Names in infobox

I tried adding a few more people to the artists and composers section of the infobox, which was reverted for making it too long. I understand that, but I do think we should discuss who goes there.

Here is the list as it stands now, with my proposed additions in bold and my proposed cuts in strikethrough:

Artists

Eiji Takahashi (1, X, 2, DE, 3) – The art director for XC2, DE, and 3 seems like he should definitely be on here (he was also the lead 3D background modeler for 1 and X but that is less relevant)
Norihiro Takami (1, X) – Art director for 1 and X; should stay
Kunihiko Tanaka (X) – Character designer for X; should stay
Masatsugu Saito (2, 3) – Lead character designer for 2 and 3, bigger role than Nomura for sure
~~Tetsuya Nomura (2)~~ – Only designed a few characters in 2, shouldn't supersede Saito

Composers

ACE (1, 2, 3) – With the footnote: "Musical duo comprised of Tomori Kudo and Hiroyo "CHiCO" Yamanaka". Traditionally how they are credited, saves one space on the list.
Manami Kiyota (1, 2, 3)
~~Tomori Kudo (ACE) (1, 2, 3)~~ – Combine with Yamanaka under ACE, with a footnote displaying their names.
~~Hiroyo "CHiCO" Yamanaka (ACE) (1, 2, 3)~~ – Combine with Kudo under ACE, with a footnote displaying their names.
Kenji Hiramatsu (1, 2, 3)
Yasunori Mitsuda (1, 2, 3)
Yoko Shimomura (1)
Hiroyuki Sawano (X)
Mariam Abounnasr (2, 3) – I understand the idea that we can't list everyone, but if she's not here she would be the only composer not listed, and that's a bit odd. It's only one more name, and if more and more composers work on the series in the future we could reconsider then.

What do you all think? TheHumanIntersect (talk) 15:53, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

For what it’s worth, I definitely think Masatsugu Saito should be on the list considering he is the main character designer for 2 and 3. Tetsuya Nomura, on the other hand, shouldn’t be included as he only designed a handful of characters from 2. He’s just a guest designer. Unsure about Mariam Abounnasr—I’m leaning towards no, but only because she has a minor role in 2 compared to other composers. Personally, I think we should only list people who are credited for multiple games in the series. But at the same time, we should also include people who’ve been credited for two or more Xenoblade games. That being said, I think we should try to strike the right balance between the two, only to avoid making the list too long. For example, Yoko Shimomura and Hiroyuki Sawano should still remain on the list despite being credited for one game each—the reason being that they are the main composers of their game. My two cents. —MomoQca (talk) 16:38, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
