Secret of Mana Remake (PC/Vita/PS4, February 15th, 2018) Trailer

ULTROS!

People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
Remake! ... port of the phone remake.

The highest of highs to the lowest of lows.

I don't think there's an actual remake of this game on the phone?

It looks great, don't understand the hate. Are we too good for cartoony but clean graphics now?

The art style just doesn't look appealing. There's nothing about it that draws you in, it just seems cartoony but generic.

If you like it, that's great. For me it just turns me off the game :(.
 
Looks great cannot wait, do not understand the rampant negativity here. What do people expect nowadays, as long as it retains the original atmosphere it will be just fine.

Nice!! Really looks like they used the FFA Remake engine. I'm still playing the iOS version today (my SNES game has everyone on level 99, oh the memories!).

Won't buy it again, though, as it comes with the SNES classic as well.

Lost my shit when I saw the title and heard the music....

Then lost hope when I saw the art style and heard the voices.

And why no Switch version?

SoM was one of my favourite games growing up. It deserves better than this.


This should be bmp/real art and not low poly 3d

Maybe I'm misremembering? I'm also going off the (lack of) graphical fidelity.

The iOS version is essentially a widescreen port of the SNES game with redone UI. I also know that the hit counter has been fixed so it's harder to hit enemies in that version.

Favorite game of all time, so you'd think I'd be thrilled but after seeing that trailer...

Day fuckin' one.

Also, finally got to confirm something I always wanted to know, what the girl's name would look like localized if they went with the official names, whether they'd keep the "pu" sound from Japanese or go with romanization and just make that a "p". Based on the dub trailer's description it's as I always thought it would and should be; Primm and not Purim.
 
They basically stuck with the Adventures of Mana art style.

The bright side of that is they're likely not going to stop with just Seiken Densetsu 1 and 2. I'd guess they'll do a Seiken Densetsu 3 remake in the same art style with a worldwide release.

When it rains it pours with video game news today, huh.

Was not expecting this remake. Art style is... interesting. Let's see some gameplay.

I wonder if FF6 or CT is next
Pls pls pls F6 remake with colorful "deformed" characters (though not necessarily identical to this). Was wishing for that on 3DS for a long time.
 
Super happy and surprised by this. Will definitely pick this up. Graphics look fine to me, but I'm not convinced about the Voice Acting. Didn't seem too hot in the trailer, but hopefully it will be fine.

Honestly the art seems to be pretty in line with the spirit of the original, I'm gonna go with it. Let's see some gameplay now

Also physical version please

Yup, that's my guess too. Exciting!

Interesting graphics. I'm not sure if I like the new look or not. Seems like a step above Tokyo RPG Factory graphics but not exactly impressive either.

I think Seiken Densetsu 3 will be next after this.

And hopefully it does come (despite most likely being a 3D remake) because if it does happen, we can officially play SD3 in English. :)

Damn why not in 2D? :( :( :(

Reconsidering my dayone... art style is quite bad... and the art of Mana is one of the best thing... :(

looks okay to me, and Mana is in my top 5 fave games of all time

it's great to see Squeenix branch out and do middle tier budget games

OH MY GOD!
OH MY GOD!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

EDIT: The English VO (all three lines in that trailer) sucks though. And the Japanese VO didn't sound that much better either.
Hopefully VO can be turned off.

EDIT2: Also, I'm a bit bummed that there will be no Switch version.
The west didn't even get the Seiken Densetsu Collection, so this would've been actually very nice.
But whatever, Steam, Vita, PS4, all are nice, too.
If the Vita version doesn't have a lot of drawbacks compared to the PS4/Steam versions, then I might as well buy it on there.
