It seems that I owe a debt JAGUAR 21:20, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Initial comments

I could be wrong, but I think the bold title in the lead should cover "mobile games in the Ni no Kuni series", as it sounds more relevant. But feel free to ignore as I could be wrong
"It follows the story of Oliver and his friend Mark, and their attempts to construct a car" - might sound better as It follows the story of Oliver and his friend Mark, as they attempt to construct a car or something similar?
"The second title, Ni no Kuni: Daibouken Monsters, is a social card role-playing game" - what is social referring to? Playing with other people or the computer? If so, how about multiplayer?
The plot of the second game isn't explained in the lead
"Since its release, there has been no news regarding the development or release of subsequent chapters" - this could do with a source

A short and sweet article. The references all check out fine, and there were little prose issues to bring up. I'll leave this on hold until they're all dealt with JAGUAR 18:48, 8 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the review, Jaguar! I've tried to address your concerns. The definition of a Japanese mobile social card game can be found here, for clarification. As for the sentence about the lack of news regarding Hotroit Stories: I really want to put a reference here, but there has literally been nothing written about the game since its release. Should the sentence just be removed?

If you have any more concerns, please let me know. Thanks! – Rhain1999 ^{(talk to me)} 20:51, 8 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for addressing them, Rhain! The sentence in the lead should be fine, and also I didn't understand the definition of "social" in Japanese games, so that too should be fine. Anyway, this looks great now, so I'll be promoting this. Well done!

Make the mobile games separate from this page

I think that we should separate some of the games from the mobile page since they each have enough information and sources to warrant their own entries. More importantly, I'm making this discussion specifically for "Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds" since it is not only a mobile game but also a PC game. It's very likely that this game will get console releases just like Genshin Impact did and will continue to grow in the future. Honestly, each one deserves its own Wikipedia entry since they meet the requirements. If no one has any objections then I will go ahead with the move after the discussion is done but I wanted to get everyone's opinions first before making any changes. Let me know what you guys think.

Strongly oppose. Hotroit Stories and Daibouken Monsters most certainly do not have enough information to warrant their own articles; they barely even have enough to justify this article as it is. Cross Worlds also doesn't have enough information at present, and "It's very likely that this game will get console releases" is just WP:CRYSTALBALL. You're more than welcome to work on a draft of a separate Cross Worlds article, but I don't think it can justify a separate article in its current state—and there's absolutely no way the other two games can be split. – Rhain ☔ 23:40, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Article title

"X mobiles games" is an original title as "Ni no Kuni something-something" would be. My suggestion was to use "List of Ni no Kuni mobile games", which still would not be great. The current title goes against title standards, perhaps someone has a better idea here. IgelRM (talk) 07:05, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not aware of any "title standards" that this title actually violates, and it's certainly not the only one to follow this format. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 07:17, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
