The upcoming reimagining of Lufia II has been gaining a lot of attention recently since it's initial reveal. Square Enix are trying to keep the momentum going by releasing the first trailer for the game showing its various elements in action.

Estpolis: The Lands Cursed by the Gods is a remake of Lufia II, but it’s not the Lufia II you remember. Neverland’s original work was a traditional RPG that had turned based battles. Forget all about that. Estpolis is an action RPG with an emphasis on “action”.

Those dual screen boss battles look fantastic. David vs. Goliath-esque boss fights are usually a blast. I also like how Estpolis appears action packed. The trailer had lots of platforming, a hookshot type tool to play with, and a brief scene where Maxim is dodge rolling to avoid flying rocks.

OK, Estpolis is far from Lufia II, but this remake/re-imagining has potential.
