Which Versions of the First 3 Mana Games Should You Play? - The Collection of Mana Port Review

[@Valefolken]

You disregarded the biggest change to secret of mana's remake. The magic system. It's actually worthwhile now to cast spells on non-boss enemies and level up your magic without inn grinding. It was inncredibly rewarding casting stat ups and downs during regular encounters to level your magic and then restoring your MP from leveling up. This feature alone makes the remake better than the original. I grew up with the original, renting it every weekend from a game store until we got super lucky and found it for cheap at a pawn shop. A lot of childhood memories with it. But I'd still rather play the remake now, much as I prefer the aesthetics of the original. The gameplay improvements were just too huge to ignore.

[@AustinSV]

Appreciate this feedback and the anecdote. I pinned this for now so people can see. This is def something I've overlooked & this kinda thing is why I wanna give Trials of Mana more focus in a future video; so these mechanic overhauls don't go over my head

I have big problems with the voice acting and the art direction of the remake. It feels like they rushed through some critical design points.

This is the first time I've heard someone speak positively of the remake, and it makes me excited to eventually play my copy....once I finish the original again on Collection of Mana.

[@nowonmetube]

Absolutely disgraceful bullshit. Not only that it destroys balancing and makes everything worse, no even IF it was better (which it obviously isn't) it is so many other flaws, just one thing that's better doesn't compensate the hundreds of issues!

Sword of Mana needs more love. There's too much hate towards it... It's one of the most beautiful GBA games... and it's art style is gorgeous.

[@yuvi3000]

I played the original and I personally loved Sword of Mana as a remake. It is one of my favourite RPGs of all time. The music, story and overall feel of the game for me hit the spot. I also don't entirely understand some of the complaints about adding to the story and elongating the game. Isn't that the point of a remake? The original was great, but Sword of Mana took advantage of many things the GBA could do and added as much as they could into the game so players could spend more time in it. I play JRPGs for the story, exploration, and the expected repetitive grind half the time. I went into Sword of Mana expecting that and got more of it. So I understand people not liking change, but I thought the changes were for the better because it was what I wanted in the game.

[@nowonmetube]

Actually, I believe the Trials of Mana developers were stating that they didn't realize until well into development that there was a fan translation, and were surprised at what they called an overwhelming overseas response.

[@kaptenteo]

My personal favorite in the Mana series is Legend of Mana, and I really hope that it will eventually be made available on modern platforms, or possibly remade in the same beautiful style as Trials of Mana was. The new Trials of Mana should serve as a shining example to all developers of how you do a good remake.

[@NewRetroGame]

The best Versions for the first three Mana-games are for me Sword of Mana (the gba-remake of Final Fantasy Adventure, Mystic Quest whatever), the Snes-original of Secret of Mana and the Remake of Trials of Mana. Sword of Mana is more like the 16-bit Games of the Series. We had more text yes, but more Story with some very good scenes. The Battlesystem is the update of Trials of Mana. It doesn´t allow you to spam like in Secret of Mana, but you are not so helpless by using of magic, like Trials of Mana. Oh and there some other Scenes if you play the Girl. Secret of Mana for snes is still the perfect version on the original console and the Switch. You have a good 16-bit graphic with charme and the Soundtrack is awesome. Yeah you can spam the magic and the bosses are with good Training at the end very easy, but hey the other points are good. This point is only for me: the german Translation is so funny with some good refenreces of the german modern culture of the second half of the 20th century, thanks Claude Moyse. Trials of Mana the remake has the better battlesystem than the original, so sorry. I want to like the original, but it is for me to slow and by the using of magic you are helpless and lose the HP which you healed. By the graphic is the snes-version better. The Soundtrack is by both great!

[@jedimaster12100]

Very informative and well made. I did not know about various versions of this game. I still have to buy Adventures of Mana for the Vita. I cant wait to get the collection physically at the end of the month.

[@19Szabolcs91]

Sword of Mana happens to be one of my favorite games. It's such an amazing re-imagining this simple story into a more deep and emotional journey. I love the aesthetics, the colors, the gloominess, and even the soundtrack uses the limitations of the GBA soundchip for the atmosphere nicely. It's really on par with Metroid: Zero Mission as far as great GBA remakes go.

[@davidhill8565]

I’d rather have multiple new versions of Square Enix’s old games, as I want everyone to have multiple options to play the game, rather than just an emulated port or pixel remaster. A port or pixel remaster with an arranged soundtrack is fine. Final Fantasy I-VI got a pixel remaster, but at least it got an arranged soundtrack with live band and orchestra. I’d like to see a future version of Final Fantasy I-VI with voice acting, and with either hi-resolution (4K) 2D graphics, HD-2D (Octopath style) graphics, or preferably full 3D Unreal Engine 5 graphics (while retaining turn-based combat), or maybe two or all of the above.

The biggest issue in the SOM remake is that you don't have the option to drop out/drop in any time in multiplayer. I also ask myself why they didn't at least add a mini map to the flying sequences. The gameplay itself is zoomed in too much and can get really confusing with the new perspective.

[@nevnad4587]

[@austinl8074]

None of the games in the switch collection have any bug fixes. Trials has a few big ones that are still there as well. Crits don't work, so dex is useless minus one character that uses it for some spells, shields don't do anything, etc.

Secret of Mana wasn't re-released on Wii U VC, only Wii (though it's backwards compatible, of course). Maybe things were different in the Us or Japan though? But We didn't get it in Europe and were stuck with the 50Hz, slower version on Wii VC sadly.

[@lordadk31]

i finished the android version of secret of mana. in your video it seems the flammie landing has a low framerate and on my galaxy s6+ it was perfectly smooth. also i noted you spoke of having a controller but the game works great with the thumb. the shortcut you can prepare on the top right of the screen make the battles smoother than in the original. i really don't see how I could prefer the super nes version which is less good graphically (unless i use some action replay code to break the game).

[@Pumpkin_King0]

I love your videos man

[@xtiphuny89]

I'm a year late but I just played Trials of Mana all the way through. I played the Seiken Densetsu 3 pc emulator when I was in elementary school, around 2000 I think. I LOVED that game and played it several times throughout my life, the last time being when I was 23. Now I'm 31 and I have to say, I thoroughly enjoyed Trials of Mana. I turned off the voice acting (thank God they gave me the option) and I switched between the original soundtrack and the remake. Both good, but the original gets nostalgia points. While I loved the pixel art style of the original, I felt the new art style is reminiscent of the old styles feeling, and they captured the experience well. They did improve the leveling mechanics, and the fighting is more dressed up. Class changes mean a little more too, and the UI is smoother. All in all, I'd say both the original (emulator version) and the remake are very fun.

[@Cae_the_Kitsune]

I know it's a minor point, but Seiken is pronounced "say ken," not "sigh ken."

[@GamingJoey]

So how does the trials of mana translation compare to the seiken densetsu 3 fan translation?

[@ASolidSnack]

I'm surprised you didn't mention the text width fan hack of the SNES version of Secret. Part of what made the original translation of Secret so bad was that the amount of text was incredibly truncated. The fan hack gives the game a better font and an "updated translation" with much more detail and nuance than the original. However it's since been admitted that the so-called translation was straight made-up and just a rewritten version of the SNES translation with no actual basis on the Japanese version. I think for 99% of people it's not a very viable alternative because of that, but if (like me) you just can't stand how simplistic the SNES translation is, but also prefer the SNES graphics to the point you wouldn't enjoy the remake, it's worth at least a consideration.

For Adventures of Mana and Secret of Mana, the remake’s English translation is more faithful to the Japanese text than the one seen in Collection of Mana.

It's very subjective: The translation was raw at its best (with what we can assume as "guessed" nation names. eg: Rolante & Navarre instead of Laurent and Nevarl, etc.) but didn't f*ck up Charlotte/Carlie's personality and speech like the official translation did. She may look young, and act young, but baby-talk was too much... The official translation presents us a better insight on the story, fleshes out some of the characters' personalities, purposes...And renaming some locations prolly got them an extra mark. (eg: Fan translation's Dragon Hole... oof) All in all, there are pros & cons to both versions. I grew up with the fan-translation, but I'm loving almost every bit of Trials of Mana in the collection.

[@KaitosRPGGuild]

Play everyone! :D Except for the Smartphone version. :/ But every game is really awesome. And the Collection of Mana makes it even much more better.

For me personally I bought the japanese version 2 years ago physically and now the Collection of Mana in German or the german Retail version. One thing I don't like that much at the Mana Collection: If you are saving a file on the german version for example, you cannot use THIS certain Save file in other languages. And that's not so cool.

FF Adventure is single player Secret of Mana is 3-player co-op.

There are a couple 3-player playthroughs on YT. It's preferable to play it this way since the AI is garbage. Trials of Mana was 2-player co-op on the SNES, though there was a buggy 3-player romhack available online for playing on emulator.
