Initial comments

• "She also appeared in the prequel manga Drag-on Dragoon 3: Utahime Five" - Is this not an article? Surprising
• "she sets out to kill her "sisters", clones spawned by the flower to carry out its mission" - not grammatically clear. Sounds like the "sisters" and "clones" are too different beings.
• The lead summarises the article well, so this should pass.
• "His original design was meant to emulate her status as a god-like being and be similar to traditional video game protagonists" - how was this achieved? What is the "norm" for most video game protagonists?
• In the reception section, is there any information on how this character was received outside of Japan (ie. Western audiences)?
• "RPGamer's Michael A. Cunningham" - best remove the initial A. from his name
• "RPGFan's Derek Heemsbergen" - should this be italicised?

  I've taken care of all these. As to western reception of the character... I included everything I found. It's the perennial problem of the Drakengard series: not much attention in the west. --ProtoDrake (talk) 21:54, 28 November 2014 (UTC)

References

There are no dead links nor do any appear unreliable per WP:VG/RS. Looks like this meets the criteria.

On hold

A short review I know, but this is generally a well written article with very few issues. The only issues I found with it were a few minor prose issues which could be clarified, otherwise the article is looking near enough to be GA material. The references and stability also passes. I'll put this on hold for the standard seven days and if all of those issues have been addressed then this should have no problem passing the GAN. Regards ☠ Jaguar ☠ 20:53, 28 November 2014 (UTC)
