  • I would not merge two Good Articles without a RfC and prominent notices on each article's talk page, as well as notices to all the editors that made major contributions to each article (over 10 edits?). Since the goal is FA, I will review from that point of view. *While this is a good article in more ways than one, it has some ways to go to FA. Here are suggestions for improvement:
  • The lead is too short for the length of article (and I have not seen a recent FA with a one paragraph lead). My rule of thumb is that any header should be mentioned in the lead in some way, and nothing should be in the lead only. See WP:LEAD
  • Awkward sentence: As of March 31, 2003, Chrono Trigger was, with 2.65 million units, Square Enix's 12th best-selling game (based on copies shipped); Chrono Cross was, with 1.5 million units, the 24th.[1] First are there more recent sales figures than 2003? Second, how about wording it more like: As of March 31, 2003, Chrono Trigger was Square Enix's 12th best-selling game (with 2.65 million units shipped), and Chrono Cross was 24th with 1.5 million units.[1]?
  • Has to be a better way to say this about the "same staff" too: the "Dream Team" members did not participate in Chrono Cross, the game was developed mostly by the same staff as the first installment.[6]

Missing word? perhaps Chrono Trigger was the first [game] for which he had served as composer.

  • The game descriptions seem too short to me - also try emphasize connections between games since this article is about the series.
  • This sentence would get ripped to shreds at FAC: It is regarded today as one of the greatest games ever made.[13] Say who regards it (the ref gives the publisher, but when I looked the author's name is also given). If there are other examples like this, specifics on attribution are always better than generalities.
  • Per WP:WEIGHT the section "Dimensional Adventure Numa Monjar" seems too long and detailed compared with the rest of the article. There is more on a 16 minute promotional film than there is on the games it was made to promote.
  • I think "humorous" is meant instead of "humoristic"
  • A copy edit would be useful here - can also try to read the article aloud.
  • I am not familiar with games and their sources - make sure before FAC that all sources cited meet WP:RS
  • Finally, I would find a model FA on games and use that for ideas, style, etc. While not FA, I reviewed the Halo (series) article recently and it seems a bit more developed in some aspects than this article and may provide some ideas.

[edit] GA

Meets the criteria well enough to flag as a GA. Needs some copy-editing and other fixes, but nothing to fail over. — Deckiller 17:33, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

Pretty darn good, but Nuumamonjaa, wow. Gets some serious coverage here... Zeality 04:57, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Great series of articles, but I'd like more coverage on the three other Satellview games (Music Library, Character Library, and Jet Bike Special). And this is just kind of a small bother to me, but on the Chrono (Series) article, I would like the logo of Radical Dreamers to be present in it's section. I mean, Trigger, Cross, and even the ill fated Brake have their logos put up. Radical Dreamers just sticks out like a sore thumb without a picture. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.195.202.145 (talk) 10:41, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Radical Dreamer English Logo.png

Image:Radical Dreamer English Logo.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
