Trials of Mana PS4/Switch/PC (2020) and Mana Collection Switch announced
- Thread starter Xavi
- Start date
Cant be compared. Square Enix RPGs or epics in the day were always on the higher end.
Or maybe it was just high in general for high profile games. Street fighter 2 apparently Ran around 70. Same for Mortal Kombat 3.
It can. Two collections of retro games released today and one is £16 the other is £35.
If the Mana collection was £20 do people think SE would be in the red?
RPGs have always been seen as a higher value proposition.
A second-hand copy of Contra 3 usually went for around a tenner back in the day.
A second-hand copy of FF3/Chrono Trigger would set you back about £40-50.
Square was making nothing then. The same as they get from me today.
They want 2 pound less than what I'm paying for Mario Maker 2.
I don't know why the game originally coming out on the SNES means that they have to price it in the bargain bin. A localization with multiple languages for a large Action/RPG with multiple paths is still a large undertaking and the fact that the game originated on old hardware actually probably made the localization more difficult to do than a similar modern game which would have probably been programmed with localization in mind.
$25 for portable SD3 now in non-Japanese languages
$10 for portable Secret of Mana
$5 for the first digital release of the original Final Fantasy Adventure
All games that are considered some of the best games on their respective platforms. It's not a sweet bargain like say the Castlevania/Contra collections are, but I don't think it's highway robbery either.

I absolutely love Seiken Densetsu 3, so I'm getting this remake day one. I'm really looking forward to remakes of the music too.
Wow, I think your priorities are completely out of whack. You are getting multiple great games, one of them having NEVER been released in NA (and is considered an ATG by many). All of that for well under the price of a regular game.
Why would any company bother translating their previously unreleased games if the message we send them is that we aren't willing to pay for them? Why would we ever get a Mother 3? Or a Bahamut Lagoon? Why would they bother going through the hassle of translating those games?
I want to keep getting these excellent games that we never received in the first place. I am more than willing to pay LESS than a typical game to make that happen. Happily.
Sorry, I meant that the physical version from Japan - I wish they would put out a patch to provide english support in that version like several other Switch games do - as opposed to having to buy the seperate NA release for the english versions.
It doesn't matter, but...
Secret -> Trials -> Adventures.
I personally think Secret is the best, but I think you'll find a lot of people saying Trials is better, and it is more "interesting" than Secret, so I would start with the classic Secret of Mana, then play a slightly different and unique experience with Trials. I would not start with Adventures and just play it if you're curious after the other two.

There three main antagonists, each shared by two characters.
Duran~Angela
Charlotte~Kevin
Riesz~Hawk
Some stuff changes depending on your main character. This is a short game and multiple playthroughs are encouraged if you really liked the game
I swear I remember most people saying they would throw down way more than $40 for an English release when this came out in Japan in 2017... Anyways, this was an easy buy for me. Final Fantasy Adventure was one of the first games I got for my first system, the original GB and I haven't played it since. SoM I just played for the first time on the SNES Mini when it came out and thought it was really enjoyable despite its age and being a little clunky. SD3 I have only ever heard good things about so I'm excited to jump into that.
Apologies if this has already been asked, but is the UK eShop version of Secret of Mana 60hz? I ask because it's Mystic Quest for the Game Boy, and they say French and German are supported. If it's the Pal version I'll just skip it and get it from the US eshop.
Duran, Angela and Charlotte if you want to recreate a Secret of Mana vibe.
anyone want to report on features in the collection? interested to know if any QoL additions are present or if it's basically the original games with background options, music options, etc.

Youre right they resemble them!
Ooh i see, thanks for the info!

Good thing I'm the one paying with my hard earned money and not you.
I'm probably going to play Final Fantasy Adventure first for an hour or so, then play Trials to completion, then go back and finish FFA. I'll probably skip Secret of Mana - I feel like it's kind of in an awkward spot in that it's not as complex or as pretty as Trials, but doesn't have the same old-school charm as FFA, while still being pretty clunky (I don't know if they fixed anything with this collection, but the original was kind of buggy & the hit detection & balance was off).
Is the physical release a limited print sort of deal? Trying to decide whether I want to pre-order now or wait.
SD1/FFA is actually a fantastic game despite its technical issues/weird level design quirks. It's easily one of the best GB games ever made and its story is surprisingly engaging despite its simplicity. Certainly better than Secret which I never managed to finish because the combat and pacing was so awkward and weird.
I was on your side! As soon as I saw the price I knew half the posts on the internet would be bitching about it and comparing it to other myriad games and products that cost similar and present an entirely different and incomparable value proposition. There's a really easy solution for those people.
Personally, if this was a Mother trilogy I'd happily pay £35 but I didn't love SoM enough (played for the first time on the SNES Classic) to be convinced the sequel is worth it. It's cool they've put it out though. Maybe in a sale for me.

Not just a rom dump, they invested into a new translation for 3.
i'm dying to see him in his death/ god hand evolution
I'm so happy with this! The sprite didn't do enough justice to Kevin.
awesome thanks. gotta think about this. super tempted to play through all three, but grinding could be an issue for me at this point in time.
