Talk:Anastasia Nikolaevna of Russia
Date of Death[edit source]
This is an ongoing discussion.Should we add the real life date of death of Ana Anderson as Anastasia's? The Wikia Editor (talk) 11:38, February 12, 2016 (UTC)
Yes, we should. That's what I've been thinking since I found out that in this game Anastasia became Anna. GamerSophie (talk) 16:16, February 12, 2016 (UTC)
No, because it's speculative. They're already taking liberties with actual history, and I feel that this is a case similar to Anne Bonny where she has a completely different death date. -- Master Sima Yi Talk 16:23, February 12, 2016 (UTC)
Also, the historical Anna Anderson actually claimed to be Anastasia Nikolaevna, which doesn't fit into the whole idea that Anastasia wanted to erase her identity.--Bovkaffe (talk) 21:56, February 12, 2016 (UTC)
- There is actually some debate as to whether Anderson was a deliberate impostor, delusional, or traumatized to the point that she was willing to take on a new identity, and I think we can agree Anastasia wasn't in the most stable mindset when we last saw her. As for the Anne Bonny example, we have an actual source showing us a different date of death. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the only exceptions to the birth/death dates are the ones that are explicitly shown to be different, such as Garnier de Naplouse or William of Montferrat.

- I think it's an interesting idea. Plus if Anastasia actually being Anna Anderson in the AC Universe means that IRL Anna Anderson didn't exist, then I guess I'm for having her death date as IRL Anna's. VilkaIsBack (talk) 08:25, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

Expanded[edit source]
I did not even notice this talk page was up until after i reverted the edit where the trivia bit that was removed was reinstated, oops. I reverted it as the trivia bit concerns the real life individual anna anderson who had claimed she was the Anastasia Nikolaevna, thereby i think it is perfectly legitimate for it to be included with the article. That is only my two cents of course.

- That's why I included it in the Trivia section. Many historical facts/discrepancies in the AC series are included in trivia sections. I don't know why that Anon removed it, but thanks for reverting it! -- Zero-ELEC (talk) 02:56, February 15, 2016 (UTC)
Inaccuracies[edit source]
Just like to point out that Anastasia never wore a ponytail. She and her sisters all had hairstyles resembling a chignon (their hairstyles were loose prior to turning 16). This is a common mistake but come on, ubi couldn't even get this minor detail right? Did they seriously use that dreadful Anastasia animated film as reference?

Also find it awkward and cold of Nikolai to just leave her after what she'd been through, instead of accompanying her to reunite with her relatives. Imagine the reward they would've given Nikolai had he done so. Olga Alexandrovna, her aunt, and Louis Mountbatten, her cousin, were very close to Anastasia. Not to mention her French & English tutors, Pierre Gilliard and Sydney Gibbs. Sorry, just disappointed with this game. If ubi wanted my money they should've done better. 42.61.223.19 04:09, February 22, 2016 (UTC)
