The notes area refers to LV as experience level, and it is, but it neglects to mention that it is also considered LOVE in the game, and never refers to LV as experience, which I find important to the game. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.253.41.55 (talk) 00:04, 9 December 2019 (UTC)

No, we follow standard English capitalization and don't mimic logos and other stylizations - see MOS:TM for more information from the manual of style.--Alexandra^IDV 11:28, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

I personally think that it's stylisation as "UNDERTALE" should be included, but both my edits to the article which added it have been reversed. Mandatorymist77 (talk) 19:41, 14 August 2020 (UTC)

When the stylization is just a standard ALLCAPS, there's nothing special to note about it, and thus we ignore it. Only when it is something non-standard like how F.E.A.R. 3 was promoted as "F.3.A.R." do we take the time to briefly mention it. --Masem (t) 21:18, 14 August 2020 (UTC)

I need to right some wrong info. For instance, undertale is widely known to be developed by toby by himself but that is not true and he did have a small team of other devs such as Temmie... Chang, I believe her last name is. Rinoking358 (talk) 21:04, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

@Rinoking358:  Not done. Temmie Chang's work is already described in the article. Any other contributors to the game's development require discussion by reliable sources to demonstrate notability. – Rhain ☔ 22:17, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

We need to add info on the 5th anniversary of the game this can include the merch, concert and more — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sonic Punch Revival (talk • contribs) 15:05, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

In the 'Plot' section, it says that Chara 'influenced' Frisk, but there is no evidence in the game pointing towards that. In fact, Chara says 'Interesting. You want to go back. You want to go back to the world you destroyed', implying, no, explicitly stating that Frisk/Player did the genocide run. On the topic of the player, it's canon that the player is a character in the game. Sans' 'dirty hacker' ending, Sans continuously breaking the fourth wall, and in Deltarune , Gaster talking to the player. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BigSillyOrangeCat (talk • contribs) 13:46, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

You're right. In fact, I'd say it's the opposite. Frisk influenced Chara, hence the ending. But I'm not going to add that, since other interpretations are possible. pandakekok9 (talk) 04:05, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

In the "plot" section of the game, it claims that the ending you get if you don't kill anyone, befriend everyone, go to the True Lab, etc. the name of the ending is "pacifist". However, most people call it the "true" pacifist ending and the ending you get if you fufill the requirements for a "true" pacifist ending without completing a neutral run a "pacifist" neutral ending. Should this be changed to avoid confusion or...? — Preceding unsigned comment added by RainbowTaIes (talk • contribs) 16:05, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

A recent edit brought to light that this article claims that in order to read the pacifist ending, a player must've completed a neutral playthrough.

"On a second playthrough of the game after completing the "Neutral" ending, if the player kills no monsters"...

This is technically correct, however this does not mean that two separate playthroughs have to be involved, as is currently implied. You can finish the neutral playthrough as your first run and then go straight into the pacifist-exclusive content if you didn't kill any monsters along the way; no replaying is needed. Also this bit has a source at the end of it, but I'm not sure what is even taken from the source. As far as I can tell the source doesn't even mention the pacifist run, neutral runs or even the concept of not killing anyone at all. I say this sentence should be rewritten to something like "If the player reaches the neutral ending without killing any monsters..." and just remove the source altogether.Megaman en m (talk) 09:41, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

At least going through guides, I think we may be mixing up the True Pacifist ending with the normal Pacifist ending; the True Pacifist requires a prior playthrough to complete. And to that level of detail, I am having difficulty in great sources nor it is appropriate to WP per GAMEGUIDE (identifying the general class of Neutral, Pacifist and Genocide runs are sufficient). In any case, I removed the playthrough requirement on that. That source, however, while it did not mention "Pacifist" run directly, clearly alluded to the route, so it is still valid, but I backed up with another source. --Masem (t) 14:08, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

Can someone change the last paragraph in the Plot section to exclude “No Mercy” as an alternative name for the genocide route? It’s a completely different playthrough style Lsbradl (talk) 17:56, 21 August 2021 (UTC)

We run into a problem here: you'd need to point out a reliable source that differentiates the No Mercy run from a Genocide run. I quickly looked through the given citations for that statement and none of them differentiate the two. Do you have such a source?--Megaman en m (talk) 18:40, 21 August 2021 (UTC)

Add "Category:Video games about time loops" line. I mean, Undertale does fall under the definition (Video games in this category involve games where a major plot element, if not the central element to the game, is where a character is stuck in a time loop.). There're several characters that know that they live in a loop (Frisk/Chara, Flowey/Asriel, Sans) and they DO have a hope to break the loop (pacifist ending that's not restarted by the main character). Besides that, the player's actions change the loop, just like in Deathloop or twelve minutes. SpectralniyRus (talk) 10:23, 13 November 2021 (UTC)

Maybe add more details to the Genocide or No Mercy section? Preferably at turning points such as killing Papyrus, Undyne the Undying, or Mettaton NEO? — Preceding unsigned comment added by RoyalGamerX12 (talk • contribs) 00:31, 10 December 2021 (UTC)

There's this sentence in the 2nd paragraph: "Originally, Undertale was meant to be two hours in length and was set to be released in mid-2014. However, development was delayed over the next three years." This is very misleading. A demo was released, and then the scope of the game increased, so there was a kickstarter and then the game was made into what it is today. That doesn't sound at all like being "delayed" to me. Someone should change or remove it — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.80.253.154 (talk) 23:38, 15 March 2022 (UTC)

This sentence was added in 2016. Originally, it read: Undertale was to be two hours and released in summer 2014, but development halted and programming took two-three years, effectively extending the campaign and delaying the release. It's weird that it remained in the article for so long considering that it's unsourced and not mentioned in the body. The sentence should probably be moved to the Development section with added context. Dexxor (talk) 15:59, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

I think that they should add it to the wiki. AUs such as Underfell, Underswap, Horrortale Dreamtale

And so on 165.199.181.11 (talk) 16:15, 5 April 2022 (UTC)

Any reliable sources that establish the notability of any of those AUs? Then no, this isn't appropriate for Wikipedia. --ThomasO1989 (talk) 16:47, 5 April 2022 (UTC)

The article claims Mr. Bean was one of the inspirations, but is there an actual source backing this up? I mean, the way Papyrus gets the players phone number is a very similar concept to those scenes in the Mr. Bean's Holiday movie (calling all the phone numbers until he gets the right one), but that could just be a coincidence. Is it ever officially stated that one of the game's inspirations is Mr. Bean? Randitor (talk) 06:30, 20 May 2022 (UTC)

This page sights both Mr.Bean AND Mario & Luigi as inspirations for Undertale, when neither have ever once been brought up by toby when naming inspiration. Mr.Bean was a bit of a meme back in the day. While I can find some unsourced claims which say that Toby's sense of humor was inspired by Mr.Bean, this seems to be totally fabricated. And while undertale shares elements with the mario and luigi games, toby never once sighted it as an inspiration. 2600:4040:7E99:2000:79D9:39DD:4CF:7CD3 (talk) 05:31, 19 October 2022 (UTC)

The Mario series influence was mentioned by Toby Fox himself in an interview. If Toby Fox isn't a reliable source for Undertale's inspiration, then what is? The Mr. Bean one requires listening to a 45-minute long podcast, which I don't feel like doing right now (or in general), but I'll assume it's in there as well.--Megaman en m (talk) 05:43, 19 October 2022 (UTC)

The plot summary skips over many crucial plot points, particularly in the True Pacifist route. I've attempted to edit together a better version but this has been repeatedly reverted due to exceeding a word limit (it says "generally" in the rules themselves, but I digress), so I'll post about it here. I do not believe a word limit matters if following it results in crucial plot beats going completely unmentioned. Harmonia per misericordia. OmegaFallon (talk) 04:07, 14 October 2022 (UTC)

It is way too long and unnecessarily detailed. Plot sections are generally used for giving a brief overview, and creating a summary with too much detail may make a section uncomfortable for readers to navigate. See WP:VG/PLOT and note that although the details you added are correct, the current plot shows basically the same thing with less words and is easier for readers to navigate ‡ The Night Watch ω (talk) 18:10, 23 October 2022 (UTC)

Unless the plot has been significant dissected in secondary sources, plot sections should stay under 700 words. know sources discuss the various Pacifist and Genocide routes and how they impact the endings, but there's not much more beyond that.e Masem (t) 18:28, 23 October 2022 (UTC)

Not to be that kind of person but 201X was the year the first human fell (proven by genocide route flavor text and the game intro). The war hapened sometime before that. 87.52.109.246 (talk) 18:10, 12 March 2023 (UTC)

What makes it an LGBT-themed game in the wiki categorization? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Virginia Courtsesan (talk • contribs) 00:38, 21 May 2023 (UTC)

Undyne-Alphys is pretty strongly LGBT-theming to me. Not to mention the royal guards you can defeat by encouraging them to ask each other out, Frisk having no official gender and using they/them, etc. Couruu (talk) 09:58, 6 June 2023 (UTC)

Non-defining, unsourced, not mentioned in prose. There's a difference between "happens to have some LGBT characters" and being a game explicitly related to LGBT. -- ferret (talk) 01:11, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

Yeah, I understand it's a gray line - but a game like KOTOR introduced a possible lesbian cross-species love triangle or something at one point...don't think anyone would say it was an LGBT game. I mean Star Trek has black characters but I'd raise an eyebrow at Category:Black television shows existing. People need to chill with the identity politics. Would probably support the deletion of the whole category. Virginia Courtsesan (talk) 03:49, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

There are a lot of scholar studies talking about Undertale's queer themes. I'll try to add it in a new "Themes" section. Skyshifter ^talk 15:55, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

I am thinking of working on this article to make it FA; how does everyone feel about it and is the article too far from it? It apparently is pretty close. Skyshifter ^talk 20:53, 12 November 2023 (UTC)

I noticed there is a LOT of scholar articles that may warrant a "Themes" section in the article. It also seems like reception and cultural impact could be expanded. So not as close as I initially thought. Skyshifter ^talk 15:52, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

On a quick glance, I think that this article is likely very close to being eligible of the FA label. I think Development, Reception, Gameplay, and Plot are near perfect in the detail they give (though I do think that more explanation as to how the Genocide route is different could be given) to be eligible for such a status. Not too sure if a full fledged themes section could be done for a game like this, compared to a game that definitely deserves its themes section like Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. NegativeMP1 06:24, 8 December 2023 (UTC)

Personally, is seems like a themes section would be valid due to the various scholar articles discussing Undertale themes, mostly about ethics. It certainly wouldn't be the same size as the one in the Metal Gear Solid 2 page, though. (To be fair, I don't know how to differentiate a good academic paper from a bad one because so far I've only used news articles. It's possible that these dozens of articles can't even be added for an FA.)

Regarding Reception, I think more reviews could be added, including reception on the console ports. I think the section is not very complete considering the notoriety of Undertale. The last pararaph would probably be better at Characters of Undertale and Deltarune than here, too. Cultural impact could maybe add more information regarding the fandom of Undertale.

Recently, I made an edit to the page changing multiple instances of "LOVE" to "LV" as that is what it is referred to in the game. My edit was reverted by User:Ferret who claimed that using "LOVE" was "better supported by the narrative". I disagree with this but I don't want to edit war. I invite Ferret and anyone else with an opinion on this matter to help resolve this. (I know I said that someone could revert me if I had made an error but I don't see how "LOVE" which is ONLY used by Flowey as far as I know is "better supported by the narrative". Again, if "LOVE" is used somewhere else in the game please let me know, I just need specifics.) TypoEater (talk) 19:12, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

The game's plot starts based around Flowey's deliberate misinformation. Your stated reason for changing this was that we all know he was lying. The new language, tries to trick them by lying, presumes the player's perception rather than relaying the plot detail. It's wordier to convey the same thing, which the resulted in another editor trimming it back down and losing the point, so I reverted it. You're free to change other instances of "LOVE" to "LV", outside of Flowey's specific lie at the beginning. -- ferret (talk) 19:38, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

Oh, OK. Maybe you should have made it more clear which part of my edit you were reverting, and, if possible, manually reverting just the problematic part. TypoEater (talk) 19:43, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

No, I was perfectly clear, you just disagree. I was reverting the core of the edit. At the same time, I don't think the article is harmed by LV being referred to as LOVE either, but I'm neutral on that. However, it's important to note that reliable secondary sources use LOVE, so we should probably stay as is. This is a GA and in good shape already. -- ferret (talk) 19:44, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

Can you explain? Your original reply to my topic starter specifically stated "You're free to change other instances of "LOVE" to "LV", outside of Flowey's specific lie at the beginning." (I already re-did the main part before I saw this so PLEASE don't interpret this as me actually starting an edit war.) TypoEater (talk) 19:49, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

I've reverted again as I didn't expect you to move so fast. First again, reliable secondary sources say LOVE. But even more importantly, Sans, whene explaining EXP and the acronyms, also says LOVE, not LV. This is clear in any video of the scene. -- ferret (talk) 19:50, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

Nevermind, I just saw your re-revert summary where you clarified that Sans uses the term "LOVE". Again, I'm not an expert on the game and I apologize for my mistake. TypoEater (talk) 19:52, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

LV stands for LOVE which in turn stands for Level Of Execution points. LV would make more sense in this context and you could also add somewhere that LV stands for LOVE and Level Of Execution points. EA (talk) 18:02, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

ThomasO1989 the topics of see also sections don't need to match that of the article for which they are being placed. They need to be connected or related. This game demonstrates a relationship with the topic of nonviolence. Helper201 (talk) 17:43, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

I've got to heavily disagree with the FAQ and present my case as to why. I'm assuming spoilers like that are permitted in the lead, but obviously it should be sidestepped. People looking up Undertale on Google, not even clicking on the article, are going to be immediately spoiled. I understand this might not be a great point, which leads me into my main argument: Frisk's name should not be included in the lead because it does not accurately reflect the experience most players will have with the game.

The game intentionally misleads you into believing that you and Frisk share the same name: 201X and a similar looking child in the intro sequence, the vague "name the fallen human" phrasing, and the name you inputed being featured in the battle screen and menu. If a player is going in blind, they will most likely assume that the name they inputted is Frisk's name, and they will likely believe this for an overwhelming majority of the game. This is an intentional design choice. Mentioning Frisk's name in the lead is unfaithful to the premise of the game. Being ambiguous about Frisk's name by referring to them as a "child" is more faithful as it reflects the intentional ambiguity presented by the game. Including Frisk's name in the lead only serves to misrepresent the game's premise; just because it's more specific doesn't make it more informative. LBWP (talk) 06:59, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

Not everyone knows what an RPG is unless they're experienced with video game terms. This article is for a general reader. Also, "RPG video game" would be poor spelling, while "Roleplaying video game" is correct. λ NegativeMP1 02:40, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

This article states that Frisk passes through the barrier in the neutral ending. However, this is false. Too get past the barrier, you must have one human soul and one boss monster soul. Frisk does not exit the underground, they die there, which is why Frisk doesn't answer the call. We know this because Frisk does not absorb any boss monster souls throughout their visit in the underground. We know that Flowey destroyed Asgore's SOUL, so Frisk couldn't of absorbed it. The only other monster we fought that has a boss monster soul is Toriel, and it either gets destroyed or Toriel gets spared. A common argument is that in Betrayed Undyne ending, Papyrus mentions that Undyne "HAS A LUDICROUS PLAN... TO CROSS THE BARRIER AND BEAT YOU UP." However, they think you absorbed Asgore's soul. They don't think a flower destroyed the soul. 76.137.135.87 (talk) 21:32, 20 January 2025 (UTC)

This is completely your own observation of the game, and fan theories are not appropriate for Wikipedia. λ NegativeMP1 02:08, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

This is not a fan theory, it is just a fact. There is no part of the game showing that Frisk absorbed a soul, and you can't pass the barrier unless you have a human and monster soul. 2601:206:8382:3000:454C:AC49:BF1A:BCBE (talk) 23:03, 29 January 2025 (UTC)

"Frisk does not exit the underground, they die there, which is why Frisk doesn't answer the call." This is not stated anywhere in the game; it is a fan theory. ThomasO1989 (talk) 23:11, 29 January 2025 (UTC)

On Episode 8 of Season 7 of the TV Series "The Rookie", the character John Nolan (played by actor Nathan Filion) makes a reference to Undertale. In a scene where he is talking to a young kid playing a videogame, he says at 21:41: "Ah, Undertale. That is a great game. It took me forever to beat Sans."

This is also mentioned on February 27 2025 in a Reddit thread, with screen capture here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Undertale/comments/1iza5tp/no_freaking_way Carlosmirandalevy (talk) 15:51, 27 February 2025 (UTC)

How is this relevant to the article about Undertale itself? λ NegativeMP1 16:40, 27 February 2025 (UTC)

We would need a reliable independent source (not the show itself) to consider inclusion. We are not TVTropes. — Masem (t) 16:47, 27 February 2025 (UTC)

I don't think this would be relevant to include in the article even if it was covered by reliable sources. This is basically trivia. And where in the article would it go? λ NegativeMP1 16:54, 27 February 2025 (UTC)

legacy or in popular culture, presumably 2607:F2C0:E98C:1B80:88DD:A7BF:F62F:EB63 (talk) 14:36, 8 May 2025 (UTC)

In the part "The player controls a child who has fallen into the Underground" could you put "fallen down into" instead of "fallen into". I think that would be a cool little referance to the in game soundtrack and lines. Thank you CulminationPoint (talk) 23:54, 10 May 2025 (UTC)

No. Not making a sentence less concise for the sake of an Easter egg that no one except diehard fans would notice. --ThomasO1989 (talk) 00:44, 11 May 2025 (UTC)
