Are there any modern iterations?

Strictly speaking, they kept remaking Wiz 5 with animu esthetics and narratives.
Nipponese gamers didn't like the 'grittier' story and graphics of Wiz 6+, so they basically stopped at 5.
Roughly the same thing happened with Ultima. They actually didn't like the increased interactivity from VI+, so their party-based jRPGs tended to resemble V.

ah, thanks anon. I've only played 6-8, so I knew what I saw of the derivatives was very alien.

I edited my ranger and bard classes to be like the wiz7 versions (locks+traps, and wizardry respectively), and the game feels a lot more flexible.

I hope you carry'd over save imported from Wiz 6 then 7 anon!

its insane how much i love this game and also hate this game. its like a marriage

so many fucking things to love but everytime i have to go back to unpani general or traverse across the map i want to kill everyone and then myself. how did they make such a fucking torturous game?

my first play through i did a poor build and gave up 90% in when the enemies outscaled me fml

Great game, did anyone do a mod that fixes the monsters? As-in it inflated them so they aren't 5 pixels tall?
