@zephiel87 10 жыл бұрын
I'm of the opinion that the first game should still be played first as it is meant to be. The beginning of Lufia is not spoilers for the second, but rather strengthen the impact of the Lufia 2 character development. You just know how it's going to end up, but you still tag along in their struggle. When you finally get to see Doom isle rise, you get goosebumps and when "The Last Battle" cue in, you are emotionally devastated yet you press on to close the loop and have Maxim meet with his destiny. It's an amazing storytelling twist that shouldn't be overlooked due to the second game being a prequel.

I probally completed Lufia 2 since the last 10 years about 20 times, no kidding. This game marked me as a child, and every year i HAVE to relive it for some reason. Everything about the characters, world, true rpg feeling, intense emotions, and MUSIC, My god, the music. I became a musitian with years and all i do in my spare time is replay those pieces of pure art over and over Thank you Lufia 2, thanks you so much

My console of choice when it comes to RPGs is the SNES. The PlayStation was an amazing system for RPGs too, and it had a larger selection than the SNES (thanks to the overwhelming success of Final Fantasy VII and the boom in the genre it caused), but the SNES had significantly better RPGs. I adore games like Final Fantasy VII, Xenogears, Chrono Cross, Lunar 2: Eternal Blue Complete, Suikoden II, Wild Arms and Star Ocean: The Second Story, but they just fall short of titles like Final Fantasy IV, Final Fantasy VI, Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana, Terranigma, Super Mario RPG and EarthBound. Both systems are excellent though. The PS2 definitely deserves a shout out as well. Dragon Quest VIII, Final Fantasy XII and Persona 4 kick ass.

Lufia 3 as well. I mean, 'The Legend Returns' (AKA Really Lufia 3). Once you get used to the scale-down going from SNES to GB and a lot of missing Lufia 2 things and the more lighthearted dialogue/story and the unique but ultimately rewarding battle system (ok I admit thats a lot of things to get used to), it should be seen as probably the greatest GB RPG ever, and probably still one of the greatest handheld-exclusive RPG ever. The wave system is honestly brilliant once you get used to it. The music is some of the best GB music ever too. The problem with Lufia 1 is, even though i believe it has a better story than Lufia 2, Lufia 2 is the famous one because of its gameplay and people only recommend it or tell ppl to play it first, which makes it harder to play or even notice Lufia 1... Now I'm thinking the order should be Lufia 3, 1, then 2... lol

My first memory of this game was watching a friend playing around with a pen and paper trying to solve a dungeon puzzle for a Dragon Egg. I managed to solve it for him, the one where you put a block in the door to stop it closing. Ended up buying the game off him a year later and still have it. I can only assume my SNES, controllers and games must be worth something like 400 dollars these days.

I know this is a 10yo video now, but I wanted to comment anyway. There are four RPG-related games that I reference when people ask me for recommendations that don't get brought up all the time: Crystalis, Soul Blazer (which I see you've also got a video for and will be watching right after this!), Sword of Vermillion, and this. It was the dungeon puzzles in this game that really sold it for me the first time I rented it from the local video store. I remember being REALLY hung up on one of them for several hours, and when I finally figured it out it was the kind of feeling I don't get from games a lot anymore. Kinda miss those days, kinda don't. Current evolution of RPGs has left me really not wanting to play them anymore, but the simplicity of these games in the old days is something for which I think I still long.

I always get a kick out of saying a game is hard to find. I have emulators for the, NES, SNES, TG-16, and Sega with every game ever released in the states for said systems. I also made sure to back all of that up in many locations, so that it is never lost. I'm not purest, and am perfectly happy playing these classics (some less than others) through a emulator. I also don't feel bad in the least about not paying for decades old games, many of which no longer offer convenient methods of purchase. Hell, 90% of the ones I want to play I owned at one point or another anyway.

I've played lufia 2 so far really great. One thing about the capsule monsters: figuring out what to feed them is a little easier just checking the item's name on a separte rectangle above the commands. Your video convinced me to get the game, really great video. On a side note: it's true the story is weak, though sometimes it definetely seems to improve even before that 1/3, but some NPC dialogue doesn't help too much though, or make any sense...

This was the only SNES game that was ever translated into Dutch (for whatever reason). It came in a big box with a strategy guide and a poorly drawn comic book. It was almost a perfect game and with the AC I probably spent more time on it than I did with Link to the Past, but what it needed were more memorable characters. They all had personalities, but none were particularly pronounced.
