The SFC (SNES) version is far better

[Kotor74]

I actually finished this game with the SFC Remake, (Wizardry VI - Kindan no Mafude) which has far better graphics and good musics. The story and gameplay of that version are nearly identical to the steam version, but other aspects are greatly improved.

The steam version has reused some same sprites for many different characters. For example, the steam version has all these 9 characters look identical (AMAZULU，MEI-LAI，BRIGERD WOLTAN，VALKYRIE，AMAZULU QUEEN，KUWALI KUBONA，AMAZULU ARCHER，SHAMANESS，PRIESTESS), while the SFC Version has them all look very diffirent.

The music of the SFC version is also very cool. (One of the bonus contents of the steam version is the musics from the SFC version in MP3 format, you can check up if you want to know how good the musics of the SFC version are.)

Now that I have beaten the SFC version, I do not intend to play the steam version through. But it is good to have. The pdf manual and hint book are cool. The cooleset bonus content is the mp3 musics of the SFC version. I originally intend to buy this cd from Amazon. This Wizardry buddle saves me some 100 dollars or so, by giving it as bonus! Now I can listen to these cool musics when I drive to my working-place.

Above all, the steam version is cool, the SFC version is far cooler. I really hope that one day, the SFC emulated version of this game can be bought in Steam.

This, I'm very sure of.

The problem with this is that you cannot import your party into the next game to continue the trilogy. While it looks, sounds, and plays better, it would be a waste of time.

That's a good reason to play the original. But I think I'm fine, because I can create a new party when I play CDS.

The snes games generally had better artwork

The Monsters are designed by Jun Suemi. They are quite impressive.

Sounds too crisp and clean to be from the Super Famicom. Are you sure this isn't the Redbook Audio used in the FM Towns port of Wiz 6?

SNES -is- the Super Famicom. It's called Super Famicom in Japan, Super NES elsewhere.

Super Famicom version of Wiz6 has its own art style; graphics and animations quite different from the MS-DOS version.

so is the sfc version of wizardry 6 in English or Japanese?

The game was only released in Japan. There is an unofficial patch out there to turn it into English.

SFC version does not seem to have hit ratio only for PC characters, which means every attacks by PCs are hit. If one doesn't mind this change from original game, then it is worth to play.

I play the sfc version regularly and characters can miss.

Not gonna lie. The graphics for this release might have been fine for their time. But now? *hiss* Yeah, these actually kinda hurt to look at. Would be nice if there was a mod with better graphics.

Is there a PC modding community for the older Wizardry games? I would like to see a SNES graphical mod for PC.
