I have chosen to evaluate this article because it is one of my favorite video games of all time, it got me into this style of video games (turn based RPGs).

Evaluate the article
Everything in this article is on topic, but I felt like there were some details mentioned about the game's story that did not need to be mentioned. It felt like some facts were added just to increase word limit, which distracted me a bit. Nothing was out of date, and I don't think anything could be added that is not here already. If I had to improve the content of this article, I would change the wordings under the header about the game's Plot and setting and I would re-phrase the initial description at the top of the page.

The tone of this article is very neutral, there is nothing in this article that I would see as clearly biased. In fact, I was surprised to see how neutral it was, especially in the reception section, where there were criticisms and praise for the game equally.

Most of the citations work, while some of them do not have proper links. However, for the citations that do work, most support the claims in the article. Some links are very outdated, where you cannot see some of the claims in the links. But for a good number of them, they work properly. In the article itself, every fact is referenced with a reliable reference. Some sources are from well regarded gaming journalism websites, while some links are from fan pages that do not have verifiable information. However, they all are neutral, unless it is a positive review, in which case the bias is noted. The sources do come from a very wide array of publications, in fact, more than I would expect. There are images of magazines, websites from 2001, and modern reviews as well.

The talk page is not very active, but all discussions are very formal and serious, which I did not expect. The article has a rating of GA.
