Media.Vision wrote it as rizoodo and as you point out "wizard" is uizaado. They don't sound the same, but they sound similar. I mean that's really the only reason Media.Vision would name the game Riz-zoawd. @Nika – I think the confusion may be in the katakana interpretation of Riz-zoawd.

It'll be interesting to play an RPG with such a known story. I like the new looks of the characters. It’ll be interesting to play an RPG with such a known story.

I think it's supposed to be read as "Wizard" in Japanese. It's hard to explain this, but when you phonetically break it down the two words sound similar. I'm sure if (when?, I mean this is D3's game) comes to America it will be renamed something else. @Ed S – Hmm… I think it’s supposed to be read as “Wizard” in Japanese.

E.g. "Fallz da Yellow Brix Riz-zoawd, dog!" Is it coincidence, or just horrible miscalculation of culture, that the title is some kind of wanna-be hip-hop pronounciation of “Road”.

E.g. “Fallz da Yellow Brix Riz-zoawd, dog!”

Keep us posted on this one Spencer. By the way, I'm getting used to the "NEW" Siliconera look, but I still preferred the old one lol. Keep it up man.
