Okey dokey, it's pretty close, just some minor issues:

• Images:
  • File:Tales of Symphonia case cover.jpg could use a more detailed fair use rationale.

New rationale given.

• • Likewise, File:Tosbattle.jpg could use a little more specifics in the actual rationale, but I think it's defended well enough to meet WP:NFCC.

Replaced image with new rationale.

Perhaps I wasn't clear, but I meant that while I think the image met WP:NFCC, it needed a stronger rationale for why its purpose was included--for example, that it was a major point of praise from reviewers, etc. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs^(talk) 20:03, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

? Added "Critics praised the real-time battle system for being fast and accessible to players." to the captions. DragonZero (Talk · Contribs) 04:55, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

I meant to the actual image description page/FUR. See File:Halo reach-lnos.png for an example of what I'm talking about in fleshing it out. Anyhow, I've made a tweak or two and I think the prose is at a level commensurate with GA criteria, so I'm passing this. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs^(talk) 15:43, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

• Prose
  • " As with preceding games in the series, the world map can be traversed by foot, on Noishe, " -- I have no idea what Noishe is without clicking away--for this and other specialized terms, try and make it comprehensible without relying on the links (as in the same sentence, you preface "Rheairds" with "flying vehicles".) "Grade" likewise gets thrown out with no explanation so I initially thought it was a character, then a grammar issue, then I figured it was currency. I'd double-check the entire gameplay and plot sections for this issue.

"... on the party's quadrupedal pet Noishe"."... currency known as Grade".

• References are formatted kind of oddly, but are consistent. I spot-checked a few random statements throughout and there weren't factual issues.
