[edit] Release Issues
I've noticed that different games seem to be treated differently with respect to whether versions from all released regions are listed or not. In some cases, a game only published by Enix in one region is listed for all regions it was released in, while other games only list the region where they were published by Enix. For example:
- Illusion of Gaia (developed by Quintet) lists "Illusion of Gaia" as the title for the NA (North American) region, and "Illusion of Time" for the PAL (Europe, et al) region. The title for the JP (Japanese) region loosely translates to the same (lit. Gaia Illusion Period), however the title "Illusion of Gaia" only has the NA region marker after it, not something like "NA/JP". The date listed is for the JP region, with no mention of release dates for the other regions. Finally, Illusion of Gaia was only published by Enix in Japan, while in the other regions, Nintendo published it, possibly with no mention of Enix at all.
- In contrast, Paladin's Quest (developed by Copya System) only lists information for its NA release, as it wasn't published by Enix anywhere else. However, it was released in the JP region, published by Asmik Corporation almost a year earlier, as is common with games developed in Japan.
It seems to me that this article needs an additional column or two, possibly eliminating the "Regions" column altogether, expanding the "date" column to three colums, for "JP release", "NA release", and "Int'l release" or something to that effect. I submit that all releases of each game should be included, even releases published by other companies, as long as Enix published the game in at least one of the regions. Obviously, a note would be added, one way or another, about the game in question being published by someone else, in whichever region this was the case. --- K1darkknight (talk) 11:39, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
Additionally, I've found no indication, anywhere, that Phalanx was either developed OR published by Enix, nor any hint that it was ever connected to them, in any way. I left it in place, since I also have no evidence that Enix had absolutely nothing to do with it whatsoever, since apparently someone, at some point, thought they did. Finally, I could find no information about the existence of any game simply titled "Savior". There are a handful of games with the word savior in their titles, but nothing where that word makes up the entire title, and certainly nothing connected with Enix. I left it in place, likewise, since I have no evidence that such a game does not exist, however I highly doubt it. I would recommend removing both these titles, however I feel it would be more appropriate for whomever originally added them to remove them, or at least comment about why they were added in the first place. --- K1darkknight (talk) 14:20, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
