Reviews[edit]

If anyone knows the famitsu review i think it would be good to add it (like in any videogame as it is the only review everyone takes seriously worldwide)

- Also, Shouldn't we add the X-Play review? Plus, X-Play's distaste of the series?

Music[edit]

What is exactly meant by Episode III being Kajiura Yuki's first solo composition project since the .hack anime? Rather, what exactly is a "solo composition project"? She's recently done My-Otome and other anime individually and not as a joint project, so I think that remark in the music section should be removed. Alternatively, one could mention My-Otome, although I don't think that's really necessary since that's in 2005-2006 and Episode III is 2006. -- Remy Suen 18:33, 18 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]


Does anyone know if the Emily Curtis from the soundtrack is the same one as the one that's in Wikipedia? Wikilinks are always nice. :) --Remy Suen 10:54, 12 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]


The Opening and Ending to Mai-Otome aren't Kajiura's work now is it?69.224.164.195 08:54, 20 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Adding Information about the Censorship.[edit]

Considering this game seems to have the heaviest out of all the Xenosaga games, in terms of censorship, could someone possibly compile information on what was changed? (And from reports given, I have a feeling this'll be a long list...) - Mendinso

Agreed. - MK

If it helps, all the changes I've noticed involved the removal of blood and some bruises. I might be able to get a better list somewhere, though. --melodiester 14:20, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
i think there are three scenens wich have been modified, just removing blood. This changes a lot one of the scenes, where little shion says "put it back" because it doesn't mean anything in the U.S. version (in the jp version she holds blodd and says put it back). Even though, i don't know if you may say that it was more heavily censored than ep1, where two scenes where really modified

The scenes that are edited are:


SPOILERS


1. Febronia is attacked and killed in her church. There was blood when she was being beaten. 2. When Shion's parents are killed. There is blood coming from her parents when they are killed. 3. When little Shion is holding the blood. 4. Yuriev's assault in the Durandal. There was blood when the Durandal crew were shot and you got to see Yuriev's solider kill the woman, instead of it cutting away. There was a big blood splatter on the floor when he killed her. 5. Shion's shower scene. They added a bit more steam. 6. Margulis's death scene. You saw him kill himself in the Japanese version. 7. They took off the blood and bruises from Allen's face in the ending. 8. Jin's death. There was blood in the original scene.

Blood-a little silly?[edit]

I know this doesn't have much to do with the article, but, if Batman vs. Dracula could have so much blood, then why does this have to be censored so heavily? This is just my opinion. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 216.222.232.9 (talk) 02:38, 3 March 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:L p1004457297.jpg[edit]

Image:L p1004457297.jpg 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 insure 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.

Reception and Plot/Story[edit]

  • As for the Plot Summary/Story, it seems as though it needed cleanup until someone decided to remove all content except the first paragraph, and nobody undid it? Seems the section needs expansion again.
  • Reception review links should be added as citations, not as external links.

  1. Is it reasonably well written?
    Does the game ever explain what "AGWS" stands for?
    I've added that.
    I was going to say the first instance of KOS-MOS (in the first "Setting" paragraph) isn't Wikilinked, rather the third mention (in the "Characters" section) is. However, is seems unclear from the wording whether there are multiple KOS-MOS androids or only one. Can you clarify this? And Wikilink the first mention of the character KOS-MOS? The character is also mentioned in the second paragraph in the "Setting" section
    I've clarified; KOS-MOS the character is a prototype model of the KOS-MOS battle android line. Also, I've fixed it so the characters are wikilinked in their first mention.
    "a landmass that seemingly originating from Lost Jerusalem" - grammar error
    Fixed.
    "who tended him with he was injured" - same here
    Fixed.
    "reached #2" - change to either No. 2 or number 2 as per MOS:HASH
    Done.
  2. Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
    A. Has an appropriate reference section:
    B. Citation to reliable sources where necessary:
    C. No original research:
  3. Is it broad in its coverage?
    A. Major aspects:
    B. Focused:
  4. Is it neutral?
    Fair representation without bias:
  5. Is it stable?
    No edit wars, etc:
  6. Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?
    A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid fair use rationales are provided for non-free content:
    B. Images are provided if possible and are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:
  7. Overall:
    Pass or Fail: Very close to passing. Placing on hold. Freikorp (talk) 09:07, 10 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    @Freikorp: I've attended to all the issues you raised with the prose. --ProtoDrake (talk) 10:17, 10 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    Looks good. Happy to pass this now, though after re-reading I've noticed the year of release is not mentioned in the lead. I think that should be added. Freikorp (talk) 15:49, 10 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
