Claiming this one. I'll start looking at it right away. Tezero (talk) 00:34, 12 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The series title translates as "The New Tale of the Crystal" - In... Latin? If so, which variety, if applicable?
A screenshot'd be helpful to show the overall style of the sub-series, perhaps the overall gameplay style coupled with some recurring element.
"A spinoff from the" - It's more than one game. I'd rephrase this.
"that it could extend over a decade" - From 2007 or from when the sub-series started?
"The game received an award nomination" - What'd it lose to? I know little about the main-series Final Fantasys post-PS1.
The word "sell" and its derivatives are used an awful lot in the last paragraph of Reception. You can elect how, but I'd prefer some rewording for flow.
There's an awful lot of Andriasang and Siliconera, which as I recall are only situationally acceptable as RSes. I'll trust you here, but be wary of how they're being used if you decide to FAC this.

Putting this on hold; I don't expect my complaints to take long to fix. Tezero (talk) 00:51, 12 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Just going to say that a screenshot of the common elements is very difficult to do. The problem is, each game was made by different directors, and none of them consulted each other when creating it. So whatever similar elements each has is purely coincidental. the only thing that they do have in common intentionally is the mythology that they share and even then each one interpreted it differently. As of now, the only thing they have in common in gameplay is that they are more action oriented games, but its not universally common with each game.

I've fixed most of the issues I think (and the blurb doesn't say what variety of Latin is used). I agree with Lucia Black about the screenshot, and as to Siliconera and Andriasang, the reason they are being used is because the info in them wasn't really anywhere else in that much detail and in English. --ProtoDrake (talk) 16:01, 12 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, it looks pretty solid. I'll pass this. Tezero (talk) 16:26, 12 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
