VG To-do:


Just some recommended to do's. Not integral but would be nice to have in the article:

  • 2) A Reception section.
  • 3) Fleshed out storyline section. A complete and detailed synopsis could be valuable to those who want to remember certain plot points.
  • The article is coming along great. It's definetely one of the better articles regarding a Megami Tensei game. If anyone has other recommendations please list and discuss them.

The 1 and 2 are quite common in other WP VG projects. But the detailed game story is debatable. -- Sameboat - 同舟 02:36, 3 August 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Soundtracks

I can't believe how much conflict there is about this, I thought this would help flesh out a lot of pages! Anyways, what is the solution for the soundtrack section? Should the soundtracks have their own pages or should we just put a tracklist table on each of them and call it a day? --EditingMachine

Preserve the soundtrack section, yes. Build another soundtracks topic, no. Even the Music of Final Fantasy XII is quite a filler in WP IMHO. -- Sameboat - 同舟 07:15, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
I don't understand how that page is filler. It would seem to be out of place on the main article page yet if it didn't exist, no article would deal with the FF12 soundtracks. When editing a video game article we have limited information to rely on. Let's keep in mind that we have little media to reference (the game itself and its soundtracks, merchandise, art, etc.) as compared to a topic related to a scientific field which has far more information to reference. We have to work with what we got. --EditingMachine 07:58, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
At the very least, I think we Wikipedians have the obligation to balance between editing scientific data and fandom advertising. I can surely say, most WP founders prefer the scientific articles to be expanded rather than those in entertaining (popular culture) field. This article, Persona 2, is really an excellent model compared to other scaled VG articles in Wikipedia. I pray that this will not be ruined. -- Sameboat - 同舟 08:18, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
"Flesh out a lot of pages"??? All you would be doing is writing non-referenced stuff about soundtracks and drama CDs, some (most?) of which weren't even released outside Japan. If you want to add a bare list of soundtracks to the game article, that's fine. Johnnyfog 13:31, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] VG Assessment

This is in regards to the request at the VG Assessment page. I'm rating this article as B-class, Low-importance. Here are a few tips to improve it!

Gameplay- you don't need to say what buttons are used- that's too detailed. Y Done Johnnyfog (talk) 17:24, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Contacting demons- Try not to use bulleted lists.Y Done Johnnyfog (talk) 17:24, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Reception- way too short! Even if one of them was never released out of Japan, you should be able to find more than that. Try to find someone who speaks Japanese at the VG Wikiproject if you need it.

Other than that, this article is really good. B! --PresN 15:27, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
