		Any help regarding the table and description would be greatly appreciated...


		BlueHighwind ^Q? TALK - So if you care to find me, look to the Western Sky!ツ:



		I've played FFVII as much as anybody on this wiki, but even I don't know what every single attack does. I'll do the Blue Magic in five minutes.

		Not that I have a better suggestion for it, but who the hell was colour-blind enough to use those colours for the tables?

		Because it's simpler than the white bricked tables to type :P

		Where do I go to submit info...

		Is it OK if I could:- highlight instances when an enemy does not name an ability when it uses it, such as Bodyblow, in italics. indicate abilities that enemies have available to them but do not use it under normal circumstances, or at all, with an asterisk*(Doesn't use under normal circumstances) Add a column showing all abilities' element. Nearly all abilities have elements, even if it is just Cut and Punch.


		Xenomic TALK - 00:49, December 23, 2009 (UTC)



		I think that would be a good idea really, though with the last bit, would we even HAVE room to put that column in??

		I agree with your suggestions, Jepp. The second column detailing the nature of the attack could just decrease in width to accomodate the element column.


		Jeppo TALK - 01:26, December 23, 2009 (UTC)



		I'll start work on it tomorrow. It may take me a while, but hopefully I can get it done with a single edit to minimise any fuss. I'll just save the code on Notepad or something.

Also whether it's physical, magical, or other. Because things like White Wind are physical, which you wouldn't expect. ILHI ^{11:55, December 23, 2009 (UTC)}

BTW, u shud actually do that^ ILHI ^{21:56, December 23, 2009 (UTC)}

Images[]

		Holy shit that's a lot of images. Is that really necessary?


		Xenomic TALK - 07:41, April 4, 2010 (UTC)



		Truth be told, even though I upload a LOT of those images myself, even I'm starting to wonder if it's needed for this page. Sure, it's nice to see what the attacks LOOK like, but maybe they should have their own subpage or something??? What do you guys think? Of course, if we do that for this page, we'd have to do that for all of the Enemy Abilities pages, as they're all going to be as big as this, if not bigger more than likely (looks at FFIV in general)

Internazionale Special:Editcount/TenzaZangetsu Tittles ^{April 4, 2010 (UTC)} - "Yeah, MySpace, what the hell is that? Seriously, is that like some sort of porn site?."

That's a very good idea, I still have a few more to upload myself too.

- Champions League 2009-10: This is our year

Okay, if you want people's thoughts, here's mine: Subpages are a brilliant idea for this situation. HOWEVER, in this situation we have a massive gallery of images that would slow down a page of its own. For articles like FFVII, it should be done. For articles like FFII, it isn't necessary.

But, if you are going to do it like you have in FFII, I think you should do it differently. Make it work like the list of the List of enemies pages, and it can also be used as a checklist. My suggestion is simple:

To me it sounds like a good idea. But I'm not going to stand in your way if you wish to do something else. 88.109.199.147 00:13, April 5, 2010 (UTC)


		Xenomic TALK - 00:15, April 5, 2010 (UTC)



		Hmmm....that would be useful indeed for something like FFII (which isn't going to have that many attacks in it. Hell, FFI I think can do that as well. Every other game I guarantee though will have to be like FFVII's page (well...not EVERY other game, but you know...). I'll wait and see what the others have to say on this before we do anything else.

MP Costs[]

Question! Could this page include "MP Cost" as separate column? I think it would make the page look good. I think if that would happen, that thing would also be done on other Enemy Abilities pages.—Kaimi (999,999 CP/5 TP) 13:56, March 22, 2012 (UTC)

We could also add accuracy, strength, target, and Magic/Physical columns. JBed 14:05, March 22, 2012 (UTC)

Wouldn't it be too much? In that case, they would look more like Dissidia movesets tables.—Kaimi (999,999 CP/5 TP) 14:49, March 22, 2012 (UTC)

I agree that there would probably be too much to look nice in the table. But they are all properties that attacks have. Eh, I don't know. Adding an MP column would be a good idea. JBed 15:23, March 22, 2012 (UTC)

I like this plan. Probably should use Bluestar's Tabber method to make it all fit. Cat 17:33, March 22, 2012 (UTC)

I dislike that method. I also dislike dividing this list by letter.

I prefer larger, sortable tables.

Tho', in this article's current state it lends itself to the tabber method. Blegh. JBed 17:48, March 22, 2012 (UTC)
