Gades is the best sinistral.
Problem is over the past year or three I've tried to replay Lufia II. It's one of those gems I never bothered to replay when I had the SNES still hooked up simply because beating the game in my room upon my bed was close to being legendary.Seiken said:
So when I do get all uppity and decide to replay it, I get Maxim to Sundletan where he consequently shits himself upon experiencing the earthquake... and for some reason I quit.

holy fuck! I promised myself I would never get excited again for another Lufia game after the GBC disappointment and the GBA abomination, but damn!SilverLunar said:

If I buy this in support of the Lufia IP, do I send the message that the series is financially viable or that I want another Lufia ARPG?
Cool trailer, and I´m happy that it isn´t just a remake.
There won´t be a turned based Lufia anyway, so why don´t you buy or don´t buy it based on if it´s a good game or not? I know that´s a crazy idea but I read somewhere that there are people that do it this way.

Except now Maxim is Douche Central of the land of Doucheia from the planet Doucheonia.
yeah, it was impressive.
i am still shocked that SE si still happy with the DS after its meh sales of Blood of Bahamut, Nanshi no gemu 2 (but that game looked to have the minimum budget) and Saga 2. Also 4 WoL game was not hot either.
but enough of that, its damn Lufia game
, i just hope they don't bastardize it like they did it with Grandia III

Silent Hill: Shattered Memories, Estpolis, the retellings in the Chronicles series for Resident Evil... More and more, I'm starting to thoroughly dislike this recent trend of "bastardizations" of great games.Dragona Akehi said:Except now Maxim is Douche Central of the land of Doucheia from the planet Doucheonia.
I mean, look at that trailer. This is a completely different game, it's hardly even recognizable as Lufia II. Why not just write an original story instead of making a thousand changes?

The one thing I adored about the Lufia games was that the protagonists were never the typical shounen male lead "I BELIEVE IN MYSELF AND MY FRIENDS". They were intelligent and often played the straight men to the comical characters around them (such as Aguro or Dekar). Maxim and Maxim's Descendent were very refreshing characters.
Laguna said:
Maybe because he prefers turn-based?
I feel the same. I think it's pretty lousy they changed the combat as well. Considering Kojima's reason is so lame. Because "turn-based isn't new anymore?" And action-RPGs are new?
I don't know, if the game ends up being that good, has rave reviews, I probably will pick it up. But I am not too thrilled right now on the change.
Besides, it probably won't even make it to NA, anyways.

Dengeki has an interview with the developers as well as the S-E producer. It confirms that the people making the game are the same people who created Lufia.
Director: Masahide Miyata (director of Lufia 1 and 2, and the Rune Factory series)
Main Planner: Naoyuki Ukeda (main planner of Lufia 1 and 2, director of Shining Force Neo)
Miyata is not only directing the game, but he's also writing the scenario, and handling game design along with Ukeda.

Was interested until seeing it's an action game now. I really should play through the original again, it's been however many years since the game came out.

Wait, this is an action RPG now?
Fuck. Boycotting this out of pointless nerd-spite, then. Unless, you know, people say it's really good.
But yeah, hype -1000.

Hey guys, you remember Tia don't you?
Ah, good old Tia. With the orange hair and the teddy bear suitcase.... and that chain monster thing..........................

I'll admit, there's this really strong and perverse curiosity buzzing about in me as to what they're going to do to this game's plot.
To be fair, any retool that that makes Tia not a whiny useless bitch would be a vast improvement by default.

Why yes, I did leap for joy when I realized she left my party for good, why do you ask?

I don't even know what this is anymore. The style of game play is quite out of the norm for the series, and almost all of the character designs are so strangely different than the source material. And it's not even that the designs are that bad, because I don't really mind any of them. But this is taking the whole reboot thing a bit too far.
This should have been a new game in the series. Does Square Enix/Neverland think the Lufia II characters and setting are so vital to the game's success that they must reuse them despite the fact that they obviously want to go in a completely different direction? It's not like new fans are going to be drawn in by the fact that they are "remaking" the second game, and most old fans that I've talked to so far are not really impressed with what they are doing to the characters and lore.
Who exactly are they trying to target with this game? Because it certainly doesn't seem to be the long time Lufia/Estpolis players.
I know it's a bit early to be saying this, but the more I see of this game, the less impressed I am. It actually seems to just make me feel more depressed about the current status of this series. Will we ever see a traditional Lufia game again?

Lov Tia!
pissed that she had to leave the team . . . stuck with weak magic now in the first boss fight after the time jump. >_>

Currently playing Echoes of Time and that game makes me wish this has touch based movement (but not to the extent of Phantom Hourglass). Dpad movement in 3d space should only be optional if not outright outlawed. This is only made worse with aiming. *retch*neo2046 said:
