Compilation of Final Fantasy VII

 * Contributor(s): PresN, ProtoDrake, Judgesurreal777, WhiteArcticWolf, Lucia Black. Codename Lisa

This potential Good Topic for Compilation of Final Fantasy VII has come together over a large span of time: it includes articles for the three games and two multimedia projects officially included in the Compilation. The earliest GAs are Crisis Core (Judgesurreal777) and Last Order (WhiteArcticWolf): Dirge of Cerberus is a more recent edition, while Advent Children needing to be renominated quite recently after the original GA promotion was reexamined and removed. Before Crisis and the main Compilation article were done by me within the last year or two. The Compilation stands as its own entity and a Topic for Final Fantasy VII is delayed until work on the articles for its Characters and the in-production Remake, so grouping it into a general Topic for VII and the Compilation would be impractical. Many thanks to everyone who contributed to the creation of this Topic, and to those who review this nomination and decide its fate. --ProtoDrake (talk) 13:23, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Support - It's great to see a topic like this finally emerge, it's a nice clean topic that is fully covered by this nomination. Great work everyone! Judgesurreal777 (talk) 14:25, 20 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Why not have a complete FF7 topic with the main game and music also included? Nergaal (talk) 19:52, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Because the "Characters" article is yet to become a GA, and the Remake article is for a game that will not be fully released and able to be brought to GA for some time. --ProtoDrake (talk) 07:56, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Support. I think the underlying caveat here is whether "compilation of FF7" needs its own article. Most of its content is coming from its component articles or from the series article, and a quick skim showed only three titles that even mention the compilation as a concept. On balance, I think the concept stands better and is more useful for our readers separately than reduced and merged. So while I agree that the FF7 topic would be preferable (and will eventually subsume this topic), the Compilation of FF7 sufficiently stands on its own and, from my understanding of the topic, looks complete. (Note that you can still nominate for GT while a game has not been released—the article just needs to be peer reviewed—see my Action Button Entertainment topic re: Videoball).

 * If the compilation article didn't exist, the main FF7 article would be fine as the lead of this topic while keeping its current name. Nergaal (talk) 04:41, 27 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Support. I agree that a full FF7 topic would be better, but this works just fine on its own.--IDVtalk 16:09, 25 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Support, as one of the original reviewers. Final Fantasy articles never fail to impress me, and this is no exception. Looking forward to seeing the FF7 topic. – Rhain  ☔ 00:11, 1 May 2016 (UTC)
