Reception

The second paragraph mentions the reception but does not specify any sources. This should be looked into. Mordecairule 13:26, 2 August 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mordecairule (talk • contribs)

Leads don't have sources, they're summaries of the rest of the article. Read on to find the sources. --Pres N 17:31, 2 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

GA Review

This review is transcluded from Talk:Music of Nier/GA2. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Reviewer: Wizardman (talk • contribs • count) 17:57, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'll review this article shortly. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 17:57, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Here are the issues I found:

Keiichi Okabe could be linked if desired; not sure if there's enough on him or not for an article though so I'll leave that to your judgment.

I suppose if he composed the music for a big-name game then he deserves a link. --Pres N 05:46, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"reaching a maximum position of 24 for the original soundtrack and 59 for the arranged album." not sure if 'maximum position' is the best ranking for language. Maybe just "reaching number 24.." or something like that.

Done. --Pres N 05:46, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"studio MoNACA," you have the capitalization different in the usages throughout the article; keep them consistent.

Fixed to always be "Monaca". --Pres N 05:46, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"directed by Keiichi Okabe and including Kakeru Ishihama and Keigo Hoashi, and Takafumi Nishimura from Cavia, the game's developer." all the ands in this sentence are throwing me off. Maybe just make "It was also directed by Takafumi..." its own sentence.

Done. --Pres N 05:46, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'll put the article on hold and pass when the issues are fixed. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 04:09, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Addressed the above concerns. --Pres N 05:46, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Everything looks good now, so I'll pass the article. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 18:51, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Should the music from Automata be included in this article?

I wanted to ask before including that game's releases here and getting them deleted by other users since that has happened to me before. What's everyone's opinion? Jotamide (talk) 16:10, 20 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, why shouldn't it if enough articles were written on it? If you were asking more if we should have them as two separate articles, just look at the Music of Kingdom Hearts article. ~ Dissident93 ^(talk) 16:25, 20 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
By "here", I assume you mean at the Automata article, since it doesn't look like anyone's tried to add Automata albums to this article at all. Anyways, yes, I think it would make sense to add the Automata OST here. It's generally discouraged to have music articles for a single OST album, so "Music of Nier: Automata" would be a bad idea unless it gets as many releases as the original has, but it can always be spun out if that happens. Looks like there's reviews up at allmusic and VGMO, so you should be good to go- just make the sections Nier (original soundtrack - Arrange tracks - Echo - Piano - Jazz - Music video) and Automata (original soundtrack), and fill in the new section accordingly. --Pres N 16:32, 20 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

And yes, as Dissidnt93 mentioned it's fairly standard to have music from multiple games in a series together if they can't support their own articles- Music of the Final Fantasy VII series, Music of the Chocobo series, Music of the Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles series, Music of the Final Fantasy Tactics series, etc. --Pres N 16:34, 20 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I meant for this specific article, as they should only be split into separate articles if readability becomes an issue, which isn't the case currently. ~ Dissident93 ^(talk) 19:53, 20 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I don't really see much reason not to include the Nier: Automata soundtrack on this article. Obviously, it's another installment of music from the same spin-off series (hence the title of this article), and creating another article for it would be a bit of a waste. It depends on how notable N:A's soundtrack is and, judging from what people have been saying, that seems to be the case. (If my two cents leaves something to be desired, feel free to tell me.) —017Bluefield (talk) 04:23, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Jotamide: I've made an actual section for Automata, starting off with your text and some bits from the RPGFan review; feel free to add more. Though, do you have a source for the sales numbers? You sourced it to the Oricon listing for the release week, but unless I'm missing something it doesn't say anywhere that it sold 34,655 copies; where did that number come from? --Pres N 20:27, 25 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
