Sudeki has been listed as one of the Video games good articles under the good article criteria. If you can improve it further, please do so. If it no longer meets these criteria, you can reassess it. Review: March 4, 2021. (Reviewed version). |
"The title Sudeki derives from Japanese word wonderful (素敵, suteki?), though some find it amusing the title is closer to steak (ステーキ, sutēki?)."
There seems to be no source for this. A leading member of the team actually said to me that the name is just made up and that the resemblance to suteki (wonderful) is a mere coincidence. Whoever wrote that bit could post their source - otherwise it'll have to go as unsourced speculation. 193.64.250.107 08:44, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
May I clarify the history of the name.
The title of the game was decided by asking members of the development team at Climax for suggestions. Microsoft was to choose from the suggested titles, and I, Miko, suggested the romanization of "素敵" ('suteki'). However, when Microsoft XBox division picked this, they misspelled it, and thus it became 'sudeki'.

It says that under the Characters Heading, that there are eight playable characters. However, I have completed the game several times and have not once been able to play as Cafu, which I find sad that, as since he is Elco's Shadow Counter Part (and since Cafu is my favourite player), you should be able to play as him. Can you possible change the article so that it says there are 7 playable characters, but 8 main characters or something please? Or if you can actually play as Cafu, can you tell me where/how please? Cheers. -- §Lacky§ 00:07, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
Sudeki needs a Japanese article. WhisperToMe (talk) 12:24, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
I've seen Sudeki mentioned in the Guinness Gamer's Edition for 2010, as one of the top ten RPGs to be played; I can't remember the exact catagory it was listed under, nor where to place it in this article, but I believe it would be a significant achievement to be recognised. How should this be handled? 122.106.238.201 (talk) 05:59, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Oh right, this game - I remember seeing used copies of it at GameStop and being baffled by the outfit the character on the cover is wearing. I'll be back with a review soon.--AlexandraIDV 10:34, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

Infobox
Lead
Set on the splintered world of Sudeki, now divided into the twin planets Illumina and Akloria- does "now" add anything?
anime aesthetic- would reword as "anime-inspired aesthetic", and link anime
Gameplay
use the blacksmith to purchase and upgrade weaponssounds strange to me, as I'm assuming the blacksmith is a person. I would suggest rewording to say you can revisit the blacksmith to do those things.
talking to certain NPCs lead into side quests- leads into side quests.
Save points are found at different points through the environment.- "at different points" is unnecessary, it's already clear that the save points aren't all located at the same spot. Can be reworded as "...are found throughout the game".
Synopsis
which is currently united under the Bright Empire- does "currently" add anything?
the four are first defeat a siren monster- should presumably read as "the four first defeat..."
allowing Sudeki reunify.- I assume this should be "allowing Sudeki to reunify."
Development
Microsoft manager Peter Connelly said that Japan was failing to deliver RPGs for the Xbox- it's Japanese game companies that weren't developing Xbox RPGs, not the country of Japan
the title was changed due to potential confusion with a similarly-titled series.- do we know what series this was?
The game was originally planned to be called "Suteki"- originally is not the right word here, because as you mention earlier in this section, the game was at first titled Symphony of Light
which can roughly translates from Japanese- "which roughly translates". Also, consider linking suteki to wikt:素敵.
so much opening lore than the opening"that the opening"
producing "literally hundreds"- do we need to quote this? Can't we just write "producing hundreds"?
Tal's original version- "Tal's original design", right?
its current technology-infused version- "current" implies it could change again in the future. Would recommend changing to "its final..."
Release
As part of its promotion, several notable voice actors were brought in to dub the characters- it does feel strange to say they are notable, and then not actually note who they are.
The cover art was designed by manga artist Yamato Yamamoto.- would specify that this is the cover art for the Japanese release only
The GOG version was delisted on 28 May 2020- do we know why?
Microsoft, owners of the Sudeki IP,- would recommend writing out "intellectual property"
Reception
customization- rest of article uses customisation etc
Hilary Goldstein of IGN, found it- extraneous comma
I will put this on hold for the usual seven days - ping me when you have addressed the above or if you have any questions!--AlexandraIDV 14:12, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
