Full character info for Yomiel is: The man in red who is assumed to be Sissel throughout most of the game. Ten years before the game began, when he took Lynne hostage whilst escaping from Jowd, he was killed by a shard from an asteroid which gave his spirit ghostly powers and kept his body fresh. His powers of the dead allow him to take control of living creatures as well as objects, as such he is able to manipulate his own body, but he lacks Sissel's ability to go back in time. Depressed by the suicide his fiancée committed shortly after his own death, Yomiel decided to team up with a foreign organisation in order to get revenge on the people who ruined his life, namely Jowd, Lynne and Cabanela.
This is too much of a spoiler so the main article is better off containing less info. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DanimothWiki ( talk • contribs) 23:17, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
You don't know his name when you start the game. Should we remove this from the Gameplay section by putting something like, "You play a recently killed man?" Or something similar?
And for the plot, should we mention that he doesn't start with a name? Again, make him a nameless murdered victim? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Goatlegs ( talk • contribs) 15:55, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
Best wait until Feb 2 (tomorrow) to confirm. [1] . -- MASEM ( t) 14:54, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
The article has an animated GIF showing a cutscene (?) clip, to illustrate that one review praised the game's "buttery smooth animation". Is this really significant enough to pass image usage policy's recommendation that animated GIFs only be used "sparingly"? Perhaps the GIF isn't doing it justice, but to me this doesn't look any different from any well-drawn pixel animation from the last ten years. Many games and films are praised for their animation, but I can't imagine we ever really need to illustrate that to the reader. Am I missing a reason to make an exception here? -- McGeddon ( talk) 16:09, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
Someone should add a section to the page about the game's soundtrack, similar to the section in 999: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors. I don't know if it has an official page in English that can be used as a reference, but in the meantime, there's this page with a tracklist (though it appears to have taken out the formatting of the original) and some publishing info, and this Ghost Trick wiki page which retains the original formatting of the track titles. -- V2Blast ( talk) 06:48, 31 August 2013 (UTC)
...Also, there needs to be an actual link to the Characters in Ghost Trick page other than just in the template. It's not at all obvious that the page exists. Either there should be a very short character list with a "main article" template/link at the top of it, or just a template/link to the page at the top of another section (like "summary").

Should we combine the DS/iOS and PS4/XONE/NS/PC review infoboxes? The HD remaster isn't actually subtitled "Remastered," so I think it makes more sense to consolidate them to clean up the "Reception" section. Other video games with remastered/enhanced versions and only one review infobox include Marvel's Spider-Man, Yakuza 5, Assassin's Creed Rogue, Far Cry 3, DmC: Devil May Cry, Metro: Last Light, etc. — hoopder® 21:34, 10 July 2023 (UTC)

Great, I am always waiting for someone else to pick this up, so that I will not be the main reviewer.

I do have some questions concerning the Metacritic user score and sale figures on Steam. Are they (or could they) ever be reliable? Milky Defer 05:07, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
This is what I have right now, will take a deeper look later today. The Night Watch (talk) 20:16, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
I'm sorry, but I think this article is not ready for GA yet.
Looking at all the problems above, I think the article may need some work outside of a GA review before it can be listed. I suggest looking at a few other video game GAs and taking notes on their styles towards imaging, Reception etc before nominating again. The Night Watch (talk) 20:27, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
I am marking possible solutions like this (#) since I don't want to risk causing reply formatting problems.
File:Knight Ghost Trick.gif seems pretty useful, as it would help a reader visualize the allowed area of Sissel's movement from possessed object to possessed object, as well as Sissel's strength for Tricking objects. It could (1) perhaps be reduced in resolution a bit and maybe (2) be cut so that it ends right after the armor finishes moving.
File:Entering Ghost World Ghost Trick.gif seems to not really be showing much that wasn't already explained in the article text. It could be (3) removed, or (4) replaced with a still image of Sissel "connecting" with the character (the green line to the corpse in Ghost World mode - I don't think there's an actual name for it) to demonstrate how this applies during gameplay. (I'm not really sure about #4, I'm just leaving it here as an idea.)
File:Cabanela dance.gif is a great demonstration of those "exaggerated poses" and that "deliberate choreography and fluid motion", and cutting it short would look strange when it would loop (plus the spotlight at the end would help show the "stage play" element), so the only option I have in mind for this one would be to (5) reduce the resolution.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on this, @ The Night Watch and @ Hoopderscotch. QuietCicada ( talk) 00:09, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
