11/26/2022 0 Comments Legend of mana physical![]() #LEGEND OF MANA PHYSICAL SERIES#Legend of Mana is easily one of the more unique entries in the Mana series thanks to its free-form narrative system no doubt a byproduct of Akihiko Matsui and Akitoshi Kawazu – both key players in the SaGa series – playing a part in its development. Simply put, the game could have benefitted from a remake over a remaster. As a fan of SaGa, flaws and all, I’m okay with that in theory, but Legend of Mana as a remaster ultimately shines light on its most dilapidated parts rather than making them better. It was undeniably ambitious for its time, with many unique features that were perhaps not as technically feasible (or well thought out) as they could have been. Originally released in North America in 2000, Legend of Mana was received with a mixed to moderately positive reception at launch, with most outlets citing the game’s presentation as it’s most praiseworthy feature (and rightly so). Having just wrapped up the excellent remaster of SaGa Frontier a few weeks ago, I was primed and ready to dive into this PS1-era Mana adventure. Despite my recent pleas for more retro Final Fantasy support – please put the upcoming pixel remasters of I-VI on Switch! – they have released quite a few games on the Switch, including a Legend of Mana remaster. Square Enix have treated Nintendo Switch fans quite well over the past few years. ![]()
