Trivia
"A Cat 'o Nine Tails is a special type of whip with nine branches, favoured because it is unlikely to miss and inflicts great damage, much like the skill." - This reference makes no sense to me. Why would an Asian-based game contain a reference to a whip that was actually invented by the British and originally used as a Navy punishment device? Given the Asian-based setting of Factions and the fact multi-tailed beasts are a fairly well-known from Asian mythology by Westerners even (especially nine-tailed ones), I think this reference has no basis and I therefore removed it.

 * Er, Fyren, your recent edit made the trivia more incorrect. Kitsune is simply the Japanese word for fox. And while there can be fox-like creatures with multiple tails, they're not the only creatures, perhaps just the most well-known. I'll re-work it in a bit if no one else does before I get around to it. Capcom 00:04, 2 February 2007 (CST)
 * The "spirits" are also called kitsune. --Fyren 00:04, 2 February 2007 (CST)
 * Only the fox ones are. As I said, the fox ones are the most well-known, but I kinda disagree with the wording you used. It just seems odd, like implying kitsune is reserved specifically for the multi-tailed beasts and that there's no others. :/ Capcom 00:08, 2 February 2007 (CST)
 * Find a reference to nine-tailed beasts in Japanese mythology (read: not Naruto) before changing it, then. --Fyren 00:15, 2 February 2007 (CST)
 * Hmm, after doing more thorough study on the multi-tailed beasts in Asian mythology, I interestingly found only foxes with nine tails; the others all had less. By no means does this mean it's for sure as I could have easily just not found the information on them, but I'd say given the fact I couldn't readily find anything nor recall any from my own knowledge and media, I guess it's safe to say the nine-tailed foxes are at least the only well-known ones. I still find the article's wording to be slightly inaccurate, but then I'm a stickler for accuracy, especially when it comes to issues between languages, hehe. Capcom 03:54, 3 February 2007 (CST)
