I’m just curious— Why does Wizardry 8 not have its own title? The other games in the series had surprisingly good/dramatic titles, going all the way back to “Proving Grounds of The Mad Overlord.” Actually, I think the only feeble title in the series was “Return of Werdna” (or whatever part 4 was called… I always seem to get it slightly wrong.) So why is part 8 just, “Wizardry 8”? I mean, come on! You’re finishing up a trilogy that consisted of “Bane of The Cosmic Forge” and “Crusaders of The Dark Savant”… two very cool titles!

(yes, I know this is a completely trivial question, and the lack of a title doesn’t affect anything in any way. Like I said, I’m just curious.)
