Wow, that is impressive! I like your backstory too. :P I'm kind of amazed you had no points in staff defense. Did you rely on manual dodging a lot? Did you die a lot? My first playthrough was an average, Normal difficulty 2 fighter, 1 mage, 1 rogue game. Now I'm going through on Hard with 2 fighters...

the Good: -- yeah, splat naked into a dungeon, constant terror for the first few levels -- a lot of style and immersion, really great mood achieved overall -- secret button hunting. that "you found a secret!" sound has become just as pleasurable now as the Zelda one... the Bad: -- ruining...
