Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow[edit]

Nominating for FA status after a substantial rewrite and acquiring of GA status. I feel that it qualifies under the featured article criteria, and I will endeavor to answer any and all questions, comments, and concerns. Much appreciated, Sephiroth BCR (Converse) 07:42, 3 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • I'm not sure if direct quotes from the game quailify as ref. Buc 17:33, 3 November 2007 (UTC)'[reply]
  • Comment - This is a Japanese game. Could we get a more global scope on the sales and reception? - hahnchen 19:14, 3 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - It looks good, very strong, especially for a Castlevania article. :) Judgesurreal777 17:06, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - I believe it meets all the criteria of a Featured Article. It is well written, comprehensive, and factually accurate. I support it. (Guyinblack25 talk 17:57, 6 November 2007 (UTC))[reply]
  • Support - This article has come a long way since I last made contributions to it. However, personally, I feel the Story section is too long and should be shortened, preferably to get rid of game spoilers. Wolf ODonnell 13:07, 7 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Technically, since Wikipedia isn't censored, spoilers are generally not an issue. Also per WP:SPOIL, the section heading "Story" already implies spoiler details for the story. But I'll see if I can do a little trimming here and there, it probably won't be much though. (Guyinblack25 talk 15:13, 7 November 2007 (UTC))[reply]
  • Oppose julius mode is not unlocked when the player beats the game it is when they loose the game (going to castle's center without the talisman equipped) and get the bad ending that this is opened up. After that point there is still additional play left if one restarts and equips the talisman. I have not read the whole article. I beat this game and want to do a full review, hopefully i'll have time tomorrow. -Ravedave 19:02, 7 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Julius Mode is unlocked when the primary game is completed normally with the talisman. The bad ending simply allows you an alternate method of acquiring it. In any case - the statement still is true, you still complete the game, regardless of what ending you acquire. The nuances aren't relevant.

Whether it is an error or not, I don't feel that this single poit of information should determine whether you support or oppose. Ashnard Talk Contribs 17:23, 8 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've replaced it with Image:19022.jpg. It shows the game's primary character, and emphasizes the point about the anime style that is used for the character designs. Sephiroth BCR (Converse) 21:58, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
