Will take this one on as discussed earlier. Thanks for your patience! ＶＲＸＣＥＳ (talk) 05:08, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
Please find some comments below. Feel free to cross them out as you go, there's not that much. I will do a spot check on some of the sources when I can to wrap up the GAN assessment when I can. ＶＲＸＣＥＳ (talk) 05:37, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
Review
Does the article conform to the general standards of WP:VG articles including the WP:MOS? 
Pretty much by the book.
Is the article generally well-written? The quality of writing is great and above-average for GANs. I appreciate the concision. No issues from what I can see.
Is the article broad enough in its coverage? Absolutely. The article has a significant coverage of review sources and a sizable amount of sourcing on the development and release for the game.
Do the sources cited verify the text in the article? 
TBC. Some articles are WP:OFFLINE so I will need to do some digging.
Are media and links properly attributed and do not have copyright issues? Stock-standard non-free use templates are used correctly for images. 
Best practice is to explain why the image is needed for illustration, but as a general gameplay screenshot this is unlikely to be needed.
Done -- I included two missing paragraphs into the summary infobox of the gameplay image file. Roberth Martinez (talk) 17:32, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
Any other personal opinions or miscellaneous feedback that may or may not be relevant to the nomination? Yes, some include:
- For the headline, things could be cleared up a little: Hall's composition of Millennium Soldier seems trivial and not necessary information for the headline. Given VideoGames is not a notable industry accolade, it is probably not significant enough to include in the headline.
- Done -- I removed the two paragraphs from the headline section. Roberth Martinez (talk) 17:32, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
- For the reviews, please note: best practice as per WP:VG/REC really is to try and distil the paragraphs by thematic topics rather than as a list of summarised reviews: i.e. gameplay, graphics, sound, and so on. This is quite prescriptive and the section is well-written as-is so I'm not sure this is necessary for the GAN, but something to note for future or FAC. I also note that for older games there is much more to uniquely write about in discrete categories.
- Okay, i'll try keeping that advice for future GAs from my part. Roberth Martinez (talk) 17:32, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
- There really isn't much else. This is very well-written. Great work.
- @Vrxces: I got around and did changes in regards to your inquiries. Is there anything else that needs to be changed? Let me know! Roberth Martinez (talk) 17:32, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
