1. Is it reasonably well written?

   "and later ported to other systems including the Dreamcast" - In the lead, why not mention which other systems, or at least when the Dreamcast port happened?

   Ensign always had a capital at Sakura Wars (video game), yet it does not here. Which is correct?

   I made some copyedits. Feel free to revert them if you don't think it's an improvement and we can instead discuss the issues here.

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:

   You're definetely the expert on this series, but I still have to ask, are you sure you can't find more reviews for this game? Considering it was more commercially successull than its predecessor I'm confused to see it has less critical reviews.

   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 until issues are addressed. Freikorp (talk) 11:28, 16 April 2018 (UTC)

   I've fixed the issues you raised. And your CE edits are improvements rather than anything, so thank you. I also picked up some repetition you missed. As to additional sources for reviews... Yeah, that's all I found. In terms of its critical reception, it's the worst covered of all the Sakura Wars games. Heck, it's the worst covered game full stop. I had trouble finding enough to put this article together. It was a nightmare sourcing it all. Given when it was released, I'm not surprised it was ignored by the press. --ProtoDrake (talk) 12:11, 16 April 2018 (UTC)

   Looks great, passing now. Well done. :) Freikorp (talk) 03:13, 17 April 2018 (UTC)
