Lufia & The Fortress of Doom (SNES) Playthrough [1 of 2] - NintendoComplete

[@VahanNisanian]

VERY creative how they had this game start with the events of what would eventually be "Lufia II". Kudos to Neverland Company for that twist. Not to mention this was their very first game; the company was in business for 20 years from 1993 to 2013.

[@megabolt5898]

Weren't they behind the first Harvest Moon games?

[@VahanNisanian]

@@megabolt5898 No, that was Amccus.

[@sammyyo461]

The "Last Battle" track playing in the opening prologue is one the greatest tracks I've ever heard in gaming so far!! It's truly an epic track!!

[@Dorian_Scott]

46:30 Probably my all-time favorite enemy battle music in an RPG. Man, the OST in this game is great!

[@Th3BigBoy]

This game's prelude was something else. I remember it after all of these years.

[@coalcreekdefense8106]

I rented this as a little kid from Blockbuster once, loved it, and never could remember what it was called. This is fantastic.

[@LotoSSJ3]

This is a complete Gameplay? OMG. I think I'm gonna watch it all

[@NintendoComplete]

Yeah, this is the first half. I'll put up the second half next week.

[@NintendoComplete]

If only the rest of the game could live up to the expectations that that intro establishes!

[@krystalfan]

lufia 2 fills that

[@NintendoComplete]

@@krystalfan 100% agreed

[@Gameboy-Unboxings]

How can you handle all the random battles? It seems like overkill...​@@Dorian_Scott

[@MistyKathrine]

@@Gameboy-Unboxings Combat is the main gameplay element of these type of games. All of that equipment, levels, abilities, etc. exist solely to fight monsters. If you enjoy RPGs, battles aren't an issue.

[@kuzuthunder1964]

@@MistyKathrineHe did not say anything against combat, just random battles. Random battles are frustrating because the encounters serve no purpose, as they are not fixed, they are not skill checks but just unnecessary time drains. Fixed monsters or visible encounters are much better because they either test the skill of the player or allow them an opportunity to sneak past them, which should be an option in an rpg. Random encounters would make earthbound, chrono trigger, mario rpg, and lufia 2 dungeons much less endearing.

[@roygoodhand1301]

Some of the translation issues may be due to software limitations. Just before the 5:00:00 mark, you see "Brone " armor. That's clearly supposed to be 'bronze'.

[@Dorelaxen]

Love me some Lufia! Lufia's theme (Pulifa Flowers I think?) is still with me all these years later.

[@foppafred]

The first RPG I ever played. Was decent game while Lufia II was a real masterpiece which rarely is mentioned with the other greats of SNES (FF3/6 and Chrono Trigger)

[@patrickwatt2624]

Wish this was on the switch along with the other SNES classics.

[@kefkarothsephka7708]

i also remember having a dream of having this game in the summer of 2000. and it was a strange one considering i never heard or played or saw the game at that point. one year later when i played this and heard a certain track that i dreamt of. this game became an instant like. plus not grinding and using the 4x exp/gp continue feature this game can challenge you some.

[@zdenshadowdragonbyzideodi8819]

Thankful for what you do for us, Nintendo Complete.

[@Arkngthunchsturdumz]

Thank you so much for sharing!!!

[@NintendoComplete]

Np! :)

[@fantv525]

It brings back so great memories 😢

[@MatthiaGryffine]

I needed to read the title carefully to realize this wasn't the sequel

[@SoftwareAgentsTV]

I liked these games when I was younger

[@hanchiman]

I never managed to finished this game back in my emulation days in 2000.

[@ShredHeadJHJ]

I didn't even think emulators were a thing then. I felt like I saw them around a couple of years after that. I remember I had friend that was emulating SNES games on DreamCast, but they ran choppy then.

[@hanchiman]

@@ShredHeadJHJ nah. ZSNES was already around in 1999. Although the graphic lacked the transparent at the time.

[@jg2722]

Is there a way to save in game ?

[@IKEMENOsakaman]

Omg my dad was 5 when this game came out!

[@charthers8903]

How old are you?

[@kefkarothsephka7708]

@@charthers8903 probably preteen-teen

[@indrachaudhari7874]

I remember seeing the ad of this game in the DC comics and magazines of the 90's. When seeing the cover artwork of this game which resembles the anime style of that era. I wanted to play this game but I did not knew anything about how vast the JRPG were.

[@streetfighter2retro986]

Salve guerreiro 💪 like maroto excelente Gameplay Nostálgico 👏👏👏🎮 Tmj like maroto ✅ 👍

[@NicholasSalay]

I really was never a fan of the group-based targeting system this game had. I remember getting to the three towers en route to Arturo and then just kinda got bored with it. I appreciate what it set out to accomplish though. The prequel to this game was such an amazing improvement to this series in so many ways. That kind of improvement doesn’t happen too too often in games, I feel. That one I did end up getting all the way through.

[@matthewguinn7977]

I finally managed to beat the game in 14 and half hours.

[@Rainb0wR3spawn]

I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO KNEW THIS GAME 😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@matthewguinn7977]

Just now I managed to beat the First Lufia in 16 hours and 55 minutes.

[@MagitekBahamuto]

I love Lufia 2 so much is one of my favourite games but this one…oh god

[@piyoweb]

Ahhh, not a huge fan of the lvl grind and random battles. But the story and boss music was just too good.

[@matthewguinn7977]

Just yesterday I managed to beat Lufia 2 in 10 hours and 55 minutes.

[@WispyBlueBricksGPX]

Sup? RPG is one of my favorite genres ever

[@cjc2010]

As much as I love Lufia 2... the first game had a better translation IMO.

[@larrylaffer3246]

Ah yes the "American Motors" of SNES JRPG's. Never quite as popular as it's contemporaries but not at the bottom of the heap.

[@OutsandingMan2007]

Wow this red orb just keep on multiplying I know you was saying when you played Lufia and the fortress of SDom on the (SNES) is there no end to them lol.

[@dannyhartwig7595]

like it more then the second

[@Blueflag04]

Didnt know Taito also made rpg game

[@eyeswideshut7354]

“I almost stopped playing because of her character alone.” Nintendo Complete = TRIGGERED

[@NintendoComplete]

Omg, I seriously loathed that character.

[@daviddonnelly426]

Fine work

[@HakuoroEruru]

Oh man, this game......story-wise is better in the first to me, but the gameplay is definitively better in the second one (except for the puzzles...). Nice gameplay.

[@matthewguinn7977]

I have beaten Lufia 2 in about 12 and half hours.

[@citizenofcorona8783]

Loved playing this game, even though a lot of things bothered me about it. The sequel is indefinitely better in every way. Shit, it took you 45 minutes just to complete that battle with the red orbs!

[@mariowario5945]

Wtf is with the encounter rate?

[@JasonEllis-s6b]

Is this game possibly on the switch or can be downloaded? I honestly never knew anything about this series til this year. I don't see how it got so over looked. This looks really amazing. Might just pay 80 for the GBA cartrge lol.

[@roberttipton1617]

I remember grinding til I was level 93 before I went to the fortress. Came home from school and my file was erased. Sad day.

[@juanmarquez-e9f]

Ohhhh My Goodness

[@jerrym1218]

I always loved the original battle theme in this game, it certainly goes hard and makes you want to go outside and form a party of 4 people and go out on a quest throughout the United States beating the shit out of bugs, wildlife, cruel hobos, thugs, and heartless human baphomets who hunt and eat babies. Sounds like an idea for a JRPG, I should begin writing a script 😬👍🏼.

[@monyreginacarvalhocarvalho7391]

i played this game its very beatiful and pretty

[@prinzandyvonheidelberg4812]

Dew is a Low Spell! Flash is more Powerfull! But monsters with the elemental fire are naturally weak against dew

[@yusakug]

While Lufia II is obviously better, will always have a soft spot for this game, especially the music, which I think is underappreciated.

[@kefkarothsephka7708]

i actually enjoyed lufia 1 more than lufia 2. not to say lufia 2 is a bad game its great like lufia 1 and 3 but far too easy compared to the two. lufia 2 is my 3rd fav behind lufia 1 and lufia 3.

[@95e]

2:04:38 🏊

[@gaddyric]

I played rise of the sinistrals before i played this game. Funny since i had no idea i was playing in chronological order until i finally played fortress of doom. Took me a while to get through the fortress of doom though. I did not like the game. I thought the intro was cool too and i had probably a somewhat unusual view of it since I played the other game first. This game though was just boring to me and the random combat was a lot more tedious and irritating. The music was disappointing too compared to the prequel. That one was just awesome especially near the end as you are ramping up for the final confrontation. That first music score all the way to the bitter end was just fantastic. This game not so much...

[@geethamadhuri4.033]

😍😍

[@roygoodhand1301]

For some reason, Lufia II was never available around me (Just north of Detroit) and the review I read in GamePro gave it lower scores than what this game, the original, got. So when I found an emulator online, I tried it. I just couldn't get into it like I could this game. Even stranger is that I actually enjoyed Lufia IV.

[@95e]

➡⬆➡⬆3:04:19

[@NisseDood]

I remember this game being really poorly balanced also. It was quite hard up to the water ghost that was a complete bullshit boss with aoe that I ended up cheesing by casting petrify on every character except lufia because she had the best magic res. After that the game pretty much became a cakewalk.

[@kefkarothsephka7708]

50:37,1:06:49,1:44:31 nice job nintendocomplete. thats my victory fanfare cut off point.

[@dorpth]

The downside to this is that Lufia 2 was a vastly better game, but playing just the beginning of Lufia 1 would completely spoil the entire endgame of 2.
