Google tells me it's a Japanese social network.

I like how the artwork for Seiken Densetsu 3 hasn't been updated whatsoever.

Probably for the best. Did you see Sword of Mana? Children of Mana? Mana series' artwork was one of the first signs that the series was going to pot.

[sublimit]

I think the sad thing here is that everyone knew where the thread title would lead. :/

 

[Jeels]

It's not even surprising anymore and I've become so desensitized I don't even care.

 

[Muffdraul]

Fuck I'm getting old and out of touch. I just had to google GREE to find out what it was.

EDIT: Oh good, I'm not the only one. Whatever, I'm still old.

 

[denshuu]

What is a GREE game ?

I can't believe this went 4 pages without someone asking this. Is GREE that huge that everyone just knows what it is? I'd never even heard of it until just now.

 

[ohlawd]

Quit playing games with my heart.

And you shall receive.

lol those ellipses in the title gave this away. Sucks :/

 

[Verelios]

Didn't we predict this when it was announced? Pretty sure there was a definite vibe of 'social game...'.

I'm sad it came true though =(

 

[Regulus Tera]

I love these threads. <3

 

[Einhander]

I can't see why they don't make a good Mana game for 3DS.

 

[Uncle Rupee]

I can't see why they don't make a good Mana game for 3DS.

Because the Kingdom Hearts engine can't run good games

 

[Dark Schala]

Haaaahahahaha!

Alright, I liked that.

Clearly evidence of a bad influence.

 

[fates]

Square Enix has become such a joke lately. It is really sad.

 

[lunchwithyuzo]

Is there a possibility this is a timed exclusive? Still pissed I can't play that SD1 cellphone remake, that's basically the original in color with some tweaks.

I'm still sad the SD1 remake never made it to DS. It was in the same early poll as FFIV and SaGa 2 iirc, so I figured there was some interest at least.

I wouldn't mind seeing some of SE's mobile remakes get conversions and releases on 3DS eShop and Vita PSN though. SD1 and DQ1-3 especially.

 

[fates]

Well what I always wondered is why Seiken Densetsu 3 hasn't been touched since well... it came out. No ports, no nothing.

Though to be honest, current Square Enix would screw it up somehow and keep it Japan only (again).

Yeah, I really want to play that game. Along with Link's Awakening it was the first game I ever owned. Sword of Mana strayed too far from the original and wasted some good opportunities. Cutting the Chocobro was foolish.

 

[Doug Heffernan]

Wish it was Square Enix announces Sleeping Dogs 2...

 

[kunonabi]

At this point I just want Bravely Default so I can just ignore SE just like I do with Capcom and Konami.

We all know what GREE is because Square just pulled this same exact stunt with Final Fantasy:

Note the evil title: "A new TYPE of FINAL FANTASY".

Dammit man, my nostalgia's all over the place but it blows my mind how the basis for this track was on the brick GameBoy.

This entire album really. Love it so damn much.

 

[CTLance]

Saw the title, knew what was coming... and cringed in pain nonetheless.

Ah well. Fare thee well, Mana franchise. You will always be part of my youth. *sniffle* I... I promised myself I wouldn't cry. *sob*

 

[Nirolak]

Wish it was Square Enix announces Sleeping Dogs 2...

They basically did in their last fiscal briefing.

Of course, I wouldn't expect to see it for a whlie.

 

[Aru]

How dare they mix the masterpieces Seiken 2 and 3 with the abomination that is Seiken 4 !

 

[ohlawd]

This entire album really. Love it so damn much.

First I've heard of this. You have my thanks.

I just finished listening to Decisive Battle and now I'm on the 1st song on the playlist. This sounds so good.

Glad at least someone took the time to check it out. One of the best hidden OST gems out there.

 

[Aru]

I only hope this also means Seiken Densetsu 3 will finally have an official translation.

You wanna talk Mana music, we have to talk about some of my all time favorites:

Meridian Dance

Where Angels Fear to Tread

The Mana Sanctuary

The Dragon's Hole

Rolling Cradle


Oh, Mana, what a series you were. Where did it all go wrong?

How dare they mix the masterpieces Seiken 2 and 3 with the abomination that is Seiken 4 !

THAT GAME NEVER HAPPENED.


So how many RPG series have Square laid in the grave now? Mana, Chrono, Front Mission, and Parasite Eve? Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, and Kingdom Hearts are all they've really got left, right?

 

[To Far Away Times]

The "..." gives it away in the title, but it still stings.

 

[ohlawd]

Oh, I played the game a long time ago. I just didn't know there was rearrange album.

 

[Aru]

THAT GAME NEVER HAPPENED.

I agree. Not sure I agree about Parasite Eve and Chrono, but I'll have to play PE1, PE2 and Chrono Cross to judge on that.

 

[Joule]

Oh, Mana, what a series you were. Where did it all go wrong?

Close your eyelids. The World of Mana project sounded so promising those years ago.

 

[R_thanatos]

For GREE.

Remember that Circle of Mana trademark? Well it was for this... http://www.jp.square-enix.com/seiken_circleofmana/

Why did i click on that link .... WHYYYYY ?

damn kagari , this remind me of someone else thread titles

 

[CorvoSol]

I agree. Not sure I agree about Parasite Eve and Chrono, but I'll have to play PE1, PE2 and Chrono Cross to judge on that.

Chrono Cross didn't kill Chrono. The lack of anything at all afterward did. And what killed Parasite Eve was P3B.

Close your eyelids. The World of Mana project sounded so promising those years ago.

Yeah it did, and then it turned into randomly generated dungeons and an RTS.

 

[Deleted member 13876]

Oh, I played the game a long time ago. I just didn't know there was rearrange album.

Yeah, I meant that specific rearrange album. It's quite old and fairly obscure.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Square Enix announces a new Mario game?!?

...no, wait, I'm just blind.

 

[R_thanatos]

I think "Square Enix announced" + "thing you could conceivably want" + "it's not Eidos" usually implies a social/mobile/browser game, a title that will never be localized, or a sequel you probably didn't ask for.

But people should expect this kind of treatment from Square Enix by now!

NO this isn't a good escuse !!

Dammit my mana days ..to think that when i was younger i did a faq for seiken densetsu 3 .. so many good times turning that game upside down.

 

[CTLance]

This thread has me looping the SoM music in the background.

The symphonic reenactments are nice and all, but the SNES can sing in a way that tugs right at my heart strings. Dat howl.

 

[Toth]

So is it a game or...?

 

[lunchwithyuzo]

So how many RPG series have Square laid in the grave now? Mana, Chrono, Front Mission, and Parasite Eve? Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, and Kingdom Hearts are all they've really got left, right?

Ogre, SaGa, Ivalice, FFCC, Lufia, Valkyrie Profile, Quintet's Creation series. ;_;

 

[djtiesto]

Well, a lot of us already know about it from the last 50+ times SE announced new games in their classic IP series and they turn out to be GREE games.

 

[RurouniZel]

S-E can't get me excited anymore. Announcing FFXII Zodiac edition will be ported to Vita and sent for free to my house wouldn't even make me care. BECAUSE SOMEHOW IT WOULD BE A FUCKING CARD GAME

Laughing on the outside, crying at the truth on the inside.

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

Why does every SE announcement end up disappointing?

 

[MagiusNecros]

Maggy is beginning to think that the only good parts of Square emerge from Eidos and Enix.

And when Square does make something worthwhile it gets the stamp of JAPAN ONRY
