ALT0 is not interesting, and ALT1 is sourced only to twitter. I'm also not sure ALT1 will be that interesting to people without much interest in video game consoles. Could you create some other hook ideas? CMD (talk) 17:25, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
- @Chipmunkdavis: I've added a couple of alternatives. --ProtoDrake (talk) 17:49, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
- ALT3 also relies on specialist interest/knowledge. ALT2 may work. Is there anything direct link in the sources between the game and the world tour cancellation? CMD (talk) 02:23, 15 July 2020 (UTC)`
- @Chipmunkdavis: I've done some research, and found I made a mistake in translation which I've corrected. It wasn't a world tour, but a lottery campaign by Sony where players would be sent to cities around the world chosen due to parallels with one of five game's setting, with the Unlimited Saga destination being Rome. --ProtoDrake (talk) 07:48, 15 July 2020 (UTC)
- Could that be fit into a hook? CMD (talk) 09:02, 15 July 2020 (UTC)
- @Chipmunkdavis: I've added another alternative. It probably needs a rewrite. --ProtoDrake (talk) 09:50, 15 July 2020 (UTC)
- Replace "used in" with "planned for use in", remove "campaign", and replace "North America" with "the United States" and I think it reads well. CMD (talk) 10:34, 15 July 2020 (UTC)
- @Chipmunkdavis: Done. --ProtoDrake (talk) 10:54, 15 July 2020 (UTC)
