Hi! I'd like to take the article to GA status. I've done a bit of a walkthrough, and I don't think it's super far from the criteria - would this be ok? Just looking through the first GA review to see if there is anything else outstanding from those comments. I'll do a little bit more cleanup - is there anything that is crying out for attention before an eventual nom? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 13:11, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

I say go for it. This is pretty much the exact situation as Xenoblade 2 a few weeks back. Sergecross73 msg me 13:38, 27 January 2021 (UTC)
I assumed as much, but always worth asking the major contributors. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 13:53, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

I'll add this one to my to-do list. It might take me through this weekend to find time, but hopefully sooner. Try to reach me if for some reason I forget. Shooterwalker (talk) 18:37, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
Going to start with the body and see how far I get.

Gameplay

The first sentence in the gameplay section needs a lot of work. It's really two fragments joined together by "and", where it could be more grammatical just to use a full stop and separate them. You also mention the developer but you haven't introduced the developer yet.
Sure, split. I think the new wording works. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 09:07, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
Following that, you want to give the player a broad sense of the game before you start getting into the details of how healing or character selection works.
Added a little bit of information. We've already covered it being a dungeon crawler, so just a bit more info has been added Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 09:07, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
"progresses" -> "explores" might be more plain and clear
Done Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 09:07, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
If you mean "floor" in the sense of a level and not in the sense of the ground, there might be a clearer way to explain the vertical layout.
I'd say those things are the same, but I have reworded. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 09:07, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
"the percentage of tiles the player has stepped on is listed." -> "the game displays the percentage of tiles the player has stepped on." (avoid passive voice, as it's less clear)
Done Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 09:07, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
"player battles against them using their Personas, which can attack enemies and heal allies." -> I know this is obvious to anyone familiar with the game and the series, but you don't explain to outside readers what a Persona is.
I have now explained a bit higher up when this is introduced. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 09:07, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
The last sentence of the gameplay section isn't clear either, probably due to some undefined terminology from the game.
Reworded to avoid the jargon and just say powerful and combining more than one character. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 09:07, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

Plot

"The game's story is split into two campaigns, which follow either the team of characters from Persona 3 or Persona 4 " -> "The game's story is split into two separate campaigns for each of the Persona 3 and 4 teams, starting part way through the events of the previous games."
Changed Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 09:18, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
Terms like "Investigation Team" and "Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad" should be explained. Who created them and why?
I've introduced them a bit better now. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 09:18, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
"and two doors appear that lead to different times" -> "with two doors that lead to different time periods"

"Discovering a labyrinth hidden below the school, the two groups meet amnesiac students Zen and Rei and decide to explore the area, fighting "shadows" along the way, in order to restore their memories (as they do not know how they got to the school) and hopefully find a way to escape." -> "The two groups discover a labyrinth below the school, where amnesiac students Zen and Rei need help restoring their memories of how they became trapped in the school. The students team up to find a way to escape, fighting "shadows" along the way."

The second paragraph is basically grammatical, but it's a tough read. I'm not sure how much of that is because the game is too fantastical to understand. Did Zen know he was Chronos, or did he destroy his own memory for some reason? Did he do anything to try to bring her happiness, or did he mainly just erase her bad memories? I'm not sure how to help this. It's possible that the second paragraph should be split, with one paragraph explaining the characters, and the other explaining how the events unfold in the game.
It is a tough read, but it's also a tough plot! So (as far as I remember it), Chronos splits himself in two, Zen and Clockwork God to give happyness to the dead girl (yeah, it's a bit silly). He seals their memories away. The game is set where the Clockwork God brings all the characters in to try and get Zen to regain the memories so he can become Chronos again. I'm not sure that I have the will in me to try and make more sense of that! Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 09:18, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

"The main aim was to create something for fans of the Persona series" -> this sort of feels like an empty sentence. Not to say you should strike it, as I'm guessing that maybe the decision to include characters from two past games would give this more meaning and context.
Yeah, I've reworded Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 09:28, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
"The opening animation was directed by Tomohisa Taguchi, who also served as director for Persona 4: The Golden Animation." -> this sentence is out of place in the first paragraph

You say they added a bunch of systems without really explaining what they are or how they work. Particularly "Sub-Personas", let alone the Personas themselves.
It is explained now in the Gameplay, so I've added that it's just that characters can equip a second one. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs)

Consider shortening the music section. A lot of it is sourced to primary sources like liner notes, which risks verging into WP:UNDUE weight without coverage in reliable secondary sources. I'm sympathetic with wanting to shine a light on people buried deep in the credits, but this isn't really appropriate if they aren't attracting independent coverage.
I've removed a bit I'm a bit reticent to remove too much, as the music in Persona is quite a big deal, as they have full on concerts every year. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 09:28, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
Going to pause there. See if you can tackle those and we'll keep working. The prose needs a lot of work. I did my best to flag the most unclear parts, but it might be worth bringing in a grammar checker like Grammarly or Hemmingway to reconstruct the sentences in more readable ways. Shooterwalker (talk) 15:04, 2 October 2021 (UTC)
Hi Shooterwalker, this doesn't seem all that difficult to sort, but you may have to give me a couple of days as I have a few other nominations open. I'll drop you a ping when I've responded to the above. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 11:46, 3 October 2021 (UTC)
Thanks for your persistence. This one needs a bit more work, but if you're patient then I will be too. I'll retreat some loose ends, and then hopefully get to the later sections.

Is there significance to any of the words "Fysis Oikein Eidolon"? It does feel odd to drop a bunch of made-up words without defining any of them, and I'm tempted to focus on just the acronym.
Agreed. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 12:24, 8 October 2021 (UTC)
"Boosting multiple characters increases the likelihood of perform more powerful attacks, or those combining multiple characters" -> probably "performing". When you say "those", do you mean attacks? Might be good just to say that because it's currently unclear.

Music
"Two versions of the battle theme were created, one for the Persona 3 characters and one for the Persona 4 characters, each with instrumentation and vocals related to the respective casts." -> this statement is probably not explicitly stated in the liner notes and thus would cross the line into WP:OR. Even so, I think it gives WP:UNDUE weight to the subject, and breaks the flow of the rest of the paragraph, which talks about overall style and direction of the soundtrack.

"Lyrics and vocals for multiple tracks were provided by Lotus Juice, a musician with a long history of collaborating with Meguro on the Persona series: one of his prominent contributions was to "Laser Beam", the main boss battle theme" -> I don't think the source says "prominent", but it does mention "Laser Beam" to some degree. Try something like: "Meguro worked with long-time Persona collaborator Lotus Juice, who created lyrics and vocals for several tracks, including the main boss battle theme."
Done. Worth noting Lotus Juice is boss. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 12:30, 8 October 2021 (UTC)

Is there a source that any of music unique to Persona Q is performed at concerts? Not strictly necessary, but would be an interesting fact to add, if it can be verified in a reliable source.

We are getting closer and we are in the home stretch. There are some notes still, but with a little patience we can finish this off. Going to circle back to the lead, which is easier to review now that the article is more stable.


#### Lead
The lead mentions it being published in Australia, but it's not mentioned in the article (or cited).
Hmm, I might need a hand here, as I don't know how this is handled. The only thing I could find is this [https://www.kotaku.com.au/2014/11/persona-q-almost-defeated-me-but-i-wont-let-it-win/ Aus Kotaku article, which comments about it being released "yesterday", which would put it on a Nov release.

The reception section reads quite well now!
I feel good about how far this article has come, and hopefully this can take us close to the finish line. Shooterwalker (talk) 15:08, 8 October 2021 (UTC)
Thanks Shooterwalker - I had one question about the Aus release, but otherwise covered the above. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 21:01, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
Thanks for your work on this. The article is in better shape on the whole and is very close to meeting good article standards. I'm looking for other precedents, and Persona 3 is actually rated as a good article without any sources for THQ handling the Australia release. I'd be curious to get feedback from the Video Game Wikiproject. But I think the Australia Kotaku source is fine, and certainly better than nothing. It might verge on original research, but I think the article would be worse by its omission. Someone can update it if they find a better source. Shooterwalker (talk) 00:59, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
I have now cited this in the infobox, so hopefully that's everything addressed. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 13:03, 17 October 2021 (UTC)
Amazing. Happy to give this a promotion and thanks again for your hard work. Shooterwalker (talk) 00:01, 18 October 2021 (UTC)
