Ultima VII - The Black Gate (Japan)
Ultima VII: The Black Gate, released on the SNES, marks a notable shift in the Ultima series. Unlike its predecessor, it features a more interconnected world map, requiring extensive exploration and interaction. The shift towards puzzle-solving and investigation, breaking away from traditional RPG conventions, created a unique gameplay experience. While still featuring character progression and combat, the emphasis on detailed environments and storytelling sets it apart from previous entries in the franchise. The Japanese and American releases, although largely similar, have subtle differences. Origin Systems again spearheaded the development, showcasing their ongoing experimentation with gameplay mechanics and narrative structure within the RPG space.
