Requested a third opinion from VG project. SunrodHercules insists the sentence in the lead "As their journey progresses, they learn that saving Sylvarant endangers Tethe'alla, a world parallel to their own." is fancruft and random crap strung together (dif). I, however, insist that the majority of the plot focuses on those two worlds and is necessary for the lead, since the "They journey to save the world" is too generic.

"As their journey progresses, they learn that saving Sylvarant endangers Tethe'alla, a world parallel to their own." where it is placed, does not make any sense. It's also not what the majority of the games plot is about, if anything one could argue the last third. Not that it fixes the actual issue, here is the whole statement, "The game takes place in a fictional world called Sylvarant and follows Lloyd Irving. Lloyd accompanies his childhood friend, Colette Brunel, who is destined to go on a journey to save their world. As their journey progresses, they learn that saving Sylvarant endangers Tethe'alla, a world parallel to their own. The game's central theme is Kimi to Hibiki au RPG (君と響きあうRPG?, lit. "To Resonate With You RPG").[3]" It's extra spoiler for no reason and doesn't provide any helpful description that one would consider to be adequate. I may as well add "They often run into wonderchef along the way" to the end because it just seems like a list of events instead of being necessary for the lead as DragonZero is claiming. Not to mention, that piece of plot is also in the plot section of the article. BTW, I don't appreciate that false "fancruft" you added, but It does sound like random crap put together next to each other when you actually read the sentence out loud. I don't think we should be inconsistent for the sake of preventing the "generic" virus. SunrodHercules (talk) 01:39, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
You know what, it's cool man, I was in a bad mood about something else before editing the page, and then you said I called it fancruft and I skipped a never for a second. It's not that big of a deal. I'll come back to it later, it actually just needs to be edited rather than removed. Serge already gave the third opinion, so we'll leave it at that. No hard feelings. SunrodHercules (talk) 01:51, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
It actually was nt introduced early on. But what should be done if you really want to keep it there, is edit the sentence so the paragraph does not read like a list and separate the sentence talking about the games theme song. SunrodHercules (talk) 17:14, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
The fact that there are two worlds was introduced in less than 1/4 of the game, 1/2 of the first disc, and was even mentioned in reviews (1 and 2). This can be used with Tezero's argument about common spoiler. DragonZero (Talk · Contribs) 22:57, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
