(Nostalgia Filter is NOT a YMMV trope)
Line 6:
* [[Cargo Ship]]: Dekar/his sword.
{{quote|'''Dekar''': My love is my sword!
'''Guy''': I think you should stay away from thoughts like that. }}
* [[Complete Monster]]: The Sinistrals. Except for Arek and {{spoiler|[[Noble Demon|Erim]]}}. It is implied that there are good Sinistrals, just that none of them are around at the moment. In the DS version, it's also implied that at one point {{spoiler|the evil ones used to be nice}}.
* [[Crazy Awesome]] -: Dekar. The whale scene mentioned below is his high point in ''Lufia II'', but ''Curse of the Sinistrals'' takes it even farther. One of the first things he does is boot a giant robotic eye into the stratosphere, and in a later scene, he drops in from literally nowhere when Maxim asks who Tia's new boyfriend is, then [[Hand Wave|Hand Waves]] it with "The greatest boyfriend in the world always comes when he's needed!". He also claims to have {{spoiler|''destroyed an entire parallel universe'' in order to come back from his [[Heroic Sacrifice]].}}. Since we're not given any other explanation, we can only assume that it's true.
** From any other character at all, this would be unbelievable and downright strange. From Dekar, we smile knowingly and accept that it happened without complaint.
*** Let's face it, Dekar's overall level of crazy awesome and badassery is only surpassed by [[Mahou Sensei Negima|Jack Rakkan]] himself.
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]:
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]] -* "For the Savior" from ''Lufia II'' was such a nice track that the music composer for ''[[Super Robot Wars K]]'' actually plagarized it. The original is also very nice sounding for a 16-bit piece of soundtrack.
** This Troper honestly feels the whole soundtrack is insanely epic. Especially the Arrangedarranged tracks out with the release of ''Curse of the Sinistrals''.
** The battle music with the Sinistrals in ''Lufia II'' is ''epic'' for an SNES title.
* [[Cult Classic]]
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: Dekar, if the amount of tropes and fanfiction about him say anything. He even {{spoiler|reappears in ''Ruins of Lore''}}.
** In a meta sort of way, ''Lufia II'' is this for the whole series.
* [[Game Breaker]] -: In ''Ruins of Lore'', the Chance Hit skill for the Fighter class can be acquired early in the game, consumes little MP, and deals random damage from 20 to 200 in intervals of 20 (''ignoring defense'' but still affected by critical hits)?, rendering ''all other attack spells'' pretty much obsolete and allowing ''many'' bosses to be handily defeated by otherwise puny characters for much of the game.
** Much later in the same game, it is possible with effort and planning to [[Gotta Catch Em All|recruit]] an [[Metal Slime|Anti Core]], which can be taught a wide variety of skills and has insane defense and speed?, allowing it to attack up to ''eight'' times per round. Teach it Pickpocket and steal Power Sources from a certain enemy to arbitrarily boost its attack power, then teach it Rapidfire or Octostrike (no MP cost, hits all enemies) and watch as [[Hilarity Ensues]].
** ''The Legend Returns''' version of the Ancient Cave gave you a chance at finding a female-only weapon known as the Iris Blade. Equip that on Seena or Aima. Watch them tank every known enemy to hell.
** The DS remake of ''Lufia II'' introduces Level Boosting. If you get a game over, you have the option to increase your party members' levels by 5. This increase is not only permanent, but ''repeatable'' as well. It is entirely possible to reach level 99 in less than an hour by purposely letting monsters kill you over and over again.
* [[Good Bad Bugs]]:
** ''Lufia II'': Defeatingdefeating the Egg Dragon with a healing item (see [[Cap]], abovein the main section) and the Master Jelly by killing yourself.
** ''Ruins of Lore'': the Sacrifice skill--a 0 MP skill that is supposed to deal 999 damage to a non-boss but kill the user--fully heals the user if they target ''themselves''. Blue Tea in Ordens can be sold for more than the purchase price, and the Blacksmith near the beginning can be exploited to get a limitless amount of whatever item he last made.
* [[Memetic Badass]]: Dekar is somewhat of a canon example in ''Lufia II''.
* [[Memetic Mutation]]: The fact that Artea (a male) can equip a ''bunny girl outfit''.
** While it's not as widespread of a meme as Artea, Yurist of ''The Legend Returns'' is also somewhat notorious for being able to equip equipment that is normally exclusive to the female party members.
* [[Nostalgia Filter]]: May make or break ''Curse of the Sinistrals'' for you.
** "This is what I would call frue destruction!"
* [[Sequelitis]] - The two portable entries are generally poorly regarded. The third portable entry is technologically better, but still a [[Base Breaker]] in its own right.
* [[Surprisingly Improved Sequel]] - Lufia II adds huge amounts of innovation and fun to the fairly standard system of the original. Note that almost every example here comes from Lufia II.
