  Dude my entire life when discussing RPGs, i keep bringing this as my favorite of all time, and rarely if ever do i meet people who actually played this. Thank you, this is truly a gem of its era.

  This game is why my childhood friend became girlfriend, became my wife. 16 years later, and I still pull this game out and she watches me play it still with interest.

  Lufia II was just called Lufia in Germany when I got this game as a kid, it even came bundled with a guide book. To this day it is still one of my favorite games ever. The ending destroyed me as a kid. I put my SNES away after beating it, because I was so sad. But the next day I was playing again. The music is phenomenal and still gives me goosebumps.

  One of the most underrated RPGs ever made.<br><br>Fond memories of playing this in the dutch version on our Super Nintendo way back.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=neWD_4eiDRk&amp;t=3902">1:05:02</a> can we appreciate that Selan had the Light spell her in inventory from the beginning but it costs 0 MP and you can’t select it but at the end you find out why it’s even there? It’s just in there as a plot device

  this game deserves so much more love. Lots of newer/indie devs are looking at old Final Fantasy games, but Lufia 2 is a game that should be the example for how to make it fun and diverse. So many minigames(could spends hours just at the casino and not to forget the ancient cave!), Great way to implement enemies on the map screens with unique movement patterns, an interesting item and equipment selection with effects, a monster trainer game, good puzzles and so, so many secrets. I love this game.

  I love how much love Lufia II has been receiving lately. Its my favorite SNES RPG. (It even beats the almighty Chrono Trigger)

  Ancient Cave is the greatest extra ever in any game, including an RPG. My friend and I used to take turns playing each level trying to get to the end on many, many days in my youth.

  Lufia 2 will always be my favorite SNES RPG, it&apos;s uncontested the best one made. &nbsp;The story, the characters, the world, the systems, the secrets, the puzzles, none do it better. &nbsp;The ancient cave. &nbsp;How many RPG&apos;s have a Dragonball (egg) system, a casino system, a pokemon system, and a rogue-lite built into their game just as optional side content??

  Thank you for making this. As a lifelong fan of this game, I feel you have succinctly captured everything that needed to be said about it. &nbsp;I laughed all 3 times the fire flower puzzle was brought up, you truly gave it the recognition it deserved.
