Perhaps we should use this page to hash out an agreement regarding the controversial MAME/Namco Museum issue.

Druaga Online?

There is supposedly an MMO version of Tower of Druaga in development; If any information about this can be culled from the internet and added to the article, it would be greatly appreciated. Kouban 03:55, 11 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Influence on Miyamoto's "Zelda"?

Should it be mentioned the vocal influence Miyamoto Shigeru has given this game for the secret-shared social network of obscurity vis-a-vis "playground" and "secret"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.210.0.171 (talk) 02:36, 14 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Tales of Destiny Bonus Dungeon

Namco's Tales of Destiny has a bonus dungeon called the Tower of Druaga which replicates the gameplay of the Tower of Druaga. I feel this should be mentioned in this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.132.192.6 (talk) 04:09, 7 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism):
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall:
Pass/Fail:

The Gameplay section says that each floor will have different enemies, does this mean that all 60 floors have an enemy that is unique to them?
- Some floors will introduce new enemy types, but not for every one of them. Rewrote to make it more clear. Namcokid47 (talk) 20:56, 25 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
From what I understand, Nintendo Life is only reliable for certain writers, and the reviewer Marcel van Duyn is a user of its website and not a member of its editorial staff.
- Removed. Namcokid47 (talk) 20:56, 25 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The Dragon Quest source doesn't seem to identify that Nakamura's appreciation for Endou was because of Druaga. Do you have any supplementary information to demonstrate its relevance to this article?
- I thought I saw something where he said it was because of Druaga, but I can't find it anymore. The source also doesn't confirm it, so I removed it. Namcokid47 (talk) 20:56, 25 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Passing the article. Nice job! - Bryn (talk) (contributions) 21:01, 25 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, except one of the images lacks a fair use rationale, which is an easy fix. - Bryn (talk) (contributions) 21:02, 25 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Influence on FSN

It was hinted in the Side Material book that Tower of Druaga was the influence of Gilgamesh's design in FSN. "Also, during the design stage, I selfishly insisted that 'Gil absolutely has to wear full golden plate armor'. Why, you ask? Well, it might be because I was repeatedly challenging a certain 60 story tower at the time..." Stated by Nasu on page 59. It belongs on the main Tower of Druaga page, end of story --Tailikku (talk) 17:21, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This proves nothing. Nobody outside of fans of this obscure anime series are gonna care about some trival mention like this. It doesn't add anything to the article, the source is vague and I can't verify it, and it doesn't belong here. Stop edit warring. Namcokid 47 ^(Contribs) 17:29, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
