Wikipedia:Peer review/Fortress (Square Enix)/archive1

This peer review discussion has been closed.
I've listed this article for peer review because it needs to be PR'd and added to the Final Fantasy XII Good Topic in the next few weeks. There's not much to the article at the moment, but I suppose even short articles can use improvement. Thanks! --PresN 05:58, 13 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Short and sweet. Some comments:

  • Who's Tony Holmsten? The picture's caption mentions his name, but that's it.
  • The external link to another wiki probably isn't necessary.

That's all I've got. An internet search didn't reveal much about the game, so there may not be much more that can conceivably be added at the moment. — Vantine84 (tc) 05:20, 18 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed and fixed, thanks. --PresN 15:40, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

  • No dabs or dead externals, and dates throughout are consistent—expected in a short article, but good.
  • I added alt text to the infobox; check that it matches reality. :)
  • All the "Square Enix"es feel slightly repetitive. Not sure if that's curable, because "Squeenix" is not exactly encyclopedic (lol). Minor anyway.

Finetooth comments: This seems fine as a stub or start-class article. I have only a few minor suggestions about prose and style. You might want to bring the article back to PR for another look after the game comes out and there's more to say about gameplay, setting, characters, music, versions, and critical reception.

Infobox

  • "Concept art made by Tony Holmsten, one of the concept artists for the game" - Delete "made"? Delete the second use of "concept" to avoid repetition? The altered caption would read, "Concept art by Tony Holmsten, one of the artists for the game".

Lead

  • "Fortress is the codename of an unannounced video game currently in development as a spin-off of Square Enix's Final Fantasy series." - Tighten to "Fortress is the codename of a video game being developed as a spin-off of Square Enix's Final Fantasy series"?

Development

  • "Preproduction work for Fortress began in the second half of 2008, outsourced by Square Enix to the Swedish developer GRIN." - Since 2008 wasn't outsourced, perhaps this would be better: "Preproduction work for Fortress began in the second half of 2008 when Square Enix outsourced it to the Swedish developer GRIN."

I hope these few suggestions prove helpful. If so, please consider reviewing another article, especially one from the PR backlog. That is where I found this one. Finetooth (talk) 00:22, 26 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
