GA Review

Article (edit | visual edit | history) · Article talk (edit | history) · Watch

Hi! I just finished reading this article and think that it is good overall, except for the plot section. While reading it I, personally, became very confused as to what was being discussed for a number of reasons. Firstly, there are a lot of proper nouns, which can be harder to digest than standard nouns, so if you can replace some of them it would probably make reading easier. Secondly, it seems to be in a "this happens... then this happens... then this happens" format which can be kind of... well, bland. If it could be rewritten so that it reads more like a storyline rather than a list that's just in paragraph form, that would probably be a good idea.

Otherwise, I think that this is ready to be a GA. Great work! I'm putting it on hold for now for further improvements. (Also, sorry if my concerns seem kind of confusing; it can be difficult to explain problems like this, and I don't know enough about the game to fix it myself... just let me know if you need clarification) –Drilnoth (T • C) 16:03, 7 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

2nd opinion

I was wondering if another reviewer could take a look at the plot section... I'm really not all that familiar with what they should be like for a video game article, so I'd appreciate it if someone with a little more experience could take a look. Thanks! –Drilnoth (T • C) 22:03, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've taken a good hard look at the article, especially the Plot section. Despite being an avid gamer, I've never played Final Fantasy. I feel that the Plot section adequately explains the story of the game, even from the perspective of someone unfamiliar with the game. It is in accordance with WP:VG's article guidelines, although in my opinion the section does admittedly need to remove some of its more trivial details before it could be considered for A-class or FAC. I feel that the article in its current form is GA material. — Levi van Tine (t – c) 07:58, 19 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the extra look; I think that I may have been getting a little tired when I read that section so all the names got confusing. I'm going to pass this nomination as a success. Good work, everyone, and sorry about the delay! –Drilnoth (T • C) 13:11, 19 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah — plot sections tend to feel terse, especially because we are trying to summarize as succinctly as possible. — Deckill er 06:29, 2 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
