Ivalice
Well, looks like a decent template to be getting on with. The Overview section is probably superfluous (the lead-in paragraphs serve its purpose well enough), and the Design heading should focus mostly on out of universe stuff like Matsuno's role, inspirations, and, perhaps, the evolution of Ivalice throughout the games. Again, I'm looking at the Spira article, here. --Made2Fade 11:53, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Ah, nice additions. And referenced, too! It's coming along well. I have more additional info, unfortunately, I've exams to face, probably taking a wikibreak, so I'll pop up on rare occasions. Bluerです. なにか? 01:32, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
 * No problem, I'll do what I can in the meantime. Could I trouble you to source the rebe and helgas, if you have a reference for them? I know of no mention of them in the game, and your edit seems to indicate you have an official source. --Made2Fade 00:05, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Ha, it's done. I'll be back to really do the edits much much later. Bluerです. なにか? 07:49, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Vagrant Story
The following suggestions were generated by a semi-automatic javascript program. You may wish to browse through User:AndyZ/Suggestions for further ideas. Thanks, APR t 23:57, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Please expand the lead to conform with guidelines at Lead. The article should have an appropriate number of paragraphs as is shown on WP:LEAD, and should adequately summarize the article.[?]
 * Per Wikipedia:Context and Build the web, years with full dates should be linked; for example, link January 15, 2006.[?]
 * There are a few occurrences of weasel words in this article- please observe WP:AWT. Certain phrases should specify exactly who supports, considers, believes, etc., such a view.
 * apparently
 * might be weasel words, and should be provided with proper citations (if they already do, or are not weasel terms, please strike this comment).[?]
 * Please make the spelling of English words consistent with either American or British spelling, depending upon the subject of the article. Examples include: honor (A) (British: honour), armor (A) (British: armour), ization (A) (British: isation), modelling (B) (American: modeling), programme (B) (American: program ), skeptic (A) (British: sceptic).
 * Watch for redundancies that make the article too wordy instead of being crisp and concise. (You may wish to try Tony1's redundancy exercises.)
 * While additive terms like “also”, “in addition”, “additionally”, “moreover”, and “furthermore” may sometimes be useful, overusing them when they aren't necessary can instead detract from the brilliancy of the article. This article has 17 additive terms, a bit too much.
 * Vague terms of size often are unnecessary and redundant - “some”, “a variety/number/majority of”, “several”, “a few”, “many”, “any”, and “all”. For example, “ All pigs are pink, so we thought of a number of ways to turn them green.”
 * Avoid using contractions like (outside of quotations): can't.
 * As done in WP:FOOTNOTE, footnotes usually are located right after a punctuation mark (as recommended by the CMS, but not mandatory), such that there is no space in between. For example, the sun is larger than the moon [2]. is usually written as the sun is larger than the moon.[2][?]
 * Please ensure that the article has gone through a thorough copyediting so that it exemplifies some of Wikipedia's best work. See also User:Tony1/How to satisfy Criterion 1a.[?]

WP:FF Remake
Should we keep the "hall of fame section"? I'm putting it in, but I'm on the fence. --PresN 14:13, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
