Summary

[edit]
Media data and Non-free use rationale
Description This image is a screenshot from Final Fantasy VII, a role-playing video game developed and published by Squaresoft. The image portrays the characters Tifa Lockhart (right-front), Barret Wallace (right-middle) and Cloud Strife (right-back) taking part in a basic battle. Source: [1]
Author or
copyright owner 		Square
Source (WP:NFCC#4) My own screenshot in the DuckStation emulator, using the software renderer
Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) Final Fantasy VII
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) This image is a screenshot from Final Fantasy VII, a role-playing video game developed and published by Squaresoft. The image portrays the characters Tifa Lockhart (right-front), Barret Wallace (right-middle) and Cloud Strife (right-back) taking part in a basic battle. Source: [2]
Not replaceable with
free media because (WP:NFCC#1) 		The software or website from which the screenshot is taken is copyrighted and not released under a free license, so creation of a free image is not possible.
Not replaceable with
textual coverage because (WP:NFCC#1) 		*The image is used to demonstrate the game's distinctive art style with relation to battles; this is an important aspect of the game, as navigation from one location to another (the main means of story progression) is interspersed with frequent random encounters and boss battles
  • The image is being used in an informative way and should not detract from the game
  • The image is a small, web-resolution image
  • The image is used to illustrate important characteristics of the game mentioned in the article, which conveys to the reader an idea of what they look like
  • The image's only purpose is to aid in the description of the fictional world of Final Fantasy VII, and for no other purpose
  • The image does not limit Square Enix's ability to sell the game
  • This image is not replaceable because it illustrates an important feature of a late-1990s video game. The historical fact that there were no free RPGs of a similar kind during that time period precludes the use of an image from a similar free game. Further, any image not from Final Fantasy VII would fail to achieve the same encyclopedic role as this File: to illustrate the revolutionary use of 3D that made Final Fantasy VII such a success.
  • This single image of a video game respects commercial opportunities because it is an image of ordinary gameplay; thus, it is unlikely that someone would view this image instead of purchasing the game.
  • This image is used once in the article, alongside several other images, which also illustrate other features that were created during the development of the video role-playing game. Each image represents a different feature and a different game, and thus omitting any one of those images would be detrimental to this article. Thus, History of Eastern role-playing video games uses a minimum of non-free images. Also, only one image from Final Fantasy VII is used, and it is low resolution, meaning that copies of the image will be inferior to the original game.
  • This image comes from Final Fantasy VII, which was published in January 1997.
  • This image is encyclopedic and meets the Wikipedia content standards for images.
  • This image complies with the image use policy.
  • This image is used in History of Eastern role-playing video games; thus, it is not orphaned.
  • This image is used to illustrate the ground-breaking features that made Final Fantasy VII such a critical hit. It increases the reader's understanding on the role of 3D in the history of role-playing video games, and removal of this screenshot would be detrimental to the article's purpose.
  • This image is only used in the article namespace.
  • This image's page lists the source, developer, and publisher, a tag indicating that this image is a screenshot of a non-free video game, and a fair-use rationale has been listed for the two articles in which this image is currently used.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) It's a single frame that should only be necessary to show once on the Final Fantasy VII article.
Respect for
commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2) 		The use of a low resolution screenshot from software or a website will not impact the commercial viability of the software or site.
