Hey all, video game list time rather than another sci-fi/fantasy awards list. This one's a bit unique- most game companies out there can't support a list composed of just the franchises they develop/publish, rather than the games, but Square Enix is a unique beast. And that's reflected in this list: the franchises are divided up between franchises developed by
Those of you who don't spend time in video game articles won't realize how much of a surprise the "sales" column is: getting sales numbers in video game land, unlike movies and music, is like pulling teeth from a rhinoceros who only speaks Japanese- it's all scattered non-English sources that you have to dig for and pull together to get a number that even remotely approximates reality. If a franchise here is missing sales data, no sources exist anywhere that I could find for that data. Before ending this nomination, I'd like to thank Misconceptions2, who created the initial list and the first (slightly premature) nomination a month ago- I would never have willingly subjected myself to making this list, but they made it happen. Thanks all for reviewing! --PresN 03:50, 26 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

- I'll be back later. But please look at reference 87 that has an error message (at least what I see) "External link in |title= (help)". — Maile (talk) 17:59, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm back. Gaming is not my area of knowledge, so I'll say this looks good as far as what I can see. Except for WP:DTT - I don't see scope="col" and scope="row", and that seems to be stressed on FLC reviews. — Maile (talk) 19:28, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- @Maile66:: Fixed the reference error, seemed to confuse the wikilink with an external link. Also put in row/col scopes- knew I was forgetting something. --PresN 19:59, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support - Happy to give you my support. — Maile (talk) 20:03, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support First of all I would like to express my admiration for your efforts in sourcing the list. I have only a couple of suggestions:
- You should format reference 87.
- In note 1 I would suggest to specify as of when are the most recent numbers: "Sales numbers are based on the most recent available sourced numbers as of .......; actual total sales numbers...". --Gligan (talk) 18:11, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Did both, though I'm on the fence about the "as of" bit. --PresN 20:00, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Support, vast improvement on the previous. All of my concerns from that one have been met. --Golbez (talk) 18:18, 15 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Closing note: This WP:FLC/ar, and leave the {{featured list candidates}} template in place on the talk page until the bot goes through. Giants2008 (Talk) 21:25, 18 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
