BUSIN 0: Wizardry Alternative NEO（PlayStation 2）
🧭 Choose Races and Classes to Build a Party
A Wizardry-style first-person 3D dungeon RPG: choose race, class, and alignment to create characters and form a party of up to 6. Front/back formation and raising trust to enable Allied Actions underpin exploration. Clear roles and positioning strongly affect later progress.
BUSIN 0: Wizardry Alternative NEO — what should I check first in Character Creation, Party Building, and Exploration?
Character creation offers 5 races—Human, Dwarf, Elf, Gnome, and Hobbit—with different stat tendencies. Classes include Fighter, Thief, Mage, Priest, Bishop, Knight, Samurai, and Ninja, plus this game's Alchemist, who handles materials, and Gizoku, a stealing specialist. Alignment is Good, Neutral, or Evil and affects class access and class changes. Rather than seeking perfection immediately, build complementary front/back roles.
| Phase | Objective | Checklist |
|---|---|---|
| Early Game | A Safer Starting Party |
|
| Midgame | Establish Floor-Specific Countermeasures |
|
| Late Game | Prepare to Withstand High-Damage Enemies |

1. Traps wipe out the party
Cause: The trap-disarmer is underdeveloped
Solution: Prioritize thief-type development and leave dangerous doors until disarm success improves
2. Cannot continue exploring after running out of MP
Cause: Spending too long on 1 descent
Solution: From the middle floors onward, return after short trips and progress around resupplying
3. A boss one-shots the frontline
Cause: Insufficient resistance equipment and defensive buffs
Solution: Match elemental resistances and make an opening defensive buff a standard action

Place up to 6 party members in front and back rows. Frontliners attack at close range and absorb hits; backliners provide spells and support. A distinctive feature is each member's trust in the protagonist, changing through battles, dialogue choices, and other events. Higher trust unlocks more Allied Actions and strengthens their effects. Keeping a consistent formation and companions ultimately improves coordination.
