Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals: Frue Lufia

Frue Lufia is a mod of Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals that fixes just about every bug in the game. Additionally, it sports a full script update, fixing many of the inconsistencies and errors present in the retail version. Censorship has been removed as well. As a cherry on top, some minor rebalancing is also featured. See the "Notable Changes" text file for a full list of alterations.

There's also an alternative bonus patch added which changes the final boss in some way.

Apply to a NTSC-U Lufia II ROM. NTSC-U ROMs have the Natsume logo at startup, not the Nintendo logo.

(Note: This is a direct upgrade to Relnqshd's https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/229/. All of Relnqshd's enhancements and bug fixes are included in Frue Lufia.)
