Wizardry VII: Gadeia No Houshu (PlayStation) (1995) (Soliton)

This channel's collection of Wizardry 7 videos wouldn't be complete without including this rare Japanese-only Playstation 1 remake of Sir-Tech's acclaimed CRPG, which uses a new and fully three-dimensional game engine. As with many - though by no means all - of the surprisingly numerous Wizardry remakes created in that exotic land of the rising sun, this version was sadly never translated into English.

I apologize for the lack of sound in this video. My old gaming computer has finally given up the ghost and my crappy laptop doesn't have sound recording capabilities at all (except for DOSBox).

I have this and the Sega Saturn one, downloaded from Underground Gamer back in the day.

The transhack community doesn't have much interest in Wizardry. Other then the SNES collection being translated, there isn't much else going for it.

shame too, because Wizardry is still going strong in Japan. When my new PC is back online again, I plan to do Wizardry Forsaken Land videos on the PS2 Emulator.

I look forward to those Forsaken Land videos. I recently ordered a modded PS2 online and Wizardry FL is definitely one of the games I'm most interested in playing on it.

@Demiath you do know that there was a limited US and EU release of forsaken lands, the gamestop near me once had a used copy for $80

[Demiath]

@BillyCauseyjr Sure, I've seen the game listed on many online shops (as "sold out", naturally) and remember reading GameSpot's review back when it was released here. The title "Tale of the Forsaken Land" itself is of course the Western name for the game from when it was released here...

I actually was hoping that someone would make a translation patch for this game, I came across it while looking for some Wizardry titles.

[Demiath]

Yes, I guess it's not very likely that it will ever happen, but a translation patch would be really cool. I'd also be happy if someone took the time to finish the fan translation for the great-looking SNES version of Wizardry 6...

This is one of the worst "wizardry" game in Japan!!

[joewhittles]

I couldnt help but laugh at the Japanified character portraits.

[Demiath]

No problem. I don't like uploading videos without sound (future videos will be focused on DOSBox-compatible titles) but I felt I had to make an exception for this rare game.
