I'll take a look at this, and will be back with comments within a day or so.--AlexandraIDV 07:36, 30 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Lead and infobox
 * Should probably use the notable_works, known_for and employer parameters in the infobox, and fill out Ogre Battle and FF Tactics, Tactical role-playing game, and Quest/Square/Level-5/Algebra Factory
 * first introduced to video game either you're missing a word or two, or "game" should be plural
 * Italicize game titles
 * Should mention what kind of companies Quest and Square are, and when he joined them
 * The console is just called the Wii
 * Consider adding years in parentheses after game titles to give an idea of the time frame
 * You don't need quotation marks around his company's name. Something like In 2016 he founded his own company, Algebra Factory works
 * Consider writing out the acronym MMORPG in full the first time it is used, like massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG), as we write for a general audience and not just video game enthusiasts
 * Should probably use a possessive apostrophe-S after Final Fantasy XIV for clarity. Also link expansion to Expansion pack.
 * "Return to Ivalice" is a part of a work, similarly to a chapter in a book or a song on an album, so should not be italicized, but surrounded by quotation marks. Same goes for when it is mentioned later in the article body.
 * Link raid to Raid (video games)
 * It was well received and created a new scenario entitled Save the Queen: Blades of Gunnhildr for the next Final Fantasy XIV expansion Shadowbringers. - "Save the Queen" should be formatted the same way as "Return to Ivalice"; there should probably be a comma after "the next Final Fantasy XIV expansion"; and most importantly, what does "and created a new scenario"? How does an MMO raid create anything?


 * Early life
 * I believe the phrasing "the Nintendo Entertainment System" is more common than without "the".
 * The last two sentences are not backed up by any reference.


 * Quest
 * Even the "Rhyan Sea" in the Ogre Battle world is named after "Seven Seas of Rhye". - what is the Rhyan Sea? If it's just the name of a sea, I would suggest removing the quotation marks and adding in something like ", a location in the...."
 * Is there any reason for the inconsistency between referring to the system as the Super NES and the Super Famicom?
 * Link grand strategy to grand strategy wargame


 * Square and Square Enix
 * Smaller in scope than Final Fantasy Tactics, it was still highly regarded implies that small scope and being held in high regard are in some kind of opposition, which isn't true - I would remove "still".
 * You should briefly explain what the PlayOnline project is.
 * There is a freely usable picture of Sakaguchi in our article about him - would work well here


 * Freelance period and Level-5
 * Several people linked to here have available images, too. I understand if not all can be used since they're all mentioned in quick succession, but one or two might work. Hino seems like a particularly important figure in this section, since he got Matsuno to join Level-5, so I'm thinking having a picture of him might be the best choice.


 * Game design
 * We have an article about the original Star Wars trilogy specifically, so I would suggest linking to Star Wars Trilogy rather than the Star Wars franchise in general


 * Works
 * Like before, single scenarios or raids should not be italicized, and should be written within quotation marks


 * References
 * All are secondary RSs, or primary sources used for uncontroversial facts, so no problems here

All right, I think that's all - sorry for taking a little longer than expected. I will put this review on hold for seven days - ping me if you have any questions or when you have addressed the points I brought up, and I will respond asap.--AlexandraIDV 13:04, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
