Putting this and my other current review on 2O because I am clearly somewhere between grudgingly tolerated and actively unwanted on Wikipedia, and I should at least clear my head a bit and drop current obligations. I'm further into this review than the other, so notes to whoever picks this up: I was about to start an in-depth prose review, because a fair amount of the lead in particular caught my eye as wanting copyediting, but otherwise didn't have severe qualms with the article.

This review kind of... didn't, and I have no idea why Vaticidalprophet thinks anyone is against them, so I'll pick this up and review.
Kawazu has stated that he was invited into the job by a school friend.- beats around the bush: "Kawazu was invited into the job by a school friend." Could also merge it with the preceding sentence.
During his time with the magazine, he gained exposure to the industry and its products, originally writing reviews for various products- kind of awkward ("for various products"); could be rewritten more straightforwardly as "He started out writing product reviews, and during his time with the magazine he gained exposure to games and the video games industry."
Despite the odds being against him, he applied for a job there.- tone; better as "Despite his lack of video game development experience, he applied for a job there."
he was asked by Sakaguchi to make the company's new role-playing game (RPG) project Final Fantasy- "help make" or "work on", surely
for the Game Boy, Square president Masafumi Miyamoto wanted to make their own version of it- could clarify as "their own version of it for the console", since they made an RPG but they did make it for the Game Boy
following his resignation- confused me for a second, maybe clarify "resignation from the board"
He would take over as executive producer of Final Fantasy XII in 2005 release after Yasumi Matsuno withdrew- "In 2005 he took over as executive producer of Final Fantasy XII after Yasumi Matsuno withdrew"
Following the troubled production of Legend of Mana, where he took on a supervisory role in keeping the project from cancellation, Kawazu decided that his main talent lay as a producer overseeing projects.- this feels like it would be better in "Career", where it would also have context of when it happened relative to other games he worked on. --PresN 16:05, 20 May 2021 (UTC)
