general region, and I'm loath to split up text outside of the files they were in. Another concern is that there's duplicates of dialogue boxes, where an event happens and some NPCs say something different afterwards but others repeat lines. This would be correct from a technical standpoint, but it hampers user readibility when there's three or four sections of repetitive text with a little unique dialogue sprinkled in. This would also help reduce the huge file size of the page; for me, the page lags when I try to edit it. Party chat isn't as extensive in IV compared to the other two in the Zenithian Trilogy either, just the party chat for VI is only marginally smaller than the entire transcript for IV. This could potentially lead to huge pages that are difficult to edit if we decide to rip V or VI's transcript. As for party chat, I was thinking of matching up the character's responses with the NPC dialogue they adhere to, so as to give context rather than grouping them up in their own sections. But for right now, I'm content with how it's organized. I should concentrate on just cleaning up the sections themselves. | |||
:In any case, it was easier than you would expect. All I did was download the Android APK, extract the contents and then I used Notepad ++ to group all of the files into a single Word document (with autocorrect turned off). I assume this will be as simple for the rest of the games released on mobile devices, and of course the old Dragon Warrior titles will be easy as well.
