As someone that's never played a Mana game, should I get the new Collection?
Yes. They are all legitimately good. The best of the bunch (Seiken Densetsu 3) is among the best ever.

I'm all in on seeing the new class models, I hope they go all out.
DID YOU SEE YOUR BOY HAWK HE LOOKS GLORIOUS
In the remake? No multi. Maybe as DLC? idk.They didn't talk about multiplayer at all, did they? Not having that would be a major disappointment

No multiplayer because of the new systems. It can't work locally and they said no plan for online so that pretty much sealed the deal.
So dropping Vita/Unity for Switch/UE4. Smart move.
Hell yah i use to read that article and stare at at the art forever. i was a freshman in highschool at the time i was in love chrono trigger trying to get all 14 endings. and this game also had multiple endings i was ready.Ahhh that gamefan preview /review got me so fucking hyped when I was a teen
Yeah at least in the original sprites Riesz was wearing armor.The Nintendo Treehouse footage has me excited. Looks like a solid B Tier RPG. I will be buying it. I do wish the outfits on the female characters were changed up a bit. The Mana series was my favorite series growing up and it's hard sharing the same enthusiasm with my daughters when the women models are more as sexed up as they are. I know some of the dudes are not wearing much but it looks like it's meant to be more badass than sexy.

I'm gonna be so sad if/when they change that move.Yeah at least in the original sprites Riesz was wearing armor.
Though Angela was just as bad.

Yeah - while its tamer than a lot of games in the genre I wish I didnt have to deal with this spiciness when trying to get my 8 year old daughter into a series I was super into in my childhood.
Diehard GameFan previews & review from the mid 1995.
Sure they mix up the title and what's with the "CD action/RPG" in the score review, IDK, but otherwise probably the best English coverage of the game from that time.

Wouldn't 8 be a bit young for a series where enemies can explode into a pile of bones anyway? There's no blood or anything but I'd think punching wolves into bone piles would be a bit much for a child.Yeah - while its tamer than a lot of games in the genre I wish I didnt have to deal with this spiciness when trying to get my 8 year old daughter into a series I was super into in my childhood.

I'm basing this on the fact that the poster feels the child is young enough to be bothered by Angela's outfit and special attack. If that's the case then, I'd think, blasting doggos into bones would also be of concern for that child.Depends on the kid. When I was 8, most kids in my class played stuff like Mortal Kombat and saw a bunch of rated R horror movies. Even some cartoons back then were more than exploding bones. 8 isn't always so young for this stuff as it seems, but depends if the kid is even bothered by it.
I think you're making the opposite point than what you're thinking. Mana games have always been super cutesy in a way that is appropriate for children. The exploding into smoke and bones in a non visceral way is a part of that. Regardless, my daughter and I play through the 3d Zelda series together which I feel is a more visceral violent than Mana. I'm not concerned by that on display here. I'm just saying its I can see me selecting badass dudes and then she will want to select a chick to play as and the options are either a kid or women that are more sexed up than badass, in comparison to the boys.I'm basing this on the fact that the poster feels the child is young enough to be bothered by Angela's outfit and special attack.

That said, I dont think this is especially egregious, especially compared to other games. I'll definitely be picking this up next year, and we will hopefully have played through the collection together by then.
Yeah there's just one tiny problem, which is that Riesz is one of the most bad ass character in the game...
Like I said the only character that could be problematic is Angela, and that's only if you focus on that.
Riesz looks great, but I think a slight adjustment would have removed any fanservicy elements (which I do think are pretty tired). Angela is definitely the character that stands out, though. I wouldn't put this in the major problem category, but I can see why some people would be irked by it.
Also, let us not slander Duran. He has always looked like a badass (even if his design does scream Masters of the Universe by way of Japan).
Have people gotten far enough into the game to see how the official localization stacks up against the fan ones?
it is but you can switch to US NTSCSo, for those who bought the EU release... Is SoM 50hz in this collection ?
Nope on the fly in the game!
That's old square's anime taunts for you
