The Music of Video Games [182] Lufia

[Suuulan]

I hated this game actually. The 2nd one was better.

[crono4265]

Miss all these games. SNES was the best system ever.

[Nickvolatile]

one of the great ones

[dunevenker]

I was about 10 years old when I played these games. I beat Lufia, grabbed Lufia II off the shelf, and about a week later I was stuck. I never beat Lufia II. Makes me want to cry.

[Voliko1]

The more I listen, the more I want to play!!

[nintygaming]

Most people don't know this, but Lufia is actually, Lufia II.

What I mean is, Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals is actually a prequel to the original.

[InfernalApocalypse]

The music in Lufia is incredible, but it really is a long-winded grinder. The second game is VASTLY superior.

[Camwi]

Fantastic music. I've only played Lufia 2, but I friggin' LOVED that game. I'll definitely get to playing the original one of these days.

[mackenzy123]

how is it lame it's almost like final fantasy everyone;s intitled to there own opinions anyway's take out the puzzles and you get final fantasy pretty much

[Draekrio]

as much as i find the mackenzy's comment unfair. the fact that he's been thumbed down is even worse. it sucks but he pretty much is right. strip down the unique elements of ANY rpg and you have FF or Dragon warrior. because the first in both of those series was nothing more than raise your levels and beat the big bad twat, as fun as that was. but i dont think he realises that's the whole point of all these games, ff and dragon warrior developed a concept that thousands of games spawned from.

[InfernalApocalypse]

@Draekrio Nah, you get Wizardry.

[Draekrio]

@InfernalApocalypse ok so my referance was wrong I'll admit that but you get my point. Nothing's unique anymore because the first game that defines any genre is pretty much the base principle for every other game of that genre.

[masterlinkx101]

Memories come flooding back.....

Goes to change pants......

[Auronshead]

lol

[TheCat86]

I ended up hating this game, lol what a grindfest.

[XGerik]

OMG! I just started playing this game again and I got my boat!

[Bojanvasiljevic02]

when i was younger i had this game for my nintendo,but does it exist for a PC.if it does PLZ PLZ PLZ PLZ tell me where can i get it PLZ.

[BigDiff7]

Try an SNES emulator

[Fieryshadowz]

SNES Emulation.

[jiggles207]

This was the first RPG I ever played, and like your first car or your first kiss, I will always remember this jewel. I still think its better than FF 4. lol

[mackenzy123]

first rpg for me was dragon warrior :D

[QuixoticAspect]

Well spoken!

Although I've gone on and established my library of favourite SNES (and otherwise, but mainly SNES) RPGs; Fortress of Doom was my first and still one of my dearest - even if the people whom I go on about this to haven't the faintest idea why this game has my high regard.

I tip my hat to you!

[zero1991]

when i was a kid it said final battle so after i beat all the sin guys i thought i beat the game :/

[notyoursavior78]

I always liked this one better than the second, it probably makes me in the minority. Oh well! I felt a lot more attached to this game. I liked all the characters the towns, random battles were no problem. Just a great game.

[furiousjade]

I remember when i was a kid and i was convinced this game was actual history.. haha

[Columbianbacon]

It isn't? Crap, I need to change my thesis before it's too late!

[furiousjade]

haha

[blackshadow148]

love this game....ALOT

[rpgprofessor]

AHHHH!!! Random battles, so many random battles... Just kidding, despite the random battle rate in Lufia 1 (quite possibly the highest in the history of RPG's) it's still a great game.

[hash1978]

Breath Of Fire 2, while a great game, has a similar issue :)

[jwrfb26]

For some reason, this is one of my favorite games of all time. I love it.

[RoZzou]

Same here. This game is amazing. Too bad it's so underated.

[gamergeek]

I never did play through the perquel(Lufia II) awesome how they did that though. and who can forget the fortress of doom music? 3:58

[StewNWT]

It was definitely a dungeon trudge but for some reason it was awesome. SO MANY F-ING CAVES!! especially when searching for alumina, but the cave music was good at least. LOVE the doom island theme and opening, so good, and the final boss music rocks so hard

[skyrunner14]

I'm actually playing this now. I'm up to the North Tower when I have tosave Jerin. Oh, and I'm not old, I'm in my mid-teens. See? Young people like the old games too. Also, FLAMIN' MAX!!!

[Floppzor]

one of those games that are one of a kind! i had it on an emulator once *cough*  still im sad that i dont have it :P

[wolvebuck]

I remember working my way through nearly this entire game and then getting fed up. Nearly all of the dungeons/towers were just palette swaps and I was bored to tears by the end. The prequel was infinitely better, in my opinion.

[mistersleeepy]

wonderful music...brings back great memories of playing this game a good 15 years ago I can't believe it's been that long

[garudoh]

Yep. We're all old coots now.

[NathanWubs]

hey being 21  does not make me old. I am not old like cranky kong.

[JonGeric]

@garudoh

whoa speak for yourself i played this game when it came out and i'm only 23...when i have kids and they ask me about my childhood i'll tell them tales of the super nintendo when they ask what that is i'll laugh and say "the super nintendo could have been anything...it chose to be a god"

[MattiasOhlund]

@mistersleeepy I wish I was with u back then ... I only played this later like only a couple of years ago... I want that same feeling as you Q.Q

[feee99]

@mistersleeepy Yeah, I now remember what happened to my childhood/early teens. Despite its cartoony appearance, this was a TOUGH game- harder than many Final Fantasy games, I thought.
