I haven't had the chance to play this entry in the series yet. But plan on, once my Japanese gets better! Rather not play the translation.

Not sure about this, but since the only official title is Zero: Tsukihami no Kamen, would it make more sense to give the article that name? Why are we mentioning an unofficial title at all in this article?

It's what I found when I came here, and it seemed suitable. It appears to be how it's commonly referred to outside Japan. So I decided to leave it as it was, but present its Japanese title in the lead first due to it not releasing outside Japan. Like Valkyria Chronicles III.

Lead

unlink "video game" and "video game console" WP:OLINK
Trim "Nintendo Software Planning & Development" to "Nintendo", leave SPD for the infobox and dev section
received critical acclaim - seems like a strong phrase given the mixed to positive reviews

All sorted.

Gameplay

Link "sanitorium", maybe I'm dumb but I didn't know what this was
that is rare and difficult to find - redundant, just pick one phrase to use
Shots taken by the Camera...In addition to the Camera...gestures with the Remote - I understand why you capitalized camera and remote here, but unless you use the full name Camera Obscure or Wii Remote, I think it should be lower case. Looks odd otherwise.

All sorted.

Synopsis

Very well written, nice job.

Development

This meant that concerns were raised - Might sound better as "This raised concerns..."
The game's key color was yellow. - This is just thrown in there with no context. Either expand upon it or remove it. Too bad the source doesn't go into it much more. Might sound better like "The color yellow was chosen as a central theme and highlighted in the game's art design"

Sorted.

Release

Its release was apparently timed to - remove "apparently", because it was indeed timed
along with attempting to make the translation as true as possible without going too far - What does "without going too far" even mean? maybe rather say "without being too verbose" or something similar.
able to do that last 20% - "able to do THE last 20%"

Sorted.

Reception

The first paragraph has sales figures and a japanese review, while the second has all West reviews. May want to lead into the second paragraph by saying like "In western reviews" or something like that, or otherwise put the Famitsu review in paragraph two so first paragraph is sales and second is critical reception.
In most other respects was highly positive - "...respects HE was..." or reword somehow because this part sounds weird

Sorted.

External Links

Why IMDB? How about moby games instead?

I didn't put it there, just forgot to remove it. Now removed.

No issues with dead links. Overall extremely well written. This is only my third GA review but best one I've read so far. Most of what I had were minor nitpicks. I'll put this one on-hold until issues are addressed. TarkusAB 00:29, 11 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I've attended to everything you mentioned. Also, I did my best with the translated title. Down in the release section is now a sentence on that subject, with multiple sources for its common names. Out of them, "Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse" appears to be slightly more common. If needs be, I can move the article to include the "IV" numeral, which seems to have also been commonly added. --ProtoDrake (talk) 08:57, 11 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I think that's fine now that we have it written more clearly in the body. Article looks good so I will pass, nice job! TarkusAB 11:53, 11 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
