THe Game's Order
I am going to move "Majin no Fue" behind Curious Village since it is the game's prequel. Even though the game is coming out after Curious Village, it took place many years before... IF you have any questions, I'll be glad to discuss them with you...AlexanderLD (talk) 11:22, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
- What is the actual reason for it to be in chronological order? Haipa Doragon (talk • contributions) 21:16, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
- Because that is the most logical way to have the list.... Think of Star Wars. They had the order of the movies like 4,5,6,1,2,3. That is how they are doing the Layton series, so I think it would be best to follow that order. AlexanderLD (talk) 11:54, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
- No, the Star Wars template is ordered from 1 to 6, with the prequels first. Whatever it is like with the Star Wars template, anyway, I don't really see how it is "logical". The release order is the order in which their context in the real world, i.e. as shown by sources, exists, so it makes more sense to order it based on that rather than something secondary like the in-universe series plot.

- Well then can we do it just like that one. Have the prequel trilogy, and then the first trilogy. I would like it to be listed chronologically. —Preceding unsigned comment added by AlexanderLD (talk • contribs) 12:41, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
- The division between Star Wars Episode 1/2/3 and 4/5/6 is official, unlike that of the games of Professor Layton. There is only one Layton series and Curious Village is undeniably the first game that was released in the series. See also Wikipedia:Manual of Style (writing about fiction).

- Arranging by chronological order with video games is very in-universe. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 09:46, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
- As a person with absolutely no experience with Professor Layton, I was confused that Curious Village wasn't listed first despite being the first game released. I actually had to check one of the prequel game's pages to see that it was a prequel and guess that it was being listed chronologically, but then I was further confused by the Eternal Diva, which is listed as part of the "main series" with no given distiniction that this is a movie and not a game.--Claude (talk) 06:52, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

- I'm reordering the game's back to the order in which they were released. Since there is already a chronological order template on each of the pages it would lead to less confusion on the template.KiasuKiasiMan (talk) 10:31, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
- Um, I am putting it back to the chronological order, since 1: Level-5 numbered the games that way. 2: If there is a chronological order on each of the pages, people are going to be more confused seeing the games again out of chronological order. AlexanderLD (talk) 13:45, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
- 1: So? It's not uncommon that a series has a fictional chronology. 2: It's redundant to have two almost identical templates on a page. Also every other series navbox uses a real-world chronology, I don't see why this one has to be different. --Mika1h (talk) 15:54, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
- I dont know what the problem is, but the chronological order is really much easier. People are really confused about the prequels, if you just say Main Series Chronologically, that would just eliminate the problems. And, Level-5 called Eternal Diva, Professor Layton 1.5. So it belongs with the main series. —Preceding unsigned comment added by AlexanderLD (talk • contribs) 16:27, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
- How easy is it for someone to navigate a template if they don't know anything about the series? And no, we do not include two media formats together. Video games, other media. That's it. Plot connection does not equal being in the main series. You use the Star Wars template as an example for chronological listing, but not for the fact that it doesn't include other media into the main template, I see. FYI, however, Star Wars now lists by release date, not when the films take place. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 05:11, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
- Whatever this is Wikipedia, I dont really care at this point. Just one thing, why do you keep changing Specter's Flute to Majin no Fue. I already provided a source with BOTH NINENDO OF AMERICA AND NINTENDO OF EUROPE calling the game Specter's Flute. Thata pretty good confirmation, so I will be changing the name back.69.124.227.89 (talk) 13:25, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Wandering Castle
A little while back, I made a change as my school's IP (216.162.89.85) regarding the order of Wandering Castle and Phantom Deity within the template. Seeing as vandalism by others in my school has made it impossible for me to edit from there, I've switched to my personal account. Now, since that change was reverted, I realized that I had made a mistake and should have asked about it here first.
Now, my question is: Why is Phantom Deity, which was published after and takes place after Wandering Castle, before Wandering Castle in the template? Is there any debate over the order, as there is with the prequels? Bobtheadventurer (talk) 17:50, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
- Phantom Deity takes place BEFORE Wandering Castle, so I guess it would be easy to chronolize the series. AlexanderLD (talk) 13:45, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
