Talk:Unlimited Saga

Untitled

I am planning on at least de-stubbing this article, but I really like this game, so some bias will probably slip in. Could someone else check it for NPOV? Thank you! Y0u (Y0ur talk page) (Y0ur contributions) 15:55, July 18, 2005 (UTC)

I utterly despise this game, but what you wrote looks okay to me. Slicing 21:10, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

PEGI Rating Duality?

What is up with the PEGI rating appearing over the description body like that? I tried to edit it out and the only time it appears in the editable body is in the infobox section. Someone mind fixing it? 63.233.15.205 07:00, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

Edited it out. The information iself is gone from the infobox, but it doesn't appear above the article anymore. User:Eluorn 7:52, 08 January 2006

• 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)
