There are new scans for Trials of Mana. Wont post them since it is not allowed but you can check them out here.
Doesn't seem like there was anything actually new shown from Trials of Mana at Gamescom was there?
Maybe the voice acting actually? Though I will definitely be opting for either JP or off after watching these lol
My most anticipated upcoming JRPG. This is what I imagined Secret of Mana evolving into when I was a kid.
If only they would re-do SD1&2 in UE4 with these graphics.
This remake is amazing!Woah they went the extra mile.
Each class has a unique model and design.
!!!
Their hair color won't change anymore though which is funny !

Collection of Mana has been released on the switch in Japan not terribly long after Switch launch, it was like 2 years later that it was released in the US. And I feel like I heard there was some cooperation with Nintendo on getting the Seiken Densetsu 3 rom that was used in the collection. Given this I wouldnt gamble on a ps4 release myself. Stranger things have happened though...Will the Collection of Mana ever have a PS4 release? Not port-begging by the way, I'm just genuinely curious as I prefer getting games on the PS4, but if it's not getting a port I'll gladly pick it up for Switch.
Yeah, physical release just dropped on my local store this week, so I was contemplating getting it.

I don't think there were illustrations for those classes. The old promotional art for Kevin for example only included God Hand and Death Hand. The hair color changing was probably also to make the classes more visually distinctive since all the sprites had gigantic hair.Are they concept art accurate?
The changing hair colors were probably a sprite palette limitation on the SNES.
I really hope they stay as faithful to the original in charcter design as they can. So far so good, though I think some costumes might be impractical from a rigging standpoint. I feel like someone's class outfit had like a whole dead animal as a coat or something.There's actually official art from the 2nd tier classes
Here's Angela as a Grand Divina and Magus for example
Man, I hope they dress up the ladies a little. I was hoping to play this game with my young girls, like how I got into Secret of Mana when I was young. The sprite art doesnt nearly give off the horndog vibes that that this official art and the remake itself has been giving off. Such a disappointment for me. Sucks to see the Mana series go this way (or have gone this way but was hidden due to Sprite limitations).I really hope they stay as faithful to the original in charcter design as they can.

This is what I was thinking of
I'd be quite surprised if we see that in game. I'm not even sure what's going on there.

The sprite art was different. Riesz clearly wore armor for example.Man, I hope they dress up the ladies a little.

I think they could pull it off if they approached it right. Dawn of Mana was a mess as a game, but they pulled off the look in 3D really well.If they do remake Legend I wonder how it would go. Its among my favorite PS1 games because if its proto open worldness and unique storybook feel. There are a lot of great things that could be lost in a remake, even though it has a lot of aspects that could benefit from a rethink.
The sprite art in the original game is gorgeous! I cant wait to play this.
I'm currently playing through the Trials in the collection right now (with the physical release). I just wanted to state my concerns that I hope the remake doesnt go too horndog in its art after seeing that big tittied woman in the trailer yesterday (sorry, went down Kevin's path on this recent playthrough, I dont recall her name), and seeing the original official art of wolf pelt Rieze and Magus Angela. I would hope the game play down those aspects so I dont have to police my daughters decision of characters for our playthrough.
Overall I'm super pumped for the remake and I wonder if they go for a remake of Legend next or if Square is ready to bite on something original?

The Japanese voice cast is thankfully good it seems. Here is the Japanese TGS trailer and credits:The Trials remake looks so good (unfortunately-unaltered ridiculous female costume design notwithstanding) but boy howdy, that voicework is amateur hour. I almost never do this but I'm gonna switch to the Japanese audio.

Duran: Takuya Eguchi
Angela: Rumi Ōkubo
Kevin: Ryōta Ōsaka
Charlotte: Sumire Morohoshi
Hawkeye: Yūki Ono
Riesz: Mikako Komatsu
Fairy: Maaya Uchida
Koren/Crimson Wizard: Yuichi Nakamura
Deathjester/Goremand: Tomokazu Sugita
Isabella/Belladonna: Yoshino_Nanjō
Although, the worst part about JP would still be Charlotte too. Still, none of the ENG voice cast even sounded like they were putting any effort into it whatsoever. Whoever is directing them must be asleep.

Woah, I must be the only one thinking the Japanese voice cast sounds worse. I can't stand, like, any of the female voices except maaaaybe Belladonna.
Wonder if Kevin's forms will change with the class too, or it will be just a recolor under the new clothes.
Is anyone having control issues with Secret of Mana in the collection? For some reason my character randomly starts to move on its own. I downloaded a patch, but the issue persists.
I'm using a pro controller, and I made sure to calibrate it just in case but the same problem still happens.
Yeah, but I mean changes on the wolf form itself. More deranged face, more or less fur, bigger claws, etcEach class has its wolf form because it's using parts of the costume he's wearing.
I haven't heard of this, does the issue happen if you use a joycon ?
Yeah, but I mean changes on the wolf form itself. More deranged face, more or less fur, bigger claws, etc
I really never use it, so I don't know. But it happens with the pro controller.
Can two controllers be active at the same time? Maybe I have joycon drift and the joycons hooked up to the console is causing it even though I'm not using them?
I saw another person on gamefaqs with the same issue, so I don't seem to be the only one.
No. M2 said it's Switch exclusive because Nintendo sourced the roms for them.Will the Collection of Mana ever have a PS4 release? Not port-begging by the way, I'm just genuinely curious as I prefer getting games on the PS4, but if it's not getting a port I'll gladly pick it up for Switch.
They look 90s as fuckThis game looks good (especially the gameplay) but some of these character designs are looking kinda rough.

Yeah it looks great.Excited - this remake looks like the real deal. I'm such a sucker for games with good evolutionary class changes.
Played SD3 a lot back in the day, and waiting on this as opposed to getting collection (I beat FF Adventure multiple times on the GB and also have the mini SNES for SoM).
I take it as a compliment.
Fan animation.Phew, Angela. Those are some outfits. Also, Duran looking like a hair metal frontman. Where is this animation even from?
