7. Overall:

   Pass or Fail:

• Lead

"Kimi ga Iru Kara" should not be italicized

Fixed to use the "Nihongo" template rather than the "Nihongo3" template. Italicized Japanese is, apparently, correct, independent of whether its a title or not.

• Creation and influence

by game producer Yoshinori Kitase because Kitase felt that, given that the team had decided to use an orchestral-based soundtrack, -> this sound awkward

Fixed, I think.

"Autumn 2008" -> Why it has quotation marks?

It's a quote from the liner notes, but it's so short that I don't need the quotes. Fixed.

The score features some orchestral recordings by the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra, orchestrated -> isn't synonyms exist?

Fixed.

• Soundtrack and soundtrack plus

studio album -> did you mean | Type = soundtrack?

Yes, fixed.

• • Soundtrack plus

"The album received lukewarm reviews" -> but only Gann reviewed it, there is no more reviews?

Reworded; yes, there's not a lot of reviewers out there who touch video game soundtrack albums, much less the arranged albums. Square Enix Music Online hasn't reviewed it yet, though I expect one from them soon, so in the meantime I reworded it to not imply that there are more reviews there than just the one.

• Because you're here

Main article: Kimi ga Iru Kara -> The "Main article" says less than the para. The hat note should be removed or maybe "Kimi ga Iru Kara" should be redirected and add the cover to this article, because it fails WP:NSONGS.

Merged/redirected

• Reception and legacy

Aki Kuroda. [19] Music -> Aki Kuroda.[19] Music

Fixed.

Reception and legacy -> Only "Legacy" since the reception is already in the "Soundtrack" section.

Fixed.

• External links

Masashi Hamauzu's Square Enix North America profile -> Spam

Removed.

• Images

File:FinalFantasy13OSTCover.jpg Should be, at least 400px X 400 px

Actually, according to WP:Albums#Cover, fair-use guidelines suggest that no side of an album cover be larger than 300 pixels. – Kerαunoςcopia^◁_galaxies 19:15, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Both images now 300px max on the longest side. --PresN 01:55, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

Minor fixes, not too much work to do, one week on hold. Tbhotch^{Talk C.} 18:46, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Mostly done, the image resizing will have to wait a couple of hours until I can get home; I don't have any image editing software on this machine. --PresN 19:52, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Done with everything you pointed out. --PresN 01:55, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

All my concerns were resolved so I'm passing the article. Tbhotch^{Talk C.} 03:43, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
