Wizardry Wizardry The Prisoners of the Lost City

[Jaesun]

Just curious if any of our fellow prestigious codexers living in an Asian country where one can play this, have actually played it?

Any thoughts? Since this is now getting an American release, the fact it's one of very few turn-based jRPG's coming out I was wondering how it is.

kinda strange to think of Wizardry as a JRPG.

By all accounts, the Wizardry JRPGs are pretty good, belonging to the small school of JRPGs that stayed Wizardry clones when the rest of the genre swiftly tumbled into faggotry. Tales of the Forsaken Land is the best-known, haven't played any of them though.

That's what I keep hearing. There is the jRPG shit you either have to outright ignore or go into fits of rage, but overall the character building and combat are apparently solid stuff. Just curious is this upcoming one is half way decent in those respects.

Can you perchance provide me with a Wizardry The Prisoners of the Lost City full game unlock key?

But what about Europe? Surely it will be released in Europe as well?

It's a shame that games like Sengoku Rance and Wizardry clones stay in nippon while pieces of shit like the last remnant or final turds (xD) are THE jrpgs in the west.

I don't know if I could deal with that anime art style, no matter how good the mechanics of the game were.

Still wish someone would get on localizing the DS Wizardry games. This is lovely but since I doubt the ps3 crowd is really the series' major demographic it seems doomed to disappoint in sales.

So Wizardry-like dungeon crawlers now belong in General Gaming, huh?

That said, if you can't stand the anime art style, I'd recommend Wizardry: Tale of the Forsaken Land for PS2. I've been playing it for the past few days, and it's p. good. There's an LP on Something Awful if you'd like to check it out.

Would you happen to know if this is playable on PCSX2 yet? Last time I checked, it crashed after battles, but was working fine otherwise. Can't find any progress reports anywhere, just the same crash reports from way back.

Platform : PS3

Tales of the Forsaken Land was still broken last time I looked for a solution a few months ago, though my version never directly crashed but screen froze with the music still running.

I'm playing it on PS2, but I've just checked and it seems to work fine on PCSX2 r4389 with the GSdx 3623 0.1.16 video plug-in, at least in the first area of the dungeon. No after-battle crashes or anything. Perhaps it begins to crash/freeze afterwards, not sure about that.

Oh, and I'm using the image you can dowload from demonoid.me. I heard there are corrupted images floating around though, so beware.

Hmm, it seems to be working with the most recent PCSX2 beta version - no crashes or freezes in the first 10 or so battles. Hope it stays that way!
