Hello all, back again with another Square Enix-related list! Here we have the list of Square Enix compilation albums- which is to say, albums of music released by Square Enix which contain songs from multiple video game series, rather than clustered under one like the FL List of Final Fantasy compilation albums. Unlike that list, these albums are presented in a table, as there's not enough reception information for them all to justify blocks of text (much less their own articles). They're not complete throwaways, though; several of them charted on the Japanese Oricon Albums Chart, meaning they sold well enough. Thanks for reviewing! --PresN 22:54, 28 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

;Comments:
  • Ref 1 → |format=PDF
  • All Oricon refs → |language=Japanese
  • When using liner notes as sources (refs 18, 19....) → include release date (or at least year) and catalogue number
  • Perhaps include a section of the table for Japanese chart positions rather than list them in the lead?

  • Format and language added; refs 18-22 already have dates, and the albums didn't have catalogue numbers- they were included for free in issues of Monthly Shōnen Gangan, and weren't given any numbers. I'd rather not stick the Oricon information in the table- there are almost 50 albums listed, and only 10 charted. It's really there just to show the notability of this group of albums, since none of them have an article or are really referenced in other articles. --PresN 16:25, 1 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

:Wow we're getting into obscurity here now.
development and publishing company - should be standardised. What about developing and publishing company or developer and publisher?
Dozens of albums have been produced since, primarily through Square Enix's own record label. - Does a record label produce?
Monster x Dragon - Worth a redlink? This is literally the only video game on the list not linked.
Any more specific dates for the Square Enix Music Compilation series?
Square Enix Composers Best/Selection Black Disk - Why no length?
Any information about the composers / music included? If I'm not mistaken, Nobuo Uematsu did a lot of what's been compiled here, and there are bound to be several other composers or directors who are well represented as well. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 05:45, 5 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yeah, I'm FL'ing it since I'm trying to get all of the WP:SE lists featured, but I'm not sure I would have bothered creating this article if it didn't already exist.
  • Switched to developer and publisher
  • Changed to published
  • I guess so, thought it's a free-to-play browser game.
  • Unfortunately no- I scoured everything I could find, but I couldn't even find a non-RS that would give me so much as a month.
  • No length because the album won't be released for another week and a half
  • Well, that's most of the composers in the company, but I added a bit about which composers are the most represented.

  • Support on prose. No images to check. Good job, Pres. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 22:32, 5 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comments –
  • Can we get an image for the lead?
  • Inline citations for para #1 and the last statement of the 2nd para?
  • In the Lebel column, you've linked some while others are unlinked. Any reason for that?

Zia Khan 16:11, 10 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • I wasn't able to find any free images of the albums, but I'll keep looking.
  • para 1 is a summary of the table below, but added a source for the composers' works.
  • Unlinked labels are those without articles.
--PresN 23:05, 11 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support – Meets the standards. Zia Khan 23:24, 11 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - Another excellent featured list from PresN! One question, is there a cover of an album we could use? One of the compilation albums? Judgesurreal777 (talk) 22:23, 12 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Quick comment – The all caps in refs 40 and 50 (and possibly 43) should be removed. Giants2008 (Talk) 20:09, 13 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Done. --PresN 22:03, 13 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
