Line 22:
* [[Bokukko]]: Thanks to the Japanese voiceover being left in (as the only option no less), we get to hear the female Porklu hero be ''exactly'' this even in the English version.
* [[Bribing Your Way to Victory]]: The game launched with a DLC pack for $5 which extends the intro / tutorial dungeon into a [[Bonus Dungeon]]; justified due to the game having been out for several years in Japan (a second one is incoming that doubles the level cap and adds a smaller [[Playable Epilogue]] dungeon.) Less justifiable (albeit nothing not included in the Japanese Wizardry DLC store) are the "Growth Seeds" which add extra points to character creation, and the "pay real money for in game items" DLC, such as paying $2 for a rare item that drops on floor 9 of the dungeon.
* [[Damn You, Muscle Memory!]]: Your characters are assigned a random number of stat points at creation, from 6 to 47. It's heavily weighted towards lower numbers. Many, ''many'' players over the years have accidentally canceled the screen (rerolling the numbers) right before realizing they had a character with 30, 40 bonus points or more.
* [[Doing It for The Art]]: A PSN only, very low key release, with nary a manual or tutorial to be found, of an RPG series that has been missing from Western stores for 20 years, from a company that's been out of business for 10. Why do something so unlikely to be profitable? Because it's Wizardry, it helped create the Console RPG genre and JRPG genres, and that's all we need to know.
** The fact that porting it to the US is such an unprofitable venture is also why we didn't get it until ''three years'' after the Japanese release, where ''[[Wizardry (Video Game)|Wizardry]]'' is [[Germans Love David Hasselhoff|still a big name]].
Line 31:
* [[Nintendo Hard]]: Taken up to 11, but still not quite as hard as the original Wizardry games from 1981.
* [[Our Dwarves Are All the Same]]: Subverted hard with Pegma and the generic male dwarf, who are the farthest thing from 'short' you can think of, being the tallest characters in the game by a notable margin, with only the human males coming close. Do note the females of the species play this straight, being about half the size of the males.
* [[Shout -Out]]: The female dwarf sounds ''suspiciously'' like she's saying "[[Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni|Nipa~]]" from time to time when attacking with a weapon.
* [[Wiki Rule]]: There's a Japanese wiki [http://pukiwiki.a.la9.jp/WIZ-torawareshi/?FrontPage here], but the US one has not been updated as of yet.
