Legend of Galactic Heroes VII

It appears "Legend of Galactic Heroes VII" is a wrong reference. I think it's what is now known as Legend of Galactic Heroes (2008 game)‎. Whoever introduced that game name please, provide links for verification. There may be other links to fix. Almael 16:05, 5 August 2012 (UTC)

Incorrect. Google 銀河英雄伝説VII and research the results, such as the Amazon result or http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/銀河英雄伝説_(ゲーム) . It was the final 銀河英雄伝説 game released by Bothtec and was released in 2004. Iracundus 17:31, 5 August 2012 (UTC)
Actually, that 銀河英雄伝説VII was developed by Microvision under Bothtec as publisher. However, it was abandoned due to breach of licence. Namco Bandai took it up in 2006 with Microvision as developer again. After some UI changing it became Legend of Galactic Heroes (2008 game). Read here wikipedia.jp. Almael 19:54, 5 August 2012 (UTC) Some interview that mentions both 20081205080, some other further reading 20081025002. Almael 21:00, 5 August 2012 (UTC)
Nonetheless it existed as a separate project, a separate title, and a different publisher. It was discontinued after its release due to license issues. Servers went up, then had to be taken down. Thus 銀河英雄伝説VII still stands as a separate entry. Whether or not the 2008 game was based off of it is not relevant to it standing as a separate albeit short lived game of its own.

Oh, i had no idea they were related. I knew of the licensing troubles but that was it.
If it is true that LOGH VII went on to become the BANDAI game, and it looks like it is, then i guess we should do what Wikipedia do given similar situations. The first examples i can think of off the top of my head are Dr Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine and Kirby's Ghost Trap / Kirby's Avalanche, both of which were actually rebranded versions of the game Puyo Puyo. Wikipedia keep a separate article for each of these games — i guess we should do the same? Is that a reasonable comparison?  ♥ kine @ 04:10, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
Well, wikipedia also tends to put articles together wikipedia articles to be merged or even delete huge chunks of an article e.g. Gundam technologies. It seem to depends more on people's view, though. In any case, at least a redirect link should exist if only just for convenience.
I think this wiki also need to get slimmer. A lot of related articles have parts with roughly same text. The parts could be put & linked into one article or template. Also there is a problem of distinction between information from anime and novels. The anime doesn't give vital background information while the anime information tend to change with each shows. The wiki is about anime so we need to separate into subtopics to highlight the source which will effect analysis. Since I did provide a number of those novel background information I take some responsibility. Btw. it's not that apparent to visitors about the wiki's anime centered policy at all.
