I managed to snag a copy of Lufia 2 Rise of the Sinistrals (I think those guys are sinister or something). Apparently this is very rare, but the person I got it from normally sells trading cards so they likely didn't know what they had and I got it for $20.
First impressions are that it seems like it'll be a very fun game, and as a later SNES title an amazing one to look at too. It's a shame that before I even got very far I already started noticing glitches. Like, big ones. At first I wondered if the game itself had been damaged in some way, but looking it up online it seems this game was rushed and so it didn't get the polish most really good SNES games tended to get. Yes, there are glitches in other SNES games, but theyr'e usually out of the way. In this case, just navigating the menu is a tricky exercise just to avoid a glitch goblin or two. Apparently one of the shrines later on is a glitchy mess as well.
All the same, I think I can move past the glitches to a good game. It still doesn't seem as glitchy as the typical Bethesda game :D.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
