Part 2

Veritron posted:

This game is so terrible compared with its prequel.

But it's still an excellent game in its own right. Also, 3 for GBA is decent and, haha, 4 hahahahaHAHAH seriously though there was never a fourth one and if anyone even hints at the possibility of it existing I will come to your house and punch you in the face.

What did I name our protagonist? You'll find out after this long intro sequence where we play as Maxim, Selan, Guy, and Artea, and kill shit!


There may be a lot of expository dialogue. It usually passes pretty quickly, though, and isn't painful. Although, for the intro, I'm going to skip most of it. Because it's pretty inconsequential to the story, and there's only one or two important parts in it.


Ah, Light, the only spell that does nothing in battle and is only used once.


I knew we shouldn't have taken that left turn at Albuquerque!


Aw, no banners or balloons or streamers?


Aw man, I wish I hadn't thrown out that item that let's me go through ceilings.



dum dee dum. . .


OH SHIT FROGS.

Here's how battles work: You choose a group of enemies to attack. So, since there are two frogs, I attack one of them at random. If there were, say, two frogs and two wolves, I could choose to either attack the group of frogs, or wolves. Spells hit a set number of targets, whether it's one enemy, a group of enemies, or all enemies. Elves can use bows, which hit all enemies in a group. It's really stupid. Also notice that they're all ridiculously overpowered, because this is basically a tutorial and intro.

Also, the characters dance on the menu screen:



KAWAII
The Dual Blade is like, the ultimate weapon that kills sinistrals and shit. It's pretty sweet. It's also why Maxim is holding two swords.


Statues of the Sinistals. You know, in case they forget what they look like or something.


After some dialogue about crossing a bridge, I reach the actual dudes. Okay let's kill them.



Gades, Sinistral of Destruction.


He's big and swordsman-like.


Slicey slicey


Best spell ever.


One down, three to go.


Amos, Sinistral of Chaos.


He's very knightly. He's the beefy one who has high defense. It's kind of dumb, in the later two games (TWO, ONLY TWO) they actually have moves that reflect their power, so Amos causes negative statuses and Gades blows shit up.


Dead.


L. . . I mean Erim, Sinistral of Death. Right, Erim.


Dead. I forgot to take a normal screen of her, but as you can tell she's the only female sinsitral. Keep this in mind.


Daos, Sinistral of Terror. BOO!


Dead.

Now the four attempt to merge their power together to destroy our heroes, and you know the world and stuff.


Spinny energy. Then we merge our energy flow well anyway it's stupid the whole point of this is to be dramatic, and then as they try to escape Selan dies and Maxim is trapped with her, forcing Guy and Artea to warp out.


Spinny


She can't speak but she is anyway!


They're trapped.


Aww PS they had a son, named. . . well you'll find out when we play Lufia 2!


Finally. Wait, you guys got to skip all the dialogue. Lucky. Don't worry, it gets better.


Now I guess they'd have to call it a submarine shrine or something right guys


Nope. NEVER.


Good name, concise, easy to remember, literal. At least they didn't call it something stupid no one would ever remember like the Lion War or something gay like that.


Real actual title screen! In the next update (which I will make after I finish taking out the trash) we'll meet our hero and his girlfriend, and stab some slimes or something! Stay tuned!
