OFLC Rating
It's rated M by the OFLC. I don't know how to add this in, so if someone could that'd be nice. 203.59.26.59 (talk) 16:18, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

Japanese Voice
Not sure if it's worth mentioning. Though others might want to know that the game has japanese voice as an option. 68.231.215.218 (talk) 04:08, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

TBA
I see that the game has a "TBA" listed release under the U.S., but I'm curious, does that mean it is even announced for the states? I can't seem to find anything confirming (or denying) that anywhere. Lilinka (talk) 00:04, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Spoiler Tagging
I've been away from Wikipedia for a long time. Do spoilers get tagged/hidden individually, or do they still just get a big heading that says, "Spoilers after this point"?

Either way, can someone familiar with the game's spoilers tag the page appropriately? I've accidentally seen some things I didn't mean to read, and I'm only on Chapter 11. ^^;; --Godfoster (talk) 02:21, 17 November 2008 (UTC)


 * I second that. I accidentally read a big spoiler in the Character section for Isara. I don't know if the rest of the characters contain spoilers too, as I don't want to read them :) -- FredStrauss (talk) 07:47, 1 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Seems that spoiler warnings aren't really done anymore. Spoiler -- FredStrauss (talk) 08:49, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

European vs. Europan
The article specifies that the game takes place in the land of Europa, but throughout the article uses the term European (First European War) could someone please clarify as to what the proper word is? If the game takes place in a fictional land of Europa, why is the designation European being used? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.243.125.61 (talk) 18:37, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Checking back to the official English website of the game, "Europa" and "Europan" are the terms used. Instances where "European" is used are likely my early information gathered from the Japanese home site (ヨーロッパ : "yo-roppa" : Europe.) To keep things consistent, I'll make the necessary changes.

Assessment as of 2008-12-14
There's a lack of information for the article, namely reception and development really need to be fleshed out. The character information is also insanely lengthy to the rest of the article. At this time, it has to remain Start class. In addition the importance is re-rated Low: High is reserved for heavily influential games, like Mario Bros. or Doom, not titles like this.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 14:18, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Agreed. . G.A.S talk 15:01, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

Additional Awards
I saw an award section so I thought this could be of some use:

IGN PS3 Strategy Game of 2008 (http://bestof.ign.com/2008/ps3/10.html)

GameSpy PS3 Strategy Game of the Year (http://goty.gamespy.com/2008/ps3/12.html)

GameSpy Best Original Soundtrack (http://goty.gamespy.com/2008/special/25.html)

(Perhaps less useful but) Ranked #6 on GameSpy's PS3 list of best games of 2008 (http://goty.gamespy.com/2008/ps3/12.html) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.234.175.73 (talk) 02:09, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

Central Character
I noticed someone changed the page and said Alicia was the "central character", then put some reasons as to why she is. Should this be edited? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.15.46.171 (talk) 01:54, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

I think I'll change it back. Despite the editor's claims, the player takes tactical command as Welkin, not Alicia, and should probably get top billing. Enyce02941 (talk) 23:08, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Assessment as of 2008-04-22
The article remains Start-class, but it's on it's way to C. It needs better organization and more paragraphs in place of lists, as well as some cited development info. It's priority though wouldn't change much at all however regardless.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 00:57, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

List of characters
Hi,

I stumbled onto the list just now... the specific list of characters for this game, and the "single-ton game with a separate list of characters" lists don't usually survive at AFD. I don't want to nom it, so I wanted to start discussion here about remerging here for some of the characters. --Izno (talk) 03:33, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

I'm a big fan of the game, but I agree that a separate article listing the characters is unnecessary. Instead, it would be better to mention the key characters here, and perhaps the cameos of the Skies of Arcadia characters Vyse and Aika. There is a ridiculous number of characters in this game, and while the game goes into some detail to make them all unique, it's not enough to justify an entry into Wikipedia. -- Donutta —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.237.251.53 (talk) 07:35, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

GA Push
Hi, everyone. I am considering a push for a Good Article so we can bring this up to FA status. There are some things we still need to consider:
 * Lead section &mdash; it may need to be expanded into three paragraphs.
 * Gameplay section &mdash; this section looks perfect
 * Plot section &mdash; thanks to everyone for the excellent consolidation here.
 * Development section &mdash; it's already quite good, and seems to cover the appropriate topics in an appropriate length.
 * Release section &mdash; excellent work, describes all of its releases perfrectly.
 * Reception section &mdash; so far, it looks perfect.
 * Adaptations section &mdash; so far, it also looks excellent.

I think that when the lead issue is finished, a nomination for GAN would suffice. Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 01:38, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

I am also putting this up for peer review for feedback on how to improve it, along with the characters list as well. Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 02:17, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

I have now expanded the lead section to includes the reception for the game. This should take care of the issue. Also, the awards subsection in the Reception section has been converted to prose format. Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 14:41, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for putting the article up for peer review, SJones. Of the article, the most bare-bones section was the Adaptations section, but now with some simplified information from what was listed on the Episode List page, I think it's looking much better. I hope we can get the article up to GA status. Enyce02941 (talk) 17:40, 20 September 2010 (UTC)


 * No problem at all. At least this article is looking better than ever. Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 19:26, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

Character Page
Did some partial work on it, considering I'm using the Design Archive to fill some gaps with some of the characters. Anyone who's got one, feel free to assist. Not sure if I'll be able to continue considering I'm back in university again. Ominae (talk) 04:48, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

OVAs'
Im with the Battletech wiki but am a fan of many Manga and Anime and while watching the series I stumbled across two OVA episodes. These Two episodes revovle around a group called the 422nd "The Nameless" as they are referred by Gallian troops. I havent done no work on wiki in a long time so do not feel capable of doint it myself without messing up this wonderful wiki page. I will attempt the best i can as anime wiki are very differant form battletechs. I ask can someone form the Sega Project wiki and/or the anime projectwiki help after i get the initial ground work since I kno i will do a horrible job. Also as i post this the title repersenting the OVAs' I am not sure of as they are titled Senjou no Valkyria 3 OVA 1 / 2. Please contact if me if i need to give a direct link to the website I found and if better information is need for the episodes.Popa01 (talk) 06:05, 12 November 2013 (UTC)
