Hello, fellow X.R.C. members! Arc Zeum back with the next chapter of Falcom Academy! This one took a little longer than expected, since the chapter dealed with an old Falcom title I’ve never played, that title being Dragon Slayer IV: The Worzen Family! I call it that and use that title in this chapter’s translation, but this game actually goes by other titles; Dragon Slayer IV: The Drasle Family in Japan(Drasle being an amalgamation of the two words DRAgon SLayEr), and Legacy of the Wizard in the West.

Adol wasn’t the only Falcom character that was Westernized.

Throughout this chapter, I’ll be sprinkling in some neat Drasle Family trivia and tidbits for your entertainment. And with that said, here is the latest chapter of Falcom Academy!

For the curious, here’s the background music Arakubo Sensei is talking about!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JVQc52akpw

Yeah, for some reason the credits list Lyll as an “Elf”. Don’t know why. I couldn’t find the answer during my research. Should we assume infidelity?

So in Dragon Slayer IV, in order to progress through the story you had to give a password to old man Douel(the Grandpa in the comic) so you could continue, and Grandma Jeila here would be the one who relays the password to Douel in-game.

So yeah, any password typed in is what Grandma Jiela says to Grandpa Douel. Hence, she only speaks in Password.

Roas might as well be a real Hikikomori in his game, given that he’s fairly weak and his only purpose is to wield the Dragon Slayer to kill King Dragon Keela(also known as Deelgios in Japan).

And that’s the end of this chapter! In the next blog, I’ll be taking a small break from FalGaku and will be releasing a Tokyo Xanadu chapter from the Tokyo Xanadu Comic Anthology! You know, from that game this blog was supposed to be about? Well, no matter. Please follow me on Twitter @ArcZeum for updates on future blogs, projects and other stuff I’m up to, and don’t forget to be wonderful Falcom fans! Meeting adjourned!

P.S. For anyone curious about Dragon Slayer IV, here’s a review of the game by Kurt Kalata where he goes into more detail.http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/legacy-of-the-wizard/
