Back again, but instead of with another sci-fi/fantasy award list, it's with my other FLC favorite: increasingly obscure video game-related lists! Here we have a list of Square Enix companion books- covering the holy grails of artwork and article-development-section-source books, the Ultimania series (and it's predecessor, the Perfect Works series). Knew that there was a book for Final Fantasy XII, but not what other games had an Ultimania or three? Now you know, in one big, sortable table. --PresN 19:01, 8 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: Congrats, PresN, for cleaning up that mess of a table I left you back in July 2010. I haven't had a chance to look at it in-depth just yet so a few quick questions first. What happened to The Bouncer Perfect Works? Is it not a real thing? Also, are you not interested in including the older guide books? If not, that's fine, just curious about your reasoning. Finally, why do you use third-level headings instead of second-level headings for the sections? Axem Titanium (talk) 21:34, 8 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- The Bouncer book wasn't real- some editor added it to the DigiCube article back in 2008 and it never went away, and there's no source of any sort that proves it ever existed. I took out the game guide books because frankly, every game ever has them- they're not notable, they're not special, and I didn't feel that a big table of hundreds of them belonged in a list that was trying to focus on a unique set of books that have hundreds of pages of artwork and background information. It's hard to draw the line between game guides with a bit of development info and reference books with some game guide information, but it's easy and non-subjective to just limit it to Ultimanias and Perfect Works. Finally, level-3 headers are there because I forgot to change them back. Now done! --PresN 21:44, 8 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Haha figures. That's how rumors start. It's a shame about the earlier books; some of them look interesting (e.g. FF7 True Script Dissection and FF Complete Works). I guess there's no good way to slice those out with a set of consistent criteria. I'll try to look into just how much dev info/artwork/etc. was in those books, but it's not critical to this FLC. I get the sense that they were at least a bit more notable than any old game guide since they were first-party published. Oh well. Axem Titanium (talk) 22:34, 8 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Support, list is well referenced and the lead is well written. Congrats! Axem Titanium (talk) 14:04, 2 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"written and published by the Square subsidiary DigiCube. DigiCube...". Try not to have this kind of repetition from the end of one sentence to the start of another.The lead image could use alt text.All caps in ref 10 need removal.Giants2008 (Talk) 14:21, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
