message: I'd like to see the creation of a column which says who wrote each song, as Nobuo Uematsu did not write them all. I'd do this myself, but I left my soundtrack with booklet elsewhere, and I don't have access to it. I also can't seem to find this on internet. If anybody could do this, or find me a link, so I can do it myself, that'd be cool.Happypal 03:49, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

text: Find me a reliable source that states that "everyone" (or anyone) didn't read the back of the album and confused the artist on "Otherworld" with a german death metal band that sounds nothing at all like them, and sure, it could be mentioned. --PresN (talk) 04:05, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

message: This is my first Good Article review, so apologies if there are any unintentional slip ups. The article is very promising and with others in the series to compare it to it should be fairly straightforward.
So, to start off with, here's what the article already meets:
*It is factually accurate and verifiable.
::Citations have been included throughout. I'm happy with the level of sourcing.
*It is broad in its coverage.
::The article covers everything about the music without going into a level of unnecessary detail.
*It is neutral; that is, it represents viewpoints fairly and without bias.
::Criticism of the soundtrack has been handled evenly and cited carefully
*It is stable
::Indeed. Minor improvements are happening to the article, but there's no major content changes.
*It is illustrated, where possible and appropriate, by images
::All images and sound samples have been checked and have fair use rationales included
That leaves us with:
*It is well written.
The content is good, but there are a some sections that need rewording slightly here or there. It's nothing major, it's just to help improve readability or clear up confusion.
*Lead - couple of minor points
::An EP entitled feel/Go dream: Yuna & Tidus containing additional singles not present in the game was released by DigiCube in 2001, and Piano Collections Final Fantasy X, a collection of piano arrangements of the original soundtracks arranged for the piano by Masashi Hamauzu and performed by Aki Kuroda, was released by DigiCube in 2002 and re-released by Square EA in 2004. - look at breaking this sentence up.
::The music was overall well received... - change to The music was well received overall
*Creation and influence - Is there any information on production timescales? Were these works that were quick to produce, or was it a long and drawn out process? If the information's not available don't worry, it was just a thought.
*Albums
::I'm not sure I understand why Suteki da ne is not listed under Albums
::"Suteki da ne" has an in-game version together with an orchestrated version used as part of the ending theme. - where/how is the in-game version used? Is it just atmospheric/background music, or is it used in cutscenes etc?
::Feel/Go Dream - It was first released in Japan by DigiCube on 11 October 2001, - if there were no subsequent releases, this word is unnecessary.
*Reception and legacy - a few minor points
::while some reviewers felt it to be an "absolutely amazing" soundtrack, others only found it to be a "satisfying" work that was "not quite all [they] were hoping for". - no need for [they] as it's a direct quote and breaks up the sentence too much. If the original was we, maybe swap it back to that. Otherwise it might be an idea to rephrase that last part.
::Several reviewers felt that of the three composers, Uematsu's pieces were the weakest, citing them as "sub-par" and having a tendency to be "buried" under the compositions of the other composers. - consider removing the last composers and finishing as the others.
::Piano Collections Final Fantasy X, however, was very well received - no need for the however as there's no contrasting happening. Additionally, it might be an idea to look at merging this with the following sentence and tweaking phrasing slightly.
::Final Fantasy X Vocal Collection, however, was poorly received by critics. - this is fine as it demonstrates the contrast in reception between Piano Collections and Vocal Collection
::The Black Mages have arranged three pieces from Final Fantasy X.  - maybe put in a few words to illustrate who they are (Uematsu's rock group). Nothing major, just to clarify it for the reader.
That's all I can come up with. I'll mark the review as on hold and keep watching the page. This is my first GA review, so I'll make a final scan through if it's alright once we've settled the above, although I don't think there will be anything further. Other than that, thanks for all the hard work you're putting in to this article and the series. Gazimoff (talk) 11:15, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Is there something missing from the discography listings?  The Tidus and Yuna Sky theme is not listed on any of the drop-downs, so which album does it belong to?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.231.81.27 (talk) 04:42, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Quick google search is telling me that the song was released in an album that was given out at Tokyo Game Show 2001. It's not from any actual FFX album, which is why you can't find it in the article. --PresN (talk) 15:10, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

message: Just wondering why Uematsu and Hamauzu are credited on every Hymn of the Fayth track except for 4-4 (Yojimbo). Is that correct or is it simply an oversight? 95.223.64.165 (talk) 15:05, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Hymn of the Fayth 

message: Both on iTunes and in-game, the track name is simply "Zanarkand".  While this is something I could go ahead and fix, I'm also curious about how to render the spoken-dialogue tracks at the start and finish of the OSt.  Since the Japanese track names have (or are at least listed here as having) those quotation-equiv. right-angle things, I propose that the English track names be given in quotation marks.  I also propose that they be rendered as outright sentences, with punctuation and only the first word capitalized.  As credence to this motion (?), I bring up the titles for some of FFX-2's in-game music and FMVs, such as "Let me blow you a kiss.", "Joost leave it tae us!", and "See you next time, kiddies!" (forgive me if I got the ending punctuations wrong); since Square Enix has used this format themselves, I feel it can be applied here without much incident. T.J. Fuller, Jr. (talk) 05:13, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't see any problem with adding the quote marks and punctuation, but I'm unsure on the capitalization- I'd just go with however SE/iTunes has it, as those are the official English track names, which don't always line up perfectly with the Japanese ones. Either way, it doesn't really matter to me. --PresN 16:43, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  English Track Names Concern 

message: From what I gather the two reviews which are used as citations for this one paragraph state entirely different opinions from those shown in the article: 
* Some reviewers felt that of the three composers, Uematsu's pieces were the weakest, citing them as "sub-par" and having a tendency to be "buried" under the compositions of the others.
However source 5 and 15 state that songs in the game were some of Uematsu's best. (Source 15 naming Otherworld and Source 5 naming To Zanakand) 
I'd change the article myself but I'm not really good at writing =( Grey Goshawk (talk) 19:47, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: They don't flatly contradict the statement, but the summary in the article is misleading. Both references talk about Uematsu's stuff being buried a bit, as it's "more of the same" Uematsu music compared to the more inventive stuff by the other two, as well as Uematsu having the largest number of "bland" or "throwaway" pieces out of the three.  You're right though, in that they also note that the best of Uematsu's pieces are some of the best on the soundtrack as a whole, and neglecting to state this paints an incomplete picture of how his work was received.  Fixed now, I hope. --PresN 20:06, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
