The mother of all stealth releases.
Bought !
Watch as at some point during the fall, Romancing Saga 2 drops unexpectedly.

If enough people tell Square Enix will they also release 3D Classics Final Fantasy? Can't believe that also skipped a western release.

Straight outta nowhere! Instabought.
Expensive day today with this and Zero Time Dilemma.
Played the first part after escaping the fortress.
Good:
You can switch music between old and new. Currently I'm on the new music just checking how it will be. For now it sounds pretty good.
Glad you don't have to use the touch controls.
It feels like Seiken Densetsu!
Bad:
Don't like that when you attack while moving you do a stabbing attack.
Collision boxes feel a bit off. Especially when stabbing.
Don't like the touch screen based UI.
Jury is still out on this. Feels pretty good, but since combat feels a bit off I'm not sure if this is the definitive version. Might be nostalgia goggles though.

Well well well. Moaning did indeed pay off! Will get this when I get home I guess.

So, how many times do we need to buy this in order to get all the other Senix Vita games in the West? Sigh.

Gonna support this in the hopes of maybe getting more Square games brought over.
This is very close to the original, including getting fucked because you forgot to buy extra mattocks before a dungeon. The menus take some time to get used to, but they aren't any worse than the original's. I really like this remake so far (played until right after the vampire boss fight), I recommend it to everyone that still enjoys the original Mystic Quest/Final Fantasy Adventure/Seiken Densetsu.
It's certainly a lot better than Sword of Mana.

I wonder if this will show up on the Vita store in NA today with the PSN store update?

Yes. I really hope this shows up in the NA store as well. I would buy it in a heartbeat.
Limited Run Games should go through SquareEnix Collective to produce physical copies-

This game is so goooood
You can switch between classic GB and rearranged modern music
Everything feels familiar but the mechanics have changed enough to make it feel new-ish. I know the original like the back of my hand but I still get lost every now and then because everything just looks different
Runs perfectly fine on Vita, barring a few hiccups here and there. The menus could be better suited to button controls but you'll get used to it. Combat/movement on buttons is great and I'm glad I don't have to use touch
Thank you Square Enix. I won't stop playing this until I have the Platinum trophy

Hell yeah. That's what I like to hear. Is there any word of a PS4 release? I...don't have a Vita.
PS4 version doesn't exist.

I'm curious how well this will do. Secret of Mana was HUGE in Europe back in the day.
Well that answers that.
Adventures of Mana arrives later today.

Doesn't appear to be on the store yet, but someone in the comments says it costs $13.99.

What? Awesome. We need to support this, prove to Square that releasing these kind of game son Vita into English is worth their time, effort and cost and that we can get further IP revivals like this in the future (and ensure we get SaGa Scarlet Grace in English on Vita, as well).
Buying now (even though I have Star Ocean 5 and Zero Escape 3 on the way too and probs buying Grand Kingdom tonight...lol). Swimming in Japanese games again now, loving this. Reminds me of the PS2 era.

What, what, what? A Mystic Quest remake??? My favorite GameBoy game, which I play religiously every year (in my original GameBoy)?
Please be good, please be good...

As far as I can tell with my limited experience with the original, this is pretty much a straight port with better graphics and amazing music

And a new translation.
I can't believe they stealth released this. Still super glad to finally play it. That is, after I platinum Axiom Verge and Odin Sphere. So in about a month from now. I'll still buy it right now though.
Oh man, and GE also releasing today. Where do I find the time to play all these games!?!?
Thanks. Glad to know it runs smoothly.
Thanks for the link!

What should i expect from the story?

Don't expect much. It's very limited by its Game Boy roots. There are some cool characters and even emotional events, but conversations are very short and only tell you what's absolutely necessary.

It's brutal.
You should expect that this was made before the time where stories in games became a big deal.

Ill keep that in mind thanks
🤔🤔🤔hmm
Aw yissssssssss. Such a nice surprise! I was thinking about getting it for my iPhone, but I've never been able to get into mobile gaming, so it's much better this way.
Yup. Tested it on ps tv. Works like a charm.
Story is really simple and basic but still hits the right notes. It works cause it shows instead of tells. Your actions are what makes the story.

This game.
This is Mystic Quest, and I fucking loved that on the Game Boy. Never played Sword of Mana, heard it was inferior. But this remake is ace. Some things crawl back and I fucking know what to do at the palm trees right away now. Almost there.
Brilliant release and at a very fair price. Get it.
