thread_title: Changed credit

message: Does anyone have any real information on this game? The trailer seems to give off the impression that the game is being developed by Game Republic, the developers who did Genji, not GAIA, the developers who did Monster Kingdom: Jewel Summoner. Neither the official GAIA website, or the official Game Republic website mention anything about this game. So, I've doubts whether Okada is actually involved with this game or not, especially since the "Monster Kingdom" part of the title has been removed entirely. --Serph 11:49, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  I've spoken with Atlus USA, the people who localized Jewel Summoner, and I was told that, Gaia (Okada's company) is not involved with the development, but Cozy Okada does have some creative input. --Serph 21:07, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

"Folks Soul" appears to be the new title, as if switching to Unknown Realms after Monster Kingdom wasn't enough.
And there are new screens and information there, too.
::So, the article needs to be renamed and rewritten? I certainly have no desire to do so, so, hopefully someone else will. --Serph 05:58, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Did the announcement of a localized English version come along with any projected release dates?  Or specific regions for release?  --GargoyleMT 16:10, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No, it's just "TBA" in America. Personally, I'd expect to see it in late 07/early 08, since they've clearly made quite a bit of progress on it for America. But, eh.  --GR 06:40, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Added new screenshot (the original one was weird, it wasn't very clear at all) and a fair bit information. Also some corrections. - Admeister200x - 4th October 2007.  —Preceding signed but undated comment was added at 08:27, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

message: I heard that Folklore's opening song was Nephilim by abingdon boys school in the Japanese release.  Was this carried over the international versions? Antisora 10:44, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

message: Anonymous editors keep deleting information in the criticism section. This has to stop, what can we do? Black-Velvet 03:32, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: To be honest I can see why.  Most of the article is full of information that isn't appropriate.  Wikipedia isn't the place to compile lists of reviews or criticisms.  It would be more appropriate to just note that the game has recieved criticism for a few things and leave it at that rather than listing each and every one of them. Antisora 09:17, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I didn't list each and every one of them, only the criticisms that were remarked upon by a number of reviewers. It's a little too vague to just say that a game was simply 'criticised'. Either way, I'd appreciate it if the matter were discussed on the talk page before the criticism section were blanked out entirely (by someone who clearly wasn't doing it in the interest of Wikipedia remaining encyclopedic). Black-Velvet 15:25, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

text: I've checked your contributions. You've only edited one other article under that IP - once. Your sole purpose of being here seems to be this game. Forgive me for being skeptical. Check out WP:VG/GL: "A staple of any video game article is its reception section. It makes a case for the game's notability and provides important out-of-universe information, such as critical review." There is nothing saying I can't provide common criticisms from different professional game reviewers. Couple that with be bold, and you'll find that the article as a whole essentially benefits from the extended criticism section. Black-Velvet 13:20, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: How do you claim to justify that? I noticed that whoever did the scores table left out several major gaming publishers that happened to give the game less than an 8 out of ten. If you were going to give this game an average rating rated from all of the major gaming publishers, you'd get something like 7 or 6.7. I'm merely adding in important critical information. If you feel that tips the POV scales, then contribute some important positive critical evaluations. Don't just delete information like that, that's unencyclopedic. Black-Velvet 14:01, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

text: Also, those people were accused of vandalism because they blanked out part of the criticism section of an article, didn't leave an edit summary and didn't mention why on the talk page. Black-Velvet 14:10, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

text: We've been through this, this is an electronic encyclopedia, we don't have issues with space. There's nothing inherently inherently unencyclopedic about listing a video game's commonly cited criticisms (this isn't an exhaustive list, it only lists criticisms that have appeared in two or more reviews), and it doesn't in the least make the article 'unwieldy' or unbalanced - not at all as much as the act of removing this information, for reasons that are at best vague and poorly defined. Comparisons to other video game articles do not justify deletion of referenced material. Black-Velvet 09:30, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

text: Again, whether or not bullet points in the criticism section constitute undue weight is a matter of perspective. I've asked for a Third Opinion, so maybe we can get this all sorted out. Black-Velvet 07:44, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Major problem with criticism section 

message: Undue weight requires us to present the balance of information in comparable proportion to how it appears in the body of reliable sources. Considering that the article makes it clear that the reviews were "mixed", it would be undue weight to include so much critical information. Using a bullet point list further highlights the criticisms (bullet lists are a visual draw). The balance of reviews is also more positive than negative. If there should be any "tilt" towards one perspective or another, there should be a bit more presentation of the positive reviews. Vassyana (talk) 20:52, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
