[edit] Final Fantasy IV Advance — Music Player

Since the Wikipedia articles use translated track names (for the most part), I would like to post what I believe to be the most official English track listing available. If anyone refutes this with iTunes, I'd point out that some track names have missing letters ("Mgitek Research Facility") or wrong words ("In Search of the Main in Black"), making it only reliable with interpretation.

[edit] GA review

• "a compilation of all of the music" - remove second "of"
• "received excellent reviews" - I think "very positive" is better to avoid being too sweeping
• "one of the best video game music soundtracks ever." - "ever composed."
• "especially "Aria di Mezzo Carattere"" - "particularly"
• "arranged and compilation albums by Square" - "arranged albums and compilations by Square"
• "Uematsu was personally very pleased with the was that" - typo
• I think Concept and Creation would be better suited in the Reception section. Instead of dealing with the development of the soundtrack, it primarily speaks of Uematsu's responses to his own work. Thus, it should be integrated into the Reception section.
• "and the catalog numbers PSCN-5001~3...new name and catalog numbers NTCP-5001~3" - I believe it is a "catalog number" not "numbers"
• "small differences in translation between the album and newer releases" - what kind of translation?
• "along with songs from Final Fantasy V." Redundant, since the CD name is Music From FFV and FFVI Video Games
• "was extremely well received" - reword to avoid being WP:Peacock.
• "The Black Mages, a band that arranges music" - it should be noted that the band was formed by Nobuo Uematsu.
• "from Darkness and Starlight." - to remain consistent, the release date should be mentioned.
• "appeared on Final Fantasy: Love Will Grow" - use present tense "appear"
• "as an series of albums" - typo "as a"

Good article, I will continue watching the page until you are done. -- Noj r (talk) 20:45, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

All fixed except for the catalog numbers one- for some strange reason, catalog numbers are done so that each individual disc gets its own. Therefore, it really is "catalog numbers PSCN-5001~3" - the first disk is 5001, the second is 5002, and the third is 5003. I don't know why they do it that way, but it's consistent across all publishers. Thank you for taking the time ro review this- I'm quite embarrassed by many of the grammar mistakes, but I'm glad they were caught. --PresN (talk) 22:23, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Ah, ok I understand about the catalog numbers, and dont worry about the mistakes everybody makes em. Just check out the peer review Im doing for EarthBound and see some of the whoppers I pulled. Needless to say, its a pass. It well written, informative, balanced, all that hodge podge. Congrats. EDIT: Accidentally missed the Square Enix Store link at the bottom. I took the liberty of removing it because it is pretty un-encyclopedic. -- Noj r (talk) 01:43, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
