Topic | Just beat Lufia 1. SPOILERS |

In Lufia 2 you get a similar twist in Iris being the baddie. You could argue that the Iris twist is obvious since it happened in Lufia 1, but playing Lufia 2 first, you don't know about that Lufia 1 twist. Having played that before the 1st game, I didn't know I was getting a different version of it. It was fresh to me. And the impact of going through this journey with Maxim and Selan, having no idea they were going to die (since I hadn't played the first game) had a huge impact on me watching the ending. And the fact that they were leaving their kids behind.. heartbreaking. I'm really doubtful that if I played Lufia 1, the experience would have been nearly as emotional, and/or the Lufia/Erim twist would have been big enough that I'd prefer playing 1 before 2. And did it spoil it? Lufia 2 doesn't allude to events of Lufia 1 because Lufia 1 hasn't happened yet. So playing Lufia 1, you get introduced to Lufia, is there any reason for the player to believe/know that Lufia is also Erim by the end of the first game, other than guessing/assuming? Either way, I stand by playing Lufia 2 first as far as the story goes. It is quite a downgrade from a gameplay perspective going from 2 to 1, though. --- http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20111123223446/simpsons/images/9/99/K.png I didn't even give you my coat! ...
