Hi, I'm Richard Garriott. You know those JRPGs you like so much? They're all basically written out of the genetic code of my game, Ultima. All that overworld stuff? That's all me. I did that.

Not the combat parts, of course. I can't take credit for that. Because that's from Wizardry. Andrew Greenberg and Robert Woodhead made that game.

The Japanese put our games together. That was a good look. We like that. But don't get it twisted for a hot second. Because *all* those games you like? All those Dragon Quest games, Final Fantasy games, Phantasy Star games...all of them? That's us. 50% Ultima, 50% Wizardry. We made that. And we're all Westerners.

Just thought you should know.

Have a great day.
