LUFIA 2 REMIX

Postby Abominae » Sun Nov 22, '09, 10:07 pm

In case nobody here has heard, Square-Enix have commissioned the team behind Lufia and the Fortress of Doom & Lufia 2: Rise of the Sinistrals to remake Lufia 2 as an action RPG. Screen shots are already up:

Now, tell me that doesn't have you squirming in your seat...

Hmmm, there's something ironic about the very game that remained in my memory as the RPG that had the largest amount of puzzles of any SNES RPG being remade as an action game. (and fairly strategic battles too) I hope they don't toss the child out with the bath water.

I, for one, am eagerly awaiting this. I'm just hoping everything translates over into an action rpg well [I'm sure it will since it'd be pretty hard to screw that up].

I don't have a lot of faith in remakes that change the play style of a game considerably like this. However, having the original team on it should help ensure the new game remains true to the original. That's a big plus and a tactic I wish other game companies (hello, Sega) would pick up.
