Radical Dreamers: Nusumenai Hōseki

 * Previous FAC (04:36, 22 January 2008)

To my surprise, Home of the Underdogs is a notable website, and did have a review for this game. It is still the only media mention of Radical Dreamers outside of the sources present found. Since the last FAC, the issue of expanding notes on the various extra scenarios has been addressed, and the music section has been expanded. Also, a couple gameplay notes have been added. The article should now be exhaustively comprehensive. Zeality (talk) 07:23, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - couple of minor issues: Support, great work! --Laser brain (talk) 14:06, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
 * "Lynx and Kid duel, and she removes the Chrono Trigger from her back pocket and activates it." Who removes it, Lynx or Kid?
 * After the last sentence of the Music heading, the footnote is in italics - it should not be.
 * The image in the infobox has some minor issues. The fair use rationale mentions "Square Enix" but the article cites Squaresoft.  On further reading, it's not clear who actually released the game.  Additionally, the fair use rationale is for the article Chrono Trigger and not for this one.  Recommend using the Non-free use rationale template so you get the required elements.
 * The other image in the article also listed the incorrect article title in its rationale. --Laser brain (talk) 15:07, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
 * All corrected. Thanks. Zeality (talk) 02:29, 29 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Comments. Support Looks great.
 * "The player must choose from a list of possible actions." - this sounds instructive, how about re-wording it, like the narrative progresses along alternate storylines as the player chooses...
 * "Graphics and animation are minimalistic..." - Curious about the use of "minimalistic". To me, minimalism is an intentional artistic choice, but in the game it looks like its minimalist features are an unintended consequence of resource (time/money) contraints. If you want to keep the term, can you be more descriptive in describing its minimalism (why and how). Or, for example, if I'm correct, write that due to the constraints the developer chose a minimalist style for the graphics and animation. Or, alternatively, ...the developer used minimal graphics and animation.
 * "...sequel to the world of Chrono Trigger." - would Chrono (series) be a more appropriate link?
 * "...development team, which is currently working on Final Fantasy XI." - according to the FFXI article it was released in 2004. --maclean 20:09, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Fixed. For the minimal statement, I rephrased it, "Radical Dreamers features minimal graphics and animation; most areas are rendered with dim, static backgrounds." I took out "the world of" since Cross is a sequel to Trigger, and I clarified that the Cross team are continually updating FFXI (an MMORPG). Thanks for the suggestions.

 * Comment Logical quotation should be used, as per Manual of Style. Epbr123 (talk) 23:20, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I think I nailed down all the errors. Zeality (talk) 01:16, 4 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Support - Looks better than I thought it could be made to be, great job, nice to see another Chrono series FA. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 16:57, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Zeality (talk) 20:07, 5 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Please doublecheck the bad links at Check external links. Sandy Georgia (Talk) 18:08, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Seems Cubed3 changed something. It's fixed. The Cocoebiz one goes down from time to time, but is generally reliable. I got a false positive on it a few days ago, but it's up now. Zeality (talk) 20:07, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks, struck. Sandy Georgia  (Talk) 21:18, 5 February 2008 (UTC)


 * There is a strange mixture of WP:HYPHENs (in the first sentence), spaced and unspaced emdashes (in the last section) that should be rationalized to WP:DASH. Sandy Georgia (Talk) 21:23, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
 * The "Title -Subtitle-" thing is a Japanese subtitle quirk. The article was named like that, but since it's not accepted usage in English, an editor had it and articles like it changed to the current "Title: Subtitle" system. Crisis Core is another example. For the other dashes, do you mean the list with the extra scenarios? The rest of the prose seems to use word1—word2. Zeality (talk) 04:55, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, Zeality, I misspoke. It's not the last section, it's "Characters and story".  I'm not sure about the emdashes used in what seems to be a list; can you doublecheck those with WP:DASH?  There are unspaced emdashes in the text, and spaced emdashes in that list.  Also, check date formatting on citations (Yasunori Mitsuda (2000-18-12). Chrono Cross OST Liner Notes. Chrono Compendium. Retrieved on July 24, 2006.) Sandy Georgia  (Talk) 15:20, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I replaced the emdashes between the titles and the descriptions with spaced endashes. For the title themselves, I replaced the emdash in the Gil scenario with a colon after rediscovering that the game presents it that way. Zeality (talk) 23:38, 6 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Support - An excellent article, and I have no quarrel with the prose. --PresN (talk) 06:32, 9 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Support - Looks good. Well done, indeed. ЭLСОВВОLД  talk 14:06, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
