Japan has a long lasting love affair with Wizardry, most JRPGs are
inspired in one way or another by Wizardry. Basically Wizardry came over
to Japan and created the whole Japanese CRPG scene.

Wizardry... and Ultima. Wizardry influenced the combat mechanics of
JRPGs, but the visuals - especially the overland travel - came from
the Ultimas. For a while, Ultima was all the rage there. There are a
number of Ultima games and products that were only released in Japan
(including a full-speech version of Ultima Underworld for the
Playstation).

yes, and there are a few Wizardry games that only ever saw release in
Japan (mostly console versions I think)
