 * GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

It's almost there, but it's not quite there yet. It's a death by a thousand cuts kind of situation. It's a decent article, but a lot of little things weigh it down. The Plot section could also use some work to provide better context for who random characters are (ie. Kokichi is only mentioned once with no explanation as to who they are). Trying not to nitpick, but if I didn't know the game's plot from watching YouTube reviews, I would have no idea what the article was talking about half the time. Finally, the WP:italics in the article needs to a look-through; it's all inconsistent. Also, what's with this footnote? I tried adding more creation about the game involving the handling of the two protagonists and an image if it helps to illustrate such twist. Siliconera has commentary about Kodaka discussing the "reality tv twist" if it helps. Feel free to revise anything.Tintor2 (talk) 23:09, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) It is reasonably well written.
 * a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
 * The "Development" can use some work. There are a few statements which should be written to sound more natural and neutral. Things can be attributed and stuff, you know?
 * I've done a bit of work on this, hopefully that covers it . Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 12:57, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) It is factually accurate and verifiable.
 * a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR):  d (copyvio and plagiarism):
 * I'm pretty strict about how citation templates get filled out. I like to see references filled out completely, consistently, and clearly. While the references to Gematsu are pretty major offenders in this regard (with some using publisher when they mean to use work or leaving - Gematsu in title), they aren't the only ones with issues.
 * I have done these (for Gematsu at least). Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 13:15, 19 October 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) It is broad in its coverage.
 * a (major aspects): b (focused):
 * 1) It follows the neutral point of view policy.
 * Fair representation without bias:
 * 1) It is stable.
 * No edit wars, etc.:
 * The article could use a silver lock because of the persistent vandalism, but that's not a stability concern.
 * 1) It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
 * a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
 * File:DebateScrumdialogue.png needs a better fair use rationale. I'd like to see one or two images to break up the "Plot", "Development", and "Promotion and release" sections. I know there is not a lot of things you can put there free media-wise, but I will note that you do have some options (a picture of the game console, some of the game's voice actors, etc).
 * Hmm, I'm not sure either of those are helpful. It appeared on a plethora of games consoles, and whilst we have free images of Erika Harlacher, who was the game's false protagonist, we don't have one for Sayaka Kanda, who did the original game audio, which would be my preference.

I suppose the same issues I have now are the same issues I had earlier. The italics are still inconsistent to a fault. Things like Magazines and video games (even in prose) should always be italicised. However, mini-games and game modes should not be italicized per MOS:NOITALIC Hangman's Gambit 3.0 vs Death Road of Despair. Once that is all fixed, I'll take another look to see if I missed anything more significant. &#8211; MJL &thinsp;‐Talk‐☖ 02:46, 29 October 2021 (UTC)


 * Also, btw, Medium is the self-published online platform, Paul Lambardo was writing for SuperJump magazine. &#8211; MJL &thinsp;‐Talk‐☖ 02:50, 29 October 2021 (UTC)
 * I think I picked up all of the italics in the article. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 15:00, 29 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Alright, everything looks good now. I'm calling this a pass. &#8211; MJL &thinsp;‐Talk‐☖ 17:55, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
