Bonus 29? Yes please.

How much does alignment affect? I'm planning on making four neutral, with one good and one evil party member.

And what would be the best choice for my main character? (Human male fighter?)

That won't work, IIRC. Evil and Good can't be in the same party.


And I made a HMF, so I'd say yes.

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

Wait wait wait. Bonus stat points at character creation?

How do you pull that off? I'm only five minutes in so I'll go ahead and re-roll.

Yep. Re-roll like crazy.

 

[tearsofash]

I haven't played Wizardry since...well over two decades.

Definitely gonna give this a shot.

Oops, I meant what alignment is best?

Ah, Fighter or Samurai?!?!?

 

[DiscoJer]

Now I have to think of five sweet names... This is gonna take awhile.

Cheat. Name Mage is a great (and free) program for generating fantasy names

Good! Be a Knight!
(May not be possible.)

 

[disappeared]

Demo saves will be transferrable to the main game right? I wanna get my party maxed to level 5 then go ahead with the $15.

edit: I forgot to roll a goddamned Thief!

 

[Hours Left]

Good! Be a Knight!
(May not be possible.)

I made him neutral...

I'm already overwhelmed! XD

 

[Dreamwriter]

I know this was a quick and dirty topic due to the surprise release, but it's missing something vital - at least one screenshot of actual gameplay! Maybe even a video of gameplay rather than intro.

 

[cj_iwakura]

Word of advice:

Spoiler

Do not go into the dungeon without buying a map from Ironhand.

Otherwise you'll regret it.

That would actually turn people away (unfairly).

Lack of anything showing gameplay is turning *me* away - I've played many franchises brought back from olden times, only to find they've completely changed the genre, just really using the old franchise for its name and instant audience. Without even having a trailer to view, I have to actually download the demo, where normally this is something I'd buy without thinking.

Yep.

I noticed something weird, I walked in a straight line for a while down a corridor until I realized that it loops. I thought it was going on forever for a while there!

OP is updated with screens. There is no trailer as of yet.

Names can only be 6 characters long? Bleh.

Ew, really? That stiiiiiiiinks.

Bonus 29? Yes please.

I've rolled 40.

 

[Hours Left]

I've rolled 40.

How long did it take you?

N/M, just got it.

Now should I change his alignment to good on my (3rd) restart? XD

 

[Bento]

YES! FUCK YES! SWEET XSEED TAKE MY MONEY!

 

[darkwing]

wait, do the save games from the demo carry to the full game? don't want to waste those roll 40s

 

[cj_iwakura]

Yes.

 

[Hours Left]

Can you roll 40s for characters you make at the guild? I've yet to see anything over 20.

 

[xelios]

Can you roll 40s for characters you make at the guild? I've yet to see anything over 20.

Yes. I just got 47... lol

It's very rare though apparently. But the min/maxer in me doesn't care.

 

[Hours Left]

Yes. I just got 47... lol

It's very rare though apparently.

Are you playing the demo or the full game?

 

[xelios]

Are you playing the demo or the full game?

Full game. I've only gotten 40 once and 47 (edit: twice now) once in maybe an hour of rolling? Couple of 30s.

 

[Hours Left]

Full game. I've only gotten 40 once and 47 once in maybe an hour of rolling? Couple of 30s.

Uh, wow.

It was really easy to get a 40 for my main, but I've still yet to see anything over 20 for guild created characters. I'm hoping they didn't nerf the rolls in the demo version.

Edit: I just got a 30. What to do...

 

[Augemitbutter]

i'm already rolling like crazy. haven't gotten anything over 30 so far.

 

[Hours Left]

47!

 

[slaughterking]

Wow, this comes completely out of nowhere for me. Didn't know Xseed brought this over. :0

Will totally buy.

 

[Augemitbutter]

so can anybody tell me more about PIE?

 

[Professor Beef]

[disappeared]

I had to look that up too. It stands for Piety. It's an important stat for Priests.

 

[xelios]

so can anybody tell me more about PIE?

It's like WIS, so for priests/bishops, possibly lords.

Anyone know

Spoiler

if there are NPCs that join your party, and if so do you need one of your 6 slots free

?

 

[Augemitbutter]

thanks guys.

 

[Durante]

For some reason I couldn't resist getting this. Nostalgia is a scary thing.

so can anybody tell me more about PIE?

[xelios]

If anyone is wondering about requirements for being various classes, I found this which seems to be correct:

Spoiler

Warrior 12 STR
Mage 12 INT
Priest 12 PIE, alignment evil or good
Thief 10 AGI 12 LUC, alignment evil or neutral
Bishop 13 INT 13 PIE, alignment evil or good
Samurai 15 STR 11 INT 10 PIE 14 VIT 10 AGI 9 LUC, alignment neutral or good
Lord 15 STR 12 INT 12 PIE 15 VIT 14 AGI 15 LUC, alignment good
Ninja all stats 15, alignment evil

Imagine a party of 6 ninja.

 

[xelios]

Imagine a party of 6 ninja.

5 ninja + bishop = profit!

I'm gonna go with Bishop, Samurai, Lord, Thief, Ninja + ? first just to get a feel for the various classes.

 

[Augemitbutter]

no chance for different color palettes? couldn't find anything.

also it said growth fruit at the char. creation. i assume this is some kind of DLC?

 

[Moobabe]

Is this anything like Etryian Odyssey? Considering this

 

[vall03]

I have a question about the demo, what if I purchase the game afterwards? Do I just activate it? It seems that the full game and the demo both have around 400+mb, hope that I dont have to re-download the full game...

 

[Augemitbutter]

you download the demo and unlock via key, no need to re-download.

 

[Teknoman]

Sure, minus Yuzo Koshiro music. Looks a little darker of course. If you like Etrian or any first person dungeon crawler, this should be up your alley.

Is it in anything similar to Phantasy Star I or a bit better looking (doesn't look like a Windows Maze Screensaver)?

whew, thanks, I actually dont have credits on my account right now, will buy tomorrow

 

[Hours Left]

My eyes are bleeding, I'm gonna roll the rest of my characters tomorrow.

 

[Lyonaz]

So fucking bought when i can access the damn store

 

[Risk Breaker]

So hmmm, I assume this isn't being released in EU?

 

[disappeared]

I was a little curious as to why they didn't just mute out the Japanese voice overs by default. Anyway, set the Voice level to 0%.
