message: There was a Wizardry title on the SNES that isn't listed,
"Wizardry 1-2-3 ~The Story of Llylgamyn~"
I'm not sure of the year, but I know with 100% certainty this title exists. In fact, gamefaqs.com(before they went poop) had a walkthrough of the for the game up. but(since they went poop), the walkthrough, and mention of it's name is no longer found there.
And just because Gamefaqs doesn't list it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Just ask Aeon Genesis.
:This page lists at least two Wizardry titles for the SNES.  Edit to include if you like (and sign your posts next time). :-) — Frecklefoot | Talk 15:28, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Indeed, this game exists, as I'm playing it right now! :)  Strangely, however, for the SNES only (as far as I can tell), Wizardry 2 is Legacy of Llylgamyn and Wizardry 3 is Knight of Diamonds.  Does anybody have any information on the reasoning behind this strange switcheroo?  If so, please add it to the main page! --Rob (talk) 05:53, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't have a source handy, but for the Famicom Wizardry ports (which the SNES trilogy was based on) Legacy of Llygamyn (I believe it was titled Wizardy II: The Third Scenario) was released prior to Knight of Diamonds (Wizardry III: The Second Scenario).  It was rather odd that they did that, but I think the Super Famicom trilogy was kept that way for consistency.  Sudo edit this page (talk) 06:39, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

message: Apparently I enjoyed Wizardry 8 so much, that I can't seem to go back to playing the gridlike structure of the old Wizardrys. The fact that the DS Wizardry Asterix was gridlike instead of 3d disappointed me. I had heard that a Japanese developer aquired all rights to the game's name, and I'm just a little worried that if Wizardry 9 is developed (if ever) it would not be fully 3d, and would feature random encounters (like most Japanese RPGs are). What does everyone else think? Samx 22:23, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Akalabeth was the first to use first-person perspective drawn dungeons, and was released a year prior to Wizardry. Trying to give this credit to Wizardry is factually incorrect. You can bet from the time Akalabeth was released to Wizardry's release that the creators had at least known about Akalabeth.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cleverwisdom (talk • contribs) 10:20, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

message: Unless all three games had listed how many days they had been out, and how many they sold at that time period, and how many they all went on to sell, then I don't think its really accurate.  Don't see the point either.  Just list the total that came out, compared to other games released about the same time.  Dream Focus 20:04, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

Of course, we might have to have separate table for Japan and North America. This is just a start. Thoughts? Overkill? — Frεcklεfσσt | Talk 16:52, 30 July 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Table? 

message: An odd question: ThiagoSimoes updated the infobox with the latest version, setting it to WizRogue's release data.  The original series ended with Wizardry 8; WizRogue is a spin off by an unrelated company.  Should WizRogue be considered as part of the series or not in this reguard -- i.e., is the latest release WizRogue or Wizardry 8?  Elminage Original's PC port, arguably just as connected to the Wizardry series as WizRogue, came out more recently, and Demon Gaze 2 is coming soon as well.  Is the infobox capable of handling any more complexity - I.e., a "Latest Official Release, Latest Spinoff Release type setup?  KiTA (talk) 17:23, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Should Spinoffs Be Considered in the "Latest Version" Entry 

message: Call me crazy, but one of the first novels I read was "Wizardry: The League of the Crimson Crescent."  I never played the games and honestly did not know they existed at the time. But I loved that book so much! I do not see any reference for it on this Wiki, and when I look up the book directly it does not mention a connection to the games. It can't be coincidence! 2600:1005:B117:4C96:FDE8:CF30:CA71:30B4 (talk) 02:16, 16 September 2023 (UTC)

thread_title:  Wizardry novel! 

message: This section is a bit confusing; the games were originally released by Sir-Tech in the United States, so why is it phrased like "In 1996, the series received the first (and, so far, only) spin-off developed in North America" (emphasis added)? If it's the first and only spin-off game in general, then fine, it's just a spin-off game. If this is in reference to the fact that the main series has long since ended and the Wizardry franchise is big in Japan (via its own spin-off), then why not mention that? I don't know enough about the Wizardry franchise to rewrite it myself, but I guess that's the point: the way this section is written makes no sense to outsiders. Maybe move that section to after the "Japanese spin-off games" section? — 66.60.148.2 (talk) 23:21, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
