Lufia & The Fortress of Doom is the sequel to Lufia 2. It starts by giving you a glimpse of how 2 ended. You are a nameless hero decendant of the heros Maxim and Selan. You have to defeat your ancenstors' opponents, the Sinistrals who have somehow returned. There is also a mystery regarding your girlfriend, Lufia. You go on a quest to gather info and items from whoever remained from the previous war, find the sword Dual Blade, defeat the Sinistrals, and find out what big secret your girlfriend seems to be hiding. There are four characters: you as the nameless hero warrior and minor wizard, Aguro the warrior, Jerin the elf, and Lufia the witch. - Nach
