Thank you for the suggestion! I tend to like more adventure types, like Breath of Fire or even Zelda, more than war-themed ones (although I made an exception for Destiny of an Emperor b/c it's based on real historical events, even if loosely), but I see where this game was done REALLY well, so a very solid thought!:-)

I see why you mentioned it: the intention behind it does seem exactly like the Lufia series, really putting in the time to tinker and make it RIGHT, like it tries to go beyond a mere "game" for enjoyment, possibly crossing over into a master of its CRAFT (whether it actually reached that lofty ideal seems highly debatable, but in any case the attempt alone is worthy of some respect imho).

I am just leaving this out there if anyone wants to learn more: Suikoden II - The Best RPG You Never Played.
