    then you are damned, one jap game company bought the IP from the US dev since they stoped making games to it, not taking the MMO on account, the little gimmicks they made in some games was pretty good, the trailer did show a lot of old feels to it, having a anime on it over a western style changes little really, hell sometimes I prefer the anime then the deformed western style of some arts

    I sit here thinking of another run through Wizardry 8. Sadly it looks like the class list was dumbed down.

    Umm I am not an anime fan either- but these are just static images of your party members.

    The actual gameplay had no anime in it.

    So not sure what the big deal is
    Simply put... I do not like Anime in any form.  I'd rather have a root canal then even look at Anime.

    Since these are just static images there is probably a pretty simple way to replace them with non-anime character images

    Wizardry was maybe the first rpg i ever played but there has been 38 years since then,i need to see a LOT of improvement.
    Then hearing these lolli 12 year old girl sounds ,anime this is a big no thanks.

    I have no idea what the last guy is trying to say about limiting learning of other cultures lol.I grew up with likely more multi culturalism than ANYONE in these forums,i don't think i had a friend that was born in Canada,all from Ethiopia,Germany,Russia,Greece,Italian,Dutch,Ukranian man i had influences coming from every angle.My point is that i sure hope he is not trying to pretend that some video game comes remotely close to REAL life cultural experiences.

    To me it looks more like simply using the Wizardry logo and some dungeon game but i do not get the feel for it being a Wizardry game.So is it an y good based on it's own merit,well maybe 38 years ago but not in 2019.

    I wondered if you'd stop by, @Wizardry -- after all, hard to resist seeing your name! :D

    I just wish it had the class list from earlier Wizardry games instead of a much cut down list.  Will miss Bard, Gadgeteer, Ranger, Monk, Valkyrie, Psion, Alchemist, etc  Still it might be worth giving a try someday.

    I used to ignore these games because I did not think they had anything to offer me, specifically due to the older PS 1 one I tried and couldn't help but compare to Wiz7 or 8.

    But in my opinion there are a lot of these types of games coming out of Japan worth checking out for fans of rpg dungeon crawlers. Strangers of Sword City being the best, in my opinion. The two Operation Tokyo Babel whatever games are pretty good too. A lot of people like the Shin Something Something: Strange Journey and the other ones they have, but the whole monster recruiting and merging monsters just doesn't do it for me, but the rest of the systems in that series are really decent with high quality content. There is a more recent Alice in Wonderland type setting game that came to steam not that long ago that was also really high quality with pretty decent systems and more complex-than-standard rpg elements.

    Going off memory, this Wizardry was the one released only in the PS station store and I'm happy I'll at least have a chance to check it out. It seems a little lite for my tastes, but something is better than nothing.

    Anime doesn't do it for me either, but it isn't a deal breaker if the gameplay and systems are there. Personally, what really bothers me about a lot of Anime games is that they seem to overtly sexualize children. Most of the dungeon crawlers with the systems/mechanics I like don't, but that Alice game I mentioned was kind of borderline.

    Have it on my ps3, its fun just like the old wizardry games, not sure i understand all the hate on the character looks, imo just a normal wizardry game.

    More ps2/dreamcast games need to come to pc like the Shadow Hearts series/Xenosaga I and III (Xenosaga II never happened....)/Skies of Arcadia.

    shin megami tensei I think you are thinking, and his spin offs like persona, strange journey and so on, hell there is a lot of games on these, most are pretty good too

    well I guess we will need to wait the games go back to the space again :p

    serious most wizardry after the 8 take in places in the old fantasy setting, like I said in one post before till wizardry 5 the game was like these, 8 classes you are stuck in Llylgamyn running the dungeon, then hit wizardry 6 and then space, that is kinda a jump in tech :p

    I'm surprised it's only coming to PC when it was actually a PS3/Vita game. But it's by Marvelous so i'm getting it on any platform. I love Marvelous' games.

    I just bought a first generation WII with component cables to re-experience Skies of Arcadia Legends. That game and Panzer Dragoon Saga are my favourite RPGs ever.

    And psssst, I actually enjoyed Xenosaga 2 too ;)

    'the only way he could nail it any better is if he used a cross.'

    Kyleran on yours sincerely 


    'But there are many. You can play them entirely solo, and even offline. Also, you are wrong by default.'

    Ikcin in response to yours sincerely debating whether or not single-player offline MMOs exist...



    'This does not apply just to ED but SC or any other game. What they will get is Rebirth/X4, likely prettier but equally underwhelming and pointless. 

    It is incredibly difficult to design some meaningfull leg content that would fit a space ship game - simply because it is not a leg game.

    It is just huge resource waste....'

    xenosaga 2 was crap, too many changes little continuing based on the first, then 3rd hit with had nothing like the previous one but was better then the 2nd one

    and hell no one liked the 2nd, you just are saying this to say you are diferent :p


    but there is one little thing you can do with these games, emulators, hell you could run some of these games even better then original with these nowadays
