Early-Installment Weirdness: The first game has minimal plot, with character names lifted from then popular media such as A Chinese Ghost Story, and was influenced in gameplay by the Dragon Quest series. The series' trademark Chinese painting artwork and monster absorption system were not introduced until the second game.
