Hey Zelda fans. Did you know that every iconic piece of Zelda lore was just ripped from Ultima? The triforce symbol, the virtues, the Dark World... all of it came from the far superior western RPG series ULTIMA.

>>746029468Looks jewish
>>746029468everything from all games were ripped from ultima
>>746029468Nobody has given a shit about Ultima for like three decades. Go back to sleep old man.
Does Ultima have anything original in it?
>>746029468Too bad Garriott became a useless grifter after selling out the series to EA, who forced Origin to kill it off by making the absolute dogshit games that were Pagan and Ascension, just so they could make more $$$ off of UO.
>>746032867Orange was pretty new at the time since some computers couldn't display it
Why do I seldom ever see Ultima brought up without the mention of a Japanese franchise that was supposedly inspired by it? Is it because it’s archaic jank?
>>746029468I connect it alll to not just Gnostic / Kabbalistic shit, the usual esoteric mysticism shit, but also that it all boils down to Alchemy and Enoch being the same guy that brought and passed divination to every culture, global scale, reaching down even Eastern Oriental like Daoism and Shintoism... and /v/ called my schizo and shit.
>>746029468Shill me Ultima. Underworld comes up a lot but is it really worth playing in 2026?
>>746029468>The triforce symbol,Hojo clan crest>the virtues, the what>the Dark WorldUltima did not invent the concept of the otherworld/mirror world
>>746032461It's Anglo, so you were close.
>>746033760>is it really worth playing in 2026?Imagine Daggerfall except with somehow even worse controls
>>746033086Yeah, what a shame
>These titles are mostly forgotten in the west except by a select few nerds>In Japan, they're far more beloved. One of the most powerful spells in Final Fantasy is named after Ultima, and JRPGs as a whole are heavily derived from Wizardry. Wizardry continues to have some degree of presence in Japan to this dayWhat went wrong?
>>746034092why don't we live in the Ultima: Skyrim timeline?
>>746033247Japs ripped off numerous times. There were supposed to be more console ports of Ultima but the Japs kept stealing art from Ultima.
>>746035749Electronic Arts. EA fired Garriott after birthing modern MMORPG games into existence. If Origin could have stayed free for longer the 3D games couls have been good.
>>746035749We're stuck in this shitty post-cyberpunk Trump clown timeline instead. Richard Garriot selling out to EA was what wrecked our reality.
honestly, what ideas SHOULD games steal from ultima?
>>746029468Miyamoto came up with Zelda while exploring in the woods.
