Criteria marked are unassessed

• Is Aussie Game Geek a reliable source?
• What about "発売日です" (Emi Nagashima)? (Add a publisher for that, too.)
• Shacknews?
• Inside Games?
• Geimin?
• "One of the running narrative themes for the main series is "Immorality"" - Are these scare quotes? If not, what does "Immorality" mean in this context?
• "The original game world was designed around Celtic and Norse myths, together with Japanese historical revisionism" - Japanese-style revisionism, or revisionism of Japanese history? Also, was it actually revisionist, or satirical of this procedure?
• "For Nier, two versions of the main protagonist were created: the older version of the character was created later in the game's development because the game's publishers felt it would appeal more to western players" - Did both versions appear in the final game à la Sonic Generations or Super Smash Bros. Melee (with Link)? If not, I'd prefer this be phrased as the protagonist simply changing designs, unless both versions were under consideration for the final product simultaneously.
• "The music of the series has become one of its more notable elements." - Says who?

I've dealt with the Immorality quote, the music section, the piece about Nier's protagonist, added a publisher for the Emi Nagashima reference, deleted Aussie Game Geek and done my best with the piece from the Themes and Inspiration section. I checked Shacknews: it is both on the WikiProject Video games/Sources list as reliable, and the only place where that interview with Shiba can be found. Geimin is used on other GA-stasus articles from what I remember, was the only place I could find most of the sales data for the games. The Inside Games reference I took from the article for Nier, where it didn't seem to be raising any flags. --ProtoDrake (talk) 07:30, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

I don't know how I could've missed Shacknews on that list... Anyway, whatever. Let's do this. Tezero (talk) 07:36, 5 July 2014 (UTC)
