In this edition of Random.access Retrospectives, we'll be taking at one of the classic RPG series of our time, though perhaps also one of the most underrated as well, the Lufia series. Known as the Estpolis series in Japan, most games follow a series of blaze-haired heroes (red in colour, not actually on fire) whose destiny is to defeat the Sinistrals, a group of alternate worldly beings with the yearning to control the world. But that won't happen... will it? I'll first look at all the games that actually made it to shelves, and then peek at a few things we missed; there are many cancelled Lufia games as well! Whoa!
