https://45th.wizardry.info/So, what is going to be?
>>740214896merch
>>740214896Wizardry Gaiden 5
>>740214896NTRge.
Why were the japs so obsessed with Wizardry?The series is atrocious.
>>740214985>Wizardry Gaiden 5it's been 26 years since it released
>>740215021>The series is atrocious.filtered
>>740214896Remake of 2 and 3 as DLC for the recent remake would be nice.
>>740215139this is drecom, not atari. not happening.
>>740214896Wizardry: Variants Daphne Offline
>>740215232They'd have to finish the game first for that.
>>740214896looks like "wizardry"
>>740215069If it doesn't have the roman numeral, it isn't the real 5.
>>740215232I would pay for itDaphne was fun for a bit but I hate gacha
i cant wait for drecom to announce another gachaslop instead of an actual wizardry game
>>740214896>bait nostalgia by using the NES font that has nothing to do with WizardryIt's gonna be shit.
>>740214896Some tranny garbage like Daphne probably
>>740214896mobile game 2.0
>believing they're going to announce a game that'll compete with Daphne lmao. it's either going to be merch or something relating to blade & bastard
>>740215320>full game is abyss 1>sell later abysses as 'expansions'
>>740215909Big countdown to reveal Bibi's Summer alt. Believe it.
>>740214896>he uses brave
>>740215592The 4 main dungeons of Daphne are actually very good.
I'm edging here.If it's just to announce the manga of Wizardry Variant Daphne I'm going to be pissed.I'll read it anyway, I love the universe
>>740216802>the manga of Wizardry Variant Daphnealready released. they need to get off their lazy ass and translate it into english already.
>>740214896i'd buy a new wiz gamebut only if no automap
>>740215021what complete and utter shit taste you have
>>740215021Wizardry and Ultima basically introduced the concept of RPGs to the nip audienceDragon Quest and Final Fantasy wouldn't exist without them
>>740217187>buy wizardry game>devs deliver a box of graph paper to your home
>>740214896For a monochrome title graphic it looks very cool.Any other examples like that?
>10 mins left until disappointment i'm not ready
I'm going to bed. Wake me up in 7 hours if it's something cool. If not, let me keep sleeping.
Just give me the batshit insane technomagic shit like wizardry 8 and might and magic .
Bring on the acrylic stands and wall scrolls.
>>740218489mismatched art styles, I love it
>>740218327the logo is almost 50 years old, timeless
>>740215909Daphne is competing with gacha trash, not dungeon crawlers. They have completely different audiences.
inb4 Wizardry 9: Kawaii Uguu
Watch it be souless gatcha shit.
>>74021859220$ on that
umwas something supposed to happen
didn't expect that one
>countdown ends>nothing happenswhew
awkward...
>>740218489FUCK YOU
>it's merchLMAO
a fucking WATER BOTTLE
is the website layout broken just for me?
>>740214896Wizardry is such dogshit in comparison to Ultima
>literally nothingwell that was a complete waste of everybody's time
>>740218712Garbage spotted.
here's what you've been waiting for https://youtu.be/Wji8DSBJ6VY
>Now, more than ever, you can buy our product!I'm going to bed.
i only played the first trilogy on SNES. did this series turn into gacha characters?
>>740218780I might have considered it if it was SIEG instead of SIGG.
So it's an interview... some cups... and ... endless AI looking fucking keychains. I haven't seen a webpage designed this aesthetically poorly in a fucking decade.
So now that we're all here, what the actual fuck were they thinking with this game? I mean I'm kind of impressed in a weird way, but seriously, what the fuck?
HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Oh wow I feel stupid making the thread.A water bottle? Acrylic stands?I'm going to seppuku myself.
It's exactly as I expected and I'm still mad about it.
>>740218902
>>740218859A massive disappointment after Return of the Kcam
>>740218902>Fetching a crummy bottle of water? They should have been fetching Etrian Odyssey lolis!
the 45th anniversary isn't until Sept 15th. there's still hope for an actual game announcement
>>740219079I can't wait for the fidget spinners to drop in 3 months
>>740219079When was the last game that was considered better than just decent? Wizardry 8? That's a gap of 25 years. There's about the same amount of time between Jimmy fucking Carter being elected president, and the game releasing in 2001 that there is between the game releasing and now. I appreciate your optimism if you're genuine, but fuck.
>>7402192212023
>>740219079suuuure anon haha
>>74021907945th? Damn that's old.
>>740214896It was gacha, right?
>>740219221We will see mega-corporations picking dead corpses like these in 50 years. They can't produce anything of worth anymore so they go and desecrate graves
>>740219339worse.. merch
>>740219369>acryl plastic trashWow that's so japanese company.
>>740219369who the fuck buys this anyway? it has to be some contract obligation or something like that right?
>>740214896No fromsoft no buy
>>740218795Gacha is the best thing that ever happened to Wizardry. The shittiest part of the series is you get a bunch of faceless mooks instead of actual characters.
>>740219470I wish they hadn't been gay fags and added kernel level anticheat to the game a few months back. I was going to check it out when I heard they added the option to switch to jp voices, but that was the patch they added the anticheat so it stopped working on linux, and I've just not bothered playing on my phone
>>740219527LMAOOOOOOO gnu+troonix spergs
>japsNothing good
>>740219527Maybe you can still play on a mobile emulator like Bluestacks, but honestly it's not worth the continuous grind.
>>740219619>gave us sexo cat girlswrong
>>740219673>Wizardry is about giving us cat girls btwgrim
>>740219470Wizardry 6 and beyond had giga soul portraits, what are you talking about. And everyone always raves about 40 or so distinct personalities for your party in 8.Older games are just that, old and had limitations of their era.But I agree that Daphne has nice characters, we just need a non-gacha version.
Another demake?
>>740219732it's literally nothing
>>740218489>>740215909Is it better for shit like this to be predictable but boring, or unpredictable but exciting? I guess I would at least feel something if it was a surprise.
>>740219815something boring like this didn't deserve a multi day long counter. this is the sort of thing they should just throw out into the world and post on twitter. it should always be unexpected and exciting
>>740219881It was a countdown to a countdown which was fucking retarded>We are officially kicking off the countdown to Wizardry's massive 45th anniversary milestone! To celebrate this incredible moment with our amazing community around the globe and to shape the future of the labyrinth together, our Special 45th Anniversary Site has officially gone live today.
>>740219638>grindWhat grind? I beat the game (the four dungeons currently released) and never grinded once.
>>740219881Fair, exciting wasn't the right word, as it's usually used in a positive sense. I meant it more as provocative, like pic related. Is it better to have status quo blandness that will last for years, or a kick in the head?
>>740219732no it was for a water bottle and other assorted merchandise
Guys I pre-ordered the water bottle, I'm having a blast!
>>740220329Pre-ordered the Ainikki acrylic stand so i can hot glue it. so excited!
>>740214896why japan steal wizardry from western world?
>>740220591Westerners didn't want it anymore.
>>740220591Japs cared about it much more than the west did, so they got the OG dev's approval to make a whole fuckton of semi-official Wizardry games.
>>740220591The west favored Ultima while Japan favored Wizardry.One of the creators of Wizardry, Robert Woodhead, is also a weeb (married a nip, founded AnimEigo which distributed anime, samurai films and Japanese cinema).
they're going to announce something on the 11th
>>740220591westoids turned it into a gay star trek pastiche with hoverbikes and mobster rats, so good riddance let the japs have it
>>740222462>so good riddance let the japs have itUh huh>>740219619
>>740222560uh huh
>>740222560Nothing wrong with those>>740222614Nothing wrong with this either, an average bri'ish maiden
>>740222560is that supposed to be a bad thing?
>>740222803>Nothing wrong with thoselmao
>>740214896Pure kino Wizardry-daphne won btw
>>740223294They're just anime characters. Are you afraid of eastern cartoons or something?
Ah fuck this. Anyone have a prepatched translated Dungeon Master Nexus rom?
>>740223398>They're just anime characters.Sounds like a problem.
>>740224053post a single western design that tops anything designed by the japanese
>>740224146Where do you think those Japanese designs take their inspiration from, retard?
>>740214896hoping for a new gacha (that's also generous, can be played completely free without touching the gacha ever)
>>740224314>proceeds to post art that has nothing to do with wizardryretard
>>740224427>D&D not related to WizardryLMAO Holy shit fuck off you secondary.
>>740224502you cant provide a single good design from the western wizardry titles after all that bitching and crying, so now you're restoring to being a goalpost moving faggot. kill yourself nigger.
>>740219638Bluestacks reports to china every few moments
Ultima was better.
>>740214896>When a western game becomes so popular in Japan that it's the Japanese that keep it alive>Wizardry was around for decades at this point and still kickingBTW, I need to go and watch the anime OVA. It's somewhere on YouTube.
>>740225498You should. Sadly, they've removed the original upload at some point, but there's a version with some watermark.I've managed to recover it from the archive, probably should upload it somewhere after all this time.
>>740224427>>740224741Concession accepted. Thanks for playing, troon.
>>740224314>>740224502That specific image has notning to do with Wizardry.
>>740225759The illiterate retard you’re defending never asked for a Wizardry image. He just made a blanket “post any western art comparable to Japanese art” like an AGP weeb and then got pissy when someone proved him wrong. This is why you ESL thirdies need to learn to communicate better.
>>740215021Got to agree with this anon. I like dungeon crawler but it's the same shitty classes with the same shitty skills for like 40 years. You would think that they have like 100+ classes with an insane amount of freedom and nice gameplay gimmicks but nope. Same old shit again and again and again and again.
>>740226202the games introduce new stuff each entry and to be fair the appeal of dungeon crawlers is making the maps and exploring while solving puzzles more than combat. it's no final fantasy or dragon quest obviously. if you want 100+ classes with an insane amount of freedom you're looking at roguelikes like nethack or dungeon crawl stone soup
>>740225918That's true, i misread his post, i apologize.However i do think your disregard of something just because it's anime to be small-minded and similar to how people in the early 2000s acted when faced with anything oriental that wasn't DBZ.
>>740226389I dont like roguelikes. I like dungeon crawlers.
>>740226810ok
Oh man please be something related to a new game that permadeath MMO one was so fucking kino throwing rotten veggies at player killers and people who wait at the entrance to dungeons
>>740226921It's the same shit. Again and again and again. Whats the next feature gonna be? A 'heal all' button. Well worth the 40 year wait.
>>740227109ok i didn't say anything man actually i agree loli stick to the classics and i have a huge backlog of crpg's and crawlers still so i'm good
>>740220329a Baja Blast?
>>740227003false, merch upon ye
>>740226202>>740227109The asians did get bored of it too. They added more stuff in later spinoff series like Gaiden, Empire, Xth or Busin or Daphne, and more so with clones like Elminage and Etrian Odyssey.
>>740227003what game is that?
>>740229253>XthPlayed Operation Abyss( remaster of the first two Xth games) from start to finishI liked it, but holy shit it might just be one of the most mindless Wizardry-likes out there.
>>740226202>>740215021The last game was Wizardry 8 and did a lot of different things though.Most RPGs nowadays lack the depth/mechanics of old RPGs anyways. Unless you're talking about combat maybe.The OG IV is probably the most difficult game that's not a kusoge
>>740225579It's already there actually, so I don't have to do anythinghttps://archive.org/details/wizardry-1-ova
>>740219815I think an actual good game would be the best>>740220591Because the company died with 8 or something like that and somebody bought the copyright? I dunnoI know how Ultima died (EA for some reason sued Origin when they were struggling, so they could buy up the company and then EA did what EA does)
>>740222339a new water bottle design hopefully

>>740229319Old ass game called Wizadry Online, got shut down and the private servers keep getting sued into oblivion but man it was so fucking cool. You had to roll stats at the character creation screen and theyll be so random youd be there for hours and when it finally rolled a good card you accidently hit reroll againYou could go kill any NPC including tutorial NPCs so you'd see newbs waiting for them to respawn and get to throw eggs and shit at the captured NPC killers wasting your timeShit was so fucking hardcore your whole character and gear were gone on death and the game was unforgiving as FUCK ontop of watching around every corner for a rogue lying in wait. The gear was absolute dogshit but it was so kino because everyone had it and if you had some cool armor you'd be targetted like fuck by player killing groups. Check out clips of Wizadry Online if you're curious it's got a Ashes of creation grimdark vibe. Good fuckin times
>>740230785I played that game a bit back in the days.
>>740225579>>740230284holy this is so fucking cool. are there any other dungeon crawler themed OVAs or media like this one? closest thing i know is dungeon meshi
>>740230226This image makes me wanna wrestle for some reason.
>>740231714Hey buddy, I think you've got the wrong door, the wrestling club's two blocks down.
>>740233009Fuck you~
>>740219221Daphne is an okay game, would've been fantastic if not for jewish gacha mechanics making magic dogshit for f2p.
>>740231714Hey buddy, the fighting game thread is 5 pages down
