Release Issues

edit

I've noticed that different games seem to be treated differently with respect to whether versions from all released regions are listed or not. In some cases, a game only published by Enix in one region is listed for all regions it was released in, while other games only list the region where they were published by Enix. For example:

  • Illusion of Gaia (developed by Quintet) lists "Illusion of Gaia" as the title for the NA (North American) region, and "Illusion of Time" for the PAL (Europe, et al) region. The title for the JP (Japanese) region loosely translates to the same (lit. Gaia Illusion Period), however the title "Illusion of Gaia" only has the NA region marker after it, not something like "NA/JP". The date listed is for the JP region, with no mention of release dates for the other regions. Finally, Illusion of Gaia was only published by Enix in Japan, while in the other regions, Nintendo published it, possibly with no mention of Enix at all.
  • In contrast, Paladin's Quest (developed by Copya System) only lists information for its NA release, as it wasn't published by Enix anywhere else. However, it was released in the JP region, published by Asmik Corporation almost a year earlier, as is common with games developed in Japan.

It seems to me that this article needs an additional column or two, possibly eliminating the "Regions" column altogether, expanding the "date" column to three colums, for "JP release", "NA release", and "Int'l release" or something to that effect. I submit that all releases of each game should be included, even releases published by other companies, as long as Enix published the game in at least one of the regions. Obviously, a note would be added, one way or another, about the game in question being published by someone else, in whichever region this was the case. --- K1darkknight (talk) 11:39, 27 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

Additionally, I've found no indication, anywhere, that Phalanx was either developed OR published by Enix, nor any hint that it was ever connected to them, in any way. I left it in place, since I also have no evidence that Enix had absolutely nothing to do with it whatsoever, since apparently someone, at some point, thought they did. Finally, I could find no information about the existence of any game simply titled "Savior". There are a handful of games with the word savior in their titles, but nothing where that word makes up the entire title, and certainly nothing connected with Enix. I left it in place, likewise, since I have no evidence that such a game does not exist, however I highly doubt it. I would recommend removing both these titles, however I feel it would be more appropriate for whomever originally added them to remove them, or at least comment about why they were added in the first place. --- K1darkknight (talk) 14:20, 27 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

I'm not sure that whoever added these games are still around to edit the list. Since it has been 2 years since your mention of the lack of information for these two games, I will remove them. If for no other reason, because they have no citations. Khsater (talk) 02:28, 27 July 2009 (UTC) I have also found no evidence to suggest that Enix had anything to do with the gameReply

Actually, I just found some "information" suggesting that a game by the name of Savior DOES in fact exist. I will attempt to find more information, but I have left the entry in place. I also recalled learning that the game Falancse is just a mistranslated Phalanx. Although it may be just as correct to use the Romaji title. Khsater (talk) 13:29, 27 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Great Hits

edit

Great Hits links to an album by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, and is a greatest hits comp. in Germany. Why is it here? I don't want to remove it outright, since it's been there since this article was created, but I can't see it being of any value to this page. ~Cory —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.251.232.104 (talk) 00:12, 27 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

Source of Confusion

edit

The biggest problem here is that every game listed links to its own article, of which many do not exist for more obscure games. Looking at Enix Corporation's profile on GameFAQs[1] shows several of the games listed here. The Enix developed Phalanx appears to be to be completely unrelated, as it first appeared on the MSX in 1985. Likewise, a game named simply Savior is mentioned for the PC98. Considering the nature of Japanese computer games, it is difficult to find further information on these titles. In any case, the information in this article needs to be corrected, and links fixed or removed for problematic titles like Great Hits, Phalanx etc.24.84.204.220 (talk) 19:14, 2 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

Many Template:Dts/core tabling errors

edit

If anyone is looking to repair the many tabling errors that are currently mangling the layout at this article, you may wish to take a look here first. I don't have the time to tackle this at present, but it does need to be addressed so if someone else is motivated then feel free to beat me to the cleanup. -Thibbs (talk) 00:00, 23 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

Visual novels by enix

edit

Check out Enix profile in the VNDB (visual novel database) i am seeing interesting visual novel games created by enix in 1983 like seiko no adventure, Joshi Ryou panic, Lolita Syndrome, Zarth, up to 1991 Jesus II 77.111.189.83 (talk) 16:28, 24 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

List of Enix home computer games has them- in addition to their commercially developed and published games, Enix started out running contests for computer game hobbyists and then publishing the winners on a straight percentage-commission basis. You can see Seiko's Adventure, Joshiryō Panic, etc. there. --PresN 18:01, 24 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
