List of Final Fantasy media

 * Nominator(s): Axem Titanium (talk) 09:35, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because after nearly 3 years, I believe this list is back up to standards. There is an archived peer review here for reference. Any comments and criticism are welcome. Axem Titanium (talk) 09:35, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - There's no dabs in the article but has two dead links. GamerPro64 (talk) 15:55, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I fixed one dead link and the other seems to be a temporary thing where the site in question has problems accessing news articles. We'll see if it persists. Axem Titanium (talk) 11:41, 6 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Support – I'm going to go ahead and add my support now. Nice work on addressing my concerns, and I'm confident that you'll be able to address Jonathan's as well. Nomader (Talk) 05:35, 13 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Support – I'm now supporting the nomination. Nice work! Jonathan Hardin&#39; (talk) 13:08, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks a lot, to both of you for your helpful comments. Axem Titanium (talk) 13:25, 20 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Review
 * "Its first game premiered in Japan in 1987, and Final Fantasy games have subsequently been localized for markets in North America, Europe and Australia, on nearly every video game console since the Nintendo Entertainment System, including MSX2, Super Nintendo, PlayStation, WonderSwan (Color), PlayStation 2, IBM PC, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo GameCube, Nintendo DS, Xbox 360, Wii, Nintendo DS, PlayStation Portable, and PlayStation 3 game systems, as well as several models of mobile phones." -- 1) No need to link the continents 2)I feel that you should probably cut this list down by saying something along the lines of "since the NES, including other first, second, third, and fourth generation consoles"
 * Done. Axem Titanium (talk) 10:53, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Ref #112, is a dead link.
 * Fixed. Axem Titanium (talk) 10:53, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
 * "...and games for mobile phones." - you already stated that earlier
 * Done. Axem Titanium (talk) 10:53, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I know the series is basically about video games but this is a list of the entire media, why focus solely the lead on the games? I feel you should expand upon the other media instead of just giving them one sentence in the lead. That is not summarizing.
 * I rewrote the lead to address this. Axem Titanium (talk) 10:53, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
 * In the games list, what verifies some of the console releases? I see some that say "released on Playstation" with no references.
 * Those are the original console releases. I figured they would be implicit because for most video game articles I see, you don't need a ref for the original console. I can add one if you insist. Axem Titanium (talk) 10:53, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Just listing the film/television doesn't tell the reader much, their should be some introduction to that table. As well as to the radio drama and novels. Simply because they dont have main articles doesn't mean they can't have some sort of introduction.
 * I added short introductory paragraphs. Axem Titanium (talk) 10:45, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
 * References
 * What makes RPGamer, RPGFan, TV.com, MusicBrainz, Fleuve Noir, and finalfantasy-xiii.net. all reliable sources of information?
 * RPGamer is reliable per WP:VG/S, RPGFan is reliable per comments in here, as discussed in resolved comments from Nomader above. TV.com is part of CNET, a reliable publisher. MusicBrainz is a semi-open wiki style database, but all changes are subject to strict editorial review. Fleuve Noir link was dead, replaced with Amazon. As discussed above in Nomader's resolved comments, ff-xiii.net is not necessarily reliable per se, but the news articles cite primary sources (in Japanese) and they were the only place I could find that covered the info I needed. Axem Titanium (talk) 09:51, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
 * There is inconsistency with linking publishers, either link all the publishers that have links, or don't link them at all. Prime example would be the inconsistency with "GameSpot"
 * Done. Axem Titanium (talk) 10:45, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Publishers need to be the same throughout, Amazon is the publisher, not Amazon.co.uk (thats just the location difference, but Amazon is still the publisher). Square Enix is the publisher throughout, the location again is not important. If you must state it, place it as "Square Enix (Japan)"
 * Done. Axem Titanium (talk) 10:53, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Some refs don't have the language template, such as the Yahoo! Japan reference. (Btw, Yahoo is the publisher not Yahoo Japan)
 * Done. Axem Titanium (talk) 10:53, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
 * In a lot of the references, the formatting is a problem because you use brackets in the titles, when instead you should use parenthesis, prime examples are refs#112 and 69 (although there are a lot more)
 * Fixed. Axem Titanium (talk) 10:53, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Overall a good list, but some issues are there. For now I must Oppose until these are fixed.-- T ru  c o   503 17:43, 24 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Just checking, do you have a support or oppose opinion now that your comments have been resolved? Thanks, Axem Titanium (talk) 11:02, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
 * No, as a director I rarely support lists in which I have no real knowledge (as I may need to close them), so I simply review them for basic flaws. Cheers.  The Rambling Man (talk) 11:04, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok, well then, thanks for your helpful comments. Axem Titanium (talk) 12:03, 30 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Support – I've been watching this as you built it up before/during this FLC, and I'm really impressed with how it's shaped up. -- Pres N  15:17, 30 July 2010 (UTC) (Note- I wrote/FL'd the video games sublist)
