8bit BlackMage - Beyond the Sky TALK - Why do chemists call helium, curium, and barium 'the medical elements'? Because, if you can't 'helium' or 'curium', you... um... ._.; - {{{time}}} | |||
Prompted by a forum created by Dazuro on the crystalline Chaos Guardians in the Crystal, is there someone out there who can upload images of those four crystal enemies? I know a site that has small screenshots of those enemies, but if anyone could upload a transparent background images, that would be great. | |||
Uploaded. You now have no choice but to upload a transparent background image over them. | |||

Thanks Bluer!!! I have no idea how to upload transparent backgrounds I heard transparent = good so I suggested it even though I fail at these sort of things but the images will only go in the boss templates, so they'll be great. | |||
Actually, I tried to make the background transparent, but somehow my photoshop config had changed. Someone else would edit it probably. | |||

Would you mind checking the Japanese and Romaji on the new crystal Chaos enemies? I'm not sure if the crystalline versions in Japan retain the exact title as their "real" counterparts, as in the English localization. And thanks for the thanks on the Loot page :) | |||
About Tiamat's gender in FF9...[]
Didn't Steiner and/or Vivi at one point refer to this one as a male?
- Maybe so, but that doesn't mean Steiner and/or Vivi actually know it's gender. Tiamat is generally thought of as a female because she is inspired by the goddess (and her name's not a pun like Shiva(h)'s ). 62.212.142.73 23:47, December 30, 2013 (UTC)IsaWP
- There is no confirmation. The general standard in this case would probably be to use "It." Tia-Lewise

- True and yes, here we could use 'it" as we are talking about a fictional monster, although it is frowned on as an alternative to 'he' and 'she' for characters and in real life. I made the article gender-neutral. 62.212.142.73 03:36, January 16, 2014 (UTC)IsaWP
- How is there no confirmation? We know from the dialogue that at least the Wind Guardian is male, so it seems safe to assume this incarnation of Tiamat is too. 65.92.72.235 22:56, March 12, 2015 (UTC)
- "Safe to assume" is not a literal confirmation, though.-- Technobliterator TC 23:00, March 12, 2015 (UTC)
- Um... Shouldn't we use singular they? I think it's a more encyclopedic approach that using "it", although in Quina's case we should still use "he/she" since this is how they're referred as such in the English version.—Kaimi (999,999 CP/5 TP) ∙ 23:40, March 12, 2015 (UTC)
- It pretty much is a confirmation though. Because Tiamat is the Wind Guardian. "Tiamat, here referred to as Wind Guardian". JBed (talk) 00:48, March 13, 2015 (UTC)
