Secret of Mana is one of the greatest games ever to me, it has a ton of nostalgia attached to it and made me a huge fan of Mana over the years. I missed a couple of games over time but have been playing what I missed and most of them have left a favorable impression on me. As soon as I saw this had a collectors edition i preordered it because the footage looked so fun. I'm very happy to see that this looks to be worth the purchase and the time. Now to decide if I want to try the demo or wait for the full meal! Thanks DG!

[@Castapher]

I feel the same !

[@tomsimmons7673]

This has been one of my most anticipated games since they announced it. Can't wait to get home from work to play it.

[@Mattressinsptr]

Great news.. Thanks for the video. Downloading demo now.

[@michaelneumann9706]

I'm all here for a lighter toned game, but much like with Secret of Mana, I hope it gets heavier towards the end. It was all fun and games in Secret, until the sunken continent got risen, and then got even heavier when the Mana Fortress showed up. Just the music while flying Flammie during those parts alone, made it feel so much more dire towards the end :D

[@LRrealest]

Trials of Mana was my intro to the series on Switch back in 2020 and I really enjoyed that game. Visions looks like that x Tales of Arise which is great imo. I'll get it on Nintendo next console or PS5 Pro next year

[@Mintcar923]

I’m a fan of both of those.. I don’t mind having this on ps5 being i have Trials already on Switch.. I try to balance everything out lol

[@redcronojm]

I wanna compare it to GranBlue Relink. its still like Trials of Mana, i felt some scenes are laggy even on performance thats like a small issue. I wish there were a longer combos in attacks

[@tyg-zw7nn]

You unlock some in tree but yeah not a ton. There weren’t many in Granblue either.

[@DS-ws2eq]

​@@tyg-zw7nnwait... So there are more move set skills in the skill tree? Honestly the combo feel so boring. I'm hoping more in this game tho...

[@tyg-zw7nn]

@@DS-ws2eqyes and they stack. If you get the hold square and hold triangle button from one tree you can use it with another I guess as long as the weapon type is the same.

[@Raspotnik]

Played Secret of mana 1 and 2 back in the day. And loved them to death. I am now 35 and sat down with the biggest of smile playing the demo this morning. This one is gonna be amazing. Preordered.

[@Raspotnik]

Cannot wait for it with Wukong.

[@shatteredsentient5321]

Gonna be a good week

[@kingcronecker]

It reminds me of Eternal Sonata. It's not really my sort of thing but I do want to give games like this more of a chance.

[@PhewzGlory]

Oh my god Eternal Sonata. I’m in LOVE with the art style. There also seems to be some great depth to the combat, it all seems pretty insane especially since its action based instead of turn based (per tradition with the mana series). Loved it so much and hope it delivers. Definitely buying it.

[@DrCasey]

The games are all colorful, but I think that the first two games (Final Fantasy Adventure and Secret of Mana) were the only ones entirely whimsical and lighthearted in tone. Seiken Densetsu 3 was fairly dark and serious by 1995 SNES standards, with all six of the prologues featuring depressing stuff. Legend of Mana was bright and colorful visually but somewhat melancholic in tone.

[@danielramsey6141]

I’m playing the PS4 demo. And Wow! It’s pretty good. But after the Boss Fight the Visuals start to Chug. But I do think these issues are being ironed out in the Alpha Demo.

[@LesmondesduJV]

Nice video! If it is struggling to run on the PS5, I think we should stop thinking about seeing it on the Switch

[@ArtaxNOO]

I love the Mana games! Of course I'm gonna get it😊

[@GPJ6226]

Where do i find the demo on Xbox?

[@johnarevalo3450]

Dream cast guy, just wanna check up on u and how u are doing still in regards to your loss in the family. Hope u doing well

[@jhon1406]

Is it gonna have a class system like Trials?

[@Kumandrake]

each elemental vessel grants a different class for each character so 8x5 = 40 classses i guess?

[@jhon1406]

@@Kumandrake is it a temporary class for the battle? or a permanent upgrade?

[@YoukoZuki]

You can change classes out combat. Combo upgrades are shared between classes with the same type of weapons (3 weapon types per character), while passives are class specific

[@Kumandrake]

@@jhon1406 you equip a spirit outside of battle and get a class, you can play that class for as long as you have the spirit equipped ( cannot have the same spirit equipped in 2 different characters ), so you can freely change classes all the time, but to learn class skills and passives you need spirit points ( in the demo those were limited but i bet in the final release we will be able to get a lot of points to max all classes )

[@niplr8ge217]

Hi😊 Dreamcast guy, one lv keep doin what u doin 👍🏻💪🏻

[@jinyboi]

I love the scenery and landscape in this game. But the combat was a bit clunky I feel

[@Leisli]

i has the same issue with performing on PC

[@PSN9695]

Great review, nice job! Personally I love this it feels so whimsical and fun. My son (He is 8) loved watching me play and then enjoyed playing it. Specially the bright colors and creatures.

[@GamingNexusuk]

Just played the demo, as soon as they started talking I already said to myself nope! I'm done, but I let it play out but even the combat is sluggish and boring. Not for me I guess, which is fine.

[@shenronsamma4650]

the only ps5 game im lookn forward to in aug

[@MelioraSR]

Controls feel janky and combat sadly feels unoptimized. This is especially noticeable comparing to FF7R.

[@Leisli]

the combat is…really bad and clunky compared to granblue relink, where combat felt really fluid. The Demo was a complete let down for me as a secret of mana 1 and 2 fan. Sadly not gonna buy.

[@Monado6]

They demo framerrate is not optimized and the combat feels floaty. I am very disappointed. Seems like a nostalgia cash grabat this point that could have been so much more

[@frankthetank6364]

[@joshuaschmidinger3993]

This sounds Luke everything I want in an rpg and I hate it(or more importantly, my wallet hates it haha)I have 4 games pre ordered and have to pay for them so this ain't helping me 😊 I will try the demo, though that could do me in lol! Thanks for the review max, I also grew up with mana on the snes and crono trigger, ff2, ff3 etc...those were good days.

"If you're looking for brutally difficult with 10-phase boss fight that's going to crush your face" Thank you for describing the worst game imaginable. No thanks, forever.

[@Mintcar923]

What i typically do is choose at least one major release every season.. So this is summer! I’m basing it on how much i liked Trials.. It’s basically the ARPG version of Dragon Quest..

[@ImaDoMe2584]

Hopefully it’s not another garbage like they’ve been doing this past couple months

[@pasta1169]

Personally I didn’t like the demo

[@thewal1ofsleep]

Is it possible to turn off voice acting and just read subtitles? Vooce acting in a lot of modern jrpgs is a turn off for me

[@degeneratecollector9950]

Game play is shallow and not interesting, voice acting is horrendous, and story is boring .. how r u gonna say it’s great in the title? This is coming from someone who had it preordered

[@1lapmagic]

You're in love with this? It seems to have been near-universally derided at this point. Hoping for some cash?

These ppl got's to be getting paid to glaze... this game is soooo mid. Combat does NOT feel like the old-school games at all. You're all wildin.

[@monoxzide1073]

Great on steamdeck

[@Aeroprism]

Completely new style of gameplay? This system is a carbon copy of Trials of Mana. I was really disappointed by the demo. It's really not that visually impressive for a PS5 game, the characters look like badly animated shiny dolls. The voice acting is almost as terrible as Trials too. The teaser videos from a while ago looked so promising... It felt like an open-world game with lots of exploration etc, but the demo made me feel like I was playing Trials of Mana but with new characters: linear exploration, lots of chaotic encounters. I hope the demo is not too representative of the final product.

[@Ch3ch0PR]

I don't like you but I have to admit that this was a good review😅

[@7milesdavis]

Why is the main character so androgynous? I think we already have enough androgynous characters with undercuts. Maybe try something new now. I’m not going to play as some goofball in a dress.

[@Davehhhh]

Were we playing the same game? Combat is sluggish, feels like im stuck in mud. Cutscenes graphics at 30frames is awful. Voice acting was just ok. $60 for nice graphics isnt gonna cut it sorry

[@milesdarobot4980]

Yeah I agree. Coming off of Zenless Zone Zero, these gameplay is really boring. And I'm not even crazy oveR ZZZ. I don't like GACHA games, and the enemies barely fight back. Back they made the combat feel very flashy and satisfying. This game just feels very sluggish

[@diegosales9535]

i agree with 100%. I Will not buy anymore.

[@tyg-zw7nn]

Use morley. It’s supposed to be more choice oriented than speed oriented. Morley is the assassin, fast paced dps.

[@eded9157]

Ok, thanks for clarify this game's difficulty, i have no interest in a easy dumb game right now and the art design is not my thing, ao i Will gladly pass. Also, so many games just skipping Switch is ridiculous, i feel this game and Kunitsu Gami should be on Switch, WTF is Nintendo waiting for to replace that anemic tablet with a new slightly less anemic tablet.

Nah, played It and feels like a weak Granblue Relink

[@veghesther3204]

It will be in fact in the 2nd area for battles the FOREST like area theirs a Ruined CASTLE like area FAR NE corner of the forests map TOO bad NOT only are the enemies at LV 14 so that a LV 10 party can't really beat them but due to LV 10 party members in the demo those enemies can easily kill you NO matter which JOB classes you USE in the Demo like in 1 HIT 80+ damage while you can barely DAMAGE THEM in return. Theirs also a TIMED trial battle against a lv 15 Golem enemy (the same enemy as the lv 14 ones via the Ruined Castle area) but I couldn't win THAT fight in the Demo either.

[@tyg-zw7nn]

Trials of mana requires you to beat the game to get access to the actual difficult modes. Unfortunately.

[@agrillhasnoname]

This is for kids. Period lol. Look at it. The characters are kids. Everything looks childish. They pick up CANDY! Freaking CANDY! You know as in KIDS???????????????????????? During Halloween. Yes kids. It's a game with kids as characters, FOR KIDS. So how old are you? 3? 5? Lol. You use a lot of words to beat around the bush but in reality you can sum it up by saying this is for kids.

[@NicaleATifa]

Garbage game, garbage demo, garbage storyline, garbage voice acting, very repetitive, clunky gameplay. Money grab.

[@khdmhd2947]

Honestly this game looks great but I'm sort of done with square enix. I just don't like their games anymore. I don't think I'll be buying anything from them anymore. It's the exact same reason I won't buy anything from ubisoft and monster hunter wilds will be my last game from capcom. Games aren't great anymore. Theyre boring, bland and tasteless. Game Devs seem to have run out of talent for making good games.
