Updates[]
I've looked over the rules on the Images, especially the one about the Unused Files repository. But I think I need some clarity on a few things regarding this topic.
1. Uploading images from fan-translated patches
I've mentioned this before, but not only do most of the original Innocence gameplay images have the fan-translated names from Absolute Zero, but the translated subtitles from their batch. Some of the Vesperia images are under the same situation. I'm feeling a bit against the idea in general, but are we allowed to upload fan-translated images? If not, then...
2. Updating images
I've noticed that the animations showing Shining Fang and Shining Fang Drop are nearly identical. That honestly doesn't sit right with me because Shining Fang Drop adds a downward strike at the end of Shining Fang.
I say this because I know that an arte screenshot is supposed to have at least two necessities;
.jpg){kind=link}
.jpg){kind=link}
- a clear visual of the animation
- the differences that separate it from the other artes
The name itself, I believe, is a bottom necessity. Which is why, in my opinion, some of the screenshots were taken either a little too early, or had something blocking the animation.
With all that said, is it possible for us to take the images we've already uploaded and make sure they're up to date?
- I'm generally against this practice but will grandfather in the existing ones.
- Because there is a significant amount of animation, I don't believe that there is any one good pose, and while some could be clearer, it's not wrong to have the existing image. I will generally not entertain updating them for minimal gain without a more compelling reason.

Well, I've been uploading "cinematic" screenshots for two reasons.
- They have a close-up visual of the arte's animation that I can't get generically from the game's camera.
- Most of them don't have much blocking the animation (i.e. status bars, damage/hit counts and subtitles).
But somehow, I feel like even that doesn't count.
