Wutai: Difference between revisions

== Tabletop RPG ==

 

** The sourcebook ''Oriental Adventures'' details Asiatic lands further, with their own races, classes, and politics. It even presents ''[[Rokugan]]'' (originally a standalone game) as a D&D setting featuring nothing but this. The trope is played straight if one is playing ''[[Spelljammer]]'' and feels like visiting the ''Rokugan'' world.

** ''[[Forgotten Realms]]'': The original 1st edition of Kara-Tur had Kozakura representing Sengoku/Warring States-era Japan, and Wa representing Tokugawa/Bakufu-era Japan.

* ''[[Guild Wars]]'' The first expansion takes place in Cantha, specifically designed by the game's American producers as a blend of ancient China, Japan, India, Thailand, and virtually everything else from southern and eastern Asia, from landscape to culture to art design, and it works magnificently and believably, given that it's its own distinct section of the world, separated from the conventionally European fantasy realms by a wide ocean.

* The ''[[Katamari Damacy]]'' games. The world is basically one giant Wutai.

* ''[[Magic Knight Rayearth]]'': Fahren. Fuu specifically muses on how it seems to be a combination of Japan and China, much to its princess's irritation.

* ''Mushroom Men'': Shiitake Town . Technically, it's found in the same, [[Where the Hell Is Springfield?|vaguely-located town]] of Meteor Falls as the rest of the game, but it's where the ninja-like Shiitake Warriors live. Oh, and it's made out of [[Mouse World|old sushi boxes.]]

* ''[[SaGa 2]]'' (aka ''[[Final Fantasy]] Legend II''): The Edo plane, complete with a black market in "bananas" in the [[Bowdlerise]]d localization. (In the original Japanese, it's opium.)

** In the [[Fan Translation]] of the DS Release {{spoiler|It's just called black market goods.}}

* ''[[Scott Pilgrim (video game)|Scott Pilgrim Vs The World: The Game]]'': Level 4 (after the part inside the bus).

* ''[[Shadow Hearts|Shadow Hearts: From The New World]]'': [[Lampshaded]] when you visit [[McNinja]] Frank Goldfinger's home town in Brazil and find out that {{spoiler|it's a cheesy Japan-themed amusement park.}}
