Yup, this meets all the criteria. Nice work. I've done a handful of GA reviews so far, but this is the first time I've been able to give an instant pass - thanks for making my life easy. :)

A few nitpicks:

  • Some sections are a bit overlinked for my taste. (e.g. the links on "patrols", "levels", "warlord").
  • Citation density in the "Plot" and "Gameplay" sections seems a bit high. Lots of sentences with 2 or 3 citations at the end, or mid-sentence citations. Doesn't strike me as content that's likely to be challenged. (On the other hand, props to whoever had the patience to extract direct quotes from in-game to cite throughout the summary.)
  • That is a good point. I am honestly still on the fence about the references in the "Plot" section in particular. Since a full long play of the game was available on YouTube, I thought that I might as well try adding the references there. I was actually inspired by the Tidus article which uses quotes from the video game primary source. I think that a majority of the video game articles, just have a "Plot" section without any citations and have the game as a whole used as a citation so I will definitely think further on that. Thank you for the comment though as it was something on my mind so I am glad I was not overthinking it lol. Aoba47 ( talk) 00:54, 20 March 2019 (UTC) reply

But yeah, it says a lot that those are the worst issues I can identify. Really clean, well-done article. Colin M ( talk) 23:50, 19 March 2019 (UTC) reply
