I am nominating this featured article for review because...The media section wasn't written to a prose style, but as a list of each of its games, + the usage of a lot of unreliable/low quality/primary sources (Square Enix and random sources citing the devs' info) instead of secondary sources that exist. The media section was also written in lists instead of prose style. Additionally, the story section was incomplete and has an active tag template that is getting too long. There are plenty of unsourced statements, such as at the Gameplay section. The reception section was mostly written about KH being included in the rankings/listicles, which is trivia and irrelevant to readers. It should be rewritten entirely. What makes NAG and GamingDead reliable? There is also usage of low quality and out of place sources such as Twitter/X. Overall, the article obviously is in bad shape. 🍕BP!🍕 (🔔) 08:31, 12 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Boneless Pizza!, I believe this is your sixth open FAR (after Tasha Yar, Homer Simpson, Hydrogen, Edgar Allan Poe, and Goblin shark); do you have permission from the coords? Thanks, ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 13:47, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, I didn't. I thought the requirements for us to do FAR is to open them once for week only. I apologize about that. Pinging @FAR coordinators: 🍕BP!🍕 (🔔) 17:09, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Fine for this to proceed, but mind the limit in future plz. Nikkimaria (talk) 14:42, 15 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I was one of the main contributors to the article when it passed its FAC in 2007. The assessment above looks pretty accurate; although I'm not sure if this needs to be closed or temporarily on hold for procedural reasons. Pending what the FAR coordinators say, this article should be reviewed and fixed at some point. I'm not sure how much I can help with clean up (looks like it'll be a big task), but I'll see what I can do. Any and all help would be appreciated.

• Move to FARC no progress towards addressing concerns. Z1720 (talk) 00:27, 9 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Issues raised in the review section include structure and sourcing. Nikkimaria (talk) 13:48, 10 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delist. Plot summary tagged as needing attention for over three years. Unsourced statements include "unique", "improvement", "more powerful", and "longest". "Further reading" section should be between References and External links per MOS:LAYOUT. DrKay (talk) 10:10, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Delist concerns remain, and the edits to the article are not addressing the concerns yet. Z1720 (talk) 12:58, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Delist taking a look over this needs some systemic rewrites for modern FA standards. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ^talk 14:07, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Closing note: This removal candidate has been delisted, but there may be a delay in bot processing of the close. Please leave the {{featured article review}} template in place on the talk page until the bot goes through. Nikkimaria (talk) 15:29, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
