User blog comment:Tenbeat/Sly Cooper's Father's Name Is.../@comment-1824272-20160207040241

We've just had something similar happen on the Ace Combat wiki. There's one character "death" that was disputed among some fans as not being full confirmation of his death. Recently, a contributor (my girlfriend, actually) purchased the ACZ Perfect Guide Book, and it confirms that the character was dead. A ten-year-long debate laid to rest.

It's funny how long these things have been around and in what places the information is hiding in. As for the case of the guide taking something from the wiki, something similar happened with Ace Combat as well. There's a 3DS remake of a PSone game, and in it they gave a name to the at-that-point-unnamed conflict. They called it the "Usean Continental War" (and the guy said "as some people call it"). However, that exact name was never used in any official material; it was only on the Ace Combat wiki that we used that name. And the best part is, the name was used for a completely different conflict. It's like if someone made a new Sly Cooper game and used a different name for Sly's father than Conner.

ANYWAY, sorry, I may have gushed about Ace Combat quite a bit. :P This is quite the discovery, honestly. It gives us final evidence that Sly's father is named Conner, and we can roll with that from now on. I just hope the movie or any future games won't mess with it and give him a brand-new name, because at that point it'll get really confusing. But I'm glad to have confirmation on Conner Cooper :3
