Remember Lufia? It's back..."Kinda"

[Random Argument Man]

Woke up this morning after a 15 hours sleep with a breakfast. There's not much to do at 5 AM except browsing the web. Lucky that I did. A few months ago, Square Enix announced a reboot of the Lufia franchise. I got excited. My last Lufia was Lufia 2 and I was pretty satisfied with my Final Fantasy/Zelda mix. (That's how I call it).

Today, while eating a bowl of cereal, I founded myself looking at this.

At first look, it doesn't look exactly like Lufia...

First, no Turn-based battle. Wait, that's a good thing for turn-based haters that loves to nitpick these kinds of things.

One other thing is the puzzles. Lufia had something close to the Zelda formula. Find bow, use bow and figure out the puzzle. This game looks to focus on character abilities.

My only nitpick is when they said "gimmick" in the trailer. It's a pretty bold choice of words. At least, I think so...

Note* Oh, there's a more recent JRPG look too.

Anyway, is there a few nostalgic fans out there?

I played Lufia 3 on the GBC and it was decent. I liked the twist at the end. I remember on my second playthrough I got a random drop in the first of the 4 towers of doom that ended up being nearly the best sword in the game. My main character was quite happy.

I'll probably be the only one who thinks this: But does anyone else think the red-haired guy was using a similar sword to Soul Blade/Edge?

Well I would hardly call myself a nostalgic fan since the first time I played a Lufia game was like 3 months ago and only played the beggining been meaning to get back to it cause I liked the little that I played but I keep forgetting and when I put it I realize I don't have time to play it.
