List of Square Enix video games

 * Nominator(s):  Pres N  20:46, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

Hey, another list for you guys! Presenting: a list of every game Square Enix has developed or published since its inception in 2003 in one big sortable list. With 256 citations, the reference list is longer than most articles, but it means that everything is cited. Have at it! -- Pres N  20:46, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

 * The history of Square Enix will need to be sourced, e.g. "The company was formed from the merger between Square and Enix on April 1, 2003."
 * Done. -- Pres N  00:13, 12 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Am I correct to assume that this list and the list of downloadable games do not share entries?
 * Correct. -- Pres N  00:26, 11 August 2011 (UTC)


 * On the list, decide whether you are wikilinking all instances of "Arcade game", "Think Garage", etc. I believe the answer should be yes because this is a sortable table. The only exception might be "Square Enix", which I think is overlinked and should only appear in the prose.
 * I always link everything in sortable tables; I'm open to dropping the links to Square Enix, though. -- Pres N  00:26, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I meant that the examples I listed have mixed linked/unlinked usage. You should be able to spot this easily by resorting each column. There may be others I missed. — Arsonal (talk + contribs) — 00:33, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh, I see. Fixed. -- Pres N  00:48, 11 August 2011 (UTC)


 * I did some thinking on Drilnoth's comment regarding the release date. I guess the important thing to consider is whether the first date of release is the only one that matters. I haven't checked, but it's possible one game could be released outside Japan first, but it's still a first release. However, listing out all the release dates can give the reader an indication of that video game's release schedule. I have no particular objection with leaving it this way though. — Arsonal (talk + contribs) — 03:59, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Support, seems like a pretty good list. Meets WP:WIAFL. –Drilnoth (T/C) 11:01, 16 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Support: the lead was my main issue with the list, and I hadn't anticipated it being remedied so quickly. Well done. I have no other objections, and looking over it once more, I'm happy to lend my support. Nomader  ( talk ) 04:42, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
