I always thought that bit about testing luck was just meaningless flavour text.

Same here. I didn't know this would also result in a fight.

Flavion because that was a great chapter in Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door. Or Sirio if everyone is ok about naming it after this.

I also wish that you could reorder who comes first on the Explorere Guild list.

But you can? When you go to formation menu to choose your party members, select one and press left. Now you can reorder them.

Are you happy now, Alice supporters? Useless and did nothing all fight. And she will continue to be useless. IS THIS WHAT YOU WANTED!?

Isn't the point of LP polls to make the game more difficult to the person playing it?

I found out the conditional for the boss after three fights, though. Kill it with Bash damage.

Either I should give my Linkshark an axe or just go with "STICKS!"

At least you can see both the direction and the times you turn around so it's annoying but not bullshit.

The first Class of Heroes game (which is a Wizardry reskin) on the other hand had this thing

"Rotating" tiles which just changes your direction randomnly when stepped, on top of dark zones where you can't see anything that are also on top of anti-spell zones. At least there's not a single damage tile, or damaging walls.

And since I'm talking about it, here's one of the first maps you can run into:

Those green orbs are teleporters, and they transport you back at the beginning or the end, depending if you're on the top half or the bottom half of the map.

That (some of?) its dungeons are randomly generated completely invalidates that point several times over, though.

It's not really randomly generated once you know how the maps work. There's only 78 maps at all, of those, 48 are reused between them but the dungeons themselves follow a few rules:

1) Each dungeon has a center map that will never change.
2) The left side and right side in a dungeon, while randomly chosen, are part of a set. Each set has a pool of 4 maps to chose from, since there's 48 maps, that means there are 12 sets (starting with map 18, and ending with map 65)

Tohaus Trail, for example, has three sets plus the center and goes like this (From/To Boesthaus) - Left 1 - Left 2 - Left 3 - Center - Right 3 - Right 2 - Right 1 - (To/From Yamhaus)
Left and Right 1 are always from the 5th set (maps 34 to 37); Left and Right 2 are always from the 6th set (maps 38 to 41); finally Left and Right 3 are from the 7th set (maps 42 to 45)

3) Since maps are reused between them, that means if you unlock the shortcuts they will carry over the next time you land on that same map even if it was a different dungeon.
4) Most of the maps are mirrored, so if you mapped one part (be it left/right or top/bottom) it makes finding the exit a bit easier.

I'm a bit sad that this system was scrapped in the sequels but on the other hand, each dungeon now has their own maps with their own typical Wizardry bullshit. It's not that funny trecking all the way to the exit with a single fairy alive because the deep water tile happened to have an anti-spell effect killing everyone who doesn't fly naturally.

Bonus: Abyssal God with no subclasses.

REALLY don't try this one at home! It took over 50 attempts. Turns out when you don't have access to subclassing, your options diminish greatly!

I thought that theshim and Saigyouji were the crazy ones :catstare:
