: I just started playing ''The Sword of Hope'', and it has so much in common with ''[[Mandragore]]'': same "scenic view" graphics (it is not "first person", because you cannot turn), same interaction with the world through a list of commands (3 instead of 28, because of the obvious difference between the Game Boy and a computer keyboard), same bizarre logic to solve puzzles (take an item and bring it to the "right" spot, whatever the authors were thinking). Also, ''Mandragore'' is a French game, whereas ''The Sword of Hope'' has full of French names (Théo, Pascal, Martel, Camus/Camu, Ricard/Riccar, Hennessy, and so on) [edit: also "Shabow"/Chabeau and "Poliniak"/Polignac].

: ''The Sword of Hope'' is a spiritual sequel to ''Mandragore'' (just with a modern combat system and true experience levels), and the same companies, Kemco & Seika, developed ''Drakkhen 2: Dragon View''. If not part of the series, they are very closely related, and I prefer to avoid "series" of 2. --[[User:Abacos|Abacos]] ([[User talk:Abacos|talk]]) 09:41, 20 January 2022 (UTC)

::Series pages are generally about the series/story continuity, and less about the publisher. [[Drakkhen]] and [[Drakkhen II: Dragon View]] being on separate lines seems counter-intuitive. If those other games aren't part of the series, they shouldn't really be in the template, though they could be mentioned on the series page. -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|talk]]) 00:06, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
:::Edit undone. I also removed ''[[Phalsberg]]'', for the same reason. --[[User:Abacos|Abacos]] ([[User talk:Abacos|talk]]) 12:29, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
