[edit] Title Looks Like...

I just realized about how similar the title to this game looks like the legend of zelda one64.123.79.254 12:05, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Too long

This article doesn't need to be this long. There's no use in summarizing the plot from the perspective of every named character in the game. I suggest that this article be reduced. Shiva Indis 05:33, 2 August 2006 (UTC)


I was just wondering why it is you think that it needs to be summarizied? Don't get me wrong, I don't intened to change it, but I had alot of information, and I just supposed that people would want as much information as they could get.

I think the article needs less plot summarization. For example, as it stands right now, the article says in three different places that despite claims that they will be separated in the new world, Will and Kara are reunited. Preferably something like that should not be repeated at all. This sort of repetition was present in each character entry, and built the article up to a size of about 48kb, when 32kb is Wikipedia's recommended limit.
There was also a lot of material in the article that was just conjecture. There's no dialogue in the game to support the claim that Freejia is emptied of people by the vampires. Only one person in the Ocean Palace actually states that they came from Freejia, and the fact that they all look like they come from Freejia doesn't constitute proof. Likewise, there is no way to confirm that Dao is the capital of the desert, or that the scene after the final credits takes place in South Cape. Also, Wikipedia is not a strategy guide, and a list of all the bosses and their attacks is close to crossing the line. Shiva Indis 17:14, 5 August 2006 (UTC)


Quite sorry, my bad. You're more of a seasoned pro at Wikipedia than I am. I am sorry for causing any chaos, although I'm 99.9% sure the people in the ocean palace are from Freeja. ~PhantomBPR

No problem at all. I know Wikipedia's guidelines can be overwhelming. But thanks to your contributions, this article is very thorough now. Shiva Indis 22:14, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cut me down!

Man, this article needs to be shortened. I don't even know where to start... Sraan 03:32, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Organize

Think maybe we could create different articles in order to shorten the original? Like creating a "Illusion of Gaia Monster List" and "Illusion of Gaia Locations"?Leonida November 21th 2006

[edit] Future?

I have played this game countless times, and nowhere does it imply that this game is set in the future of our own earth. I suppose it could be looked at that way, but it seemed that this was just a time period prior to the 20th century; I saw nothing in the game that implied that Illusion of Gaia takes place in the future, with the exception of the ending. At the most, this seems to be speculation; I see no proof that this is true. I intend to look into this. Because I have found no proof that what was claimed was true, I have deleted it. PhantomBPR

[edit] More Cuts?!

I look at this discussion page, and I see so many suggestions to cut this page down even more so! It is minimal enough as it is, if anything it needs more info.

I assume you are tongue-in-cheek. This thing is huge! 70.56.114.69 16:30, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

There was no sarcasm in any of that, I was serious, hell I still am.

[edit] Missing Dungeon

The temple mountain near Euro, with its strange plants is missing in the article! (i think its based upon wawel temple mountain in krakow/poland, which in a hindu legend is said to be one of the energetic centers of the world, cause one of a goddess tears dropped there. (some others dropped in rome or jerusalem f.e.))
