Reviews

Short dialog box was my favorite!	dnqpy	2022-08-13	Version 2.2
I tried all the patch variations out and 'short dialog box' was my favorite. The original dialog made the display look crowded so this was a welcome change. This is my first play through of the game, so I can't comment on the text fixes, but everything's consistent with previous Lufias and it plays great! I've been streaming on Twitch as dnqpy and saving highlights if anyone wants to check out some video. I should have checked my chat more, as the author of this patch dropped by to say hi in my first stream. Thanks for the great contribution to the Lufia community, FlamePurge!
