Maybe on Steam too if there's a crazy sale a few years from now.

I bought Tales of Vesperia DE on PS4 instead of Switch for the trophies and slightly better graphics and tbh I regret it, my wife complains when I take over the TV to play it. So I will definitely be purchasing Trials on Switch.

The Nintendo 2019 E3 really was hype... :allears:

Of course, I bought the Collection of Mana so that helped stave off the pain.

Of all the things I never expected from Square, an official English translation of Seiken Densetsu 3 was so unexpected it wasn't even on the goddamn list. Then there's the remake, and the collection came out later that day. Blew my goddamn mind.

And a complete remake too, not like "slap a lovely sprite filter over the SNES version and call it a day".

I'm extremely excited for this.

i hope they redo the magic attacks in the sd3 remake i remember it being kinda slow paced on the snes version and i dont have the patience to sit through long spell animations anymore. my goto crew was kevin/hawkeye/whoever can cast saber spells. that combo abolutely melted every boss.

The issue with spells was how you had to cast them from the menu every time. The game desperately needs quick commands, and it needs to be implemented better than SoM remaster.

the interview at the end of the art book almost makes it sound like the original snes cd version of som was just chrono trigger/made into chrono trigger

Menu and it pausing while you cast both sucked, they really did.

It's still sad how the later part of the game is clearly unfinished :smith:

Speaking of Secret of Mana: isn't there a spot in the game where you can get infinite orbs for a weapon?

This blog has some neat speculation and looking back on Secret of Mana if anyone's curious.

But yeah, there's obviously a lot more world map than we actually explore, as well as the last act rush.

I'm excited that Trials is a full remake that might actually fix some of the dated gameplay mechanics, though I'm still worried about the ??? and Rainbow seeds still being a mechanic.

Also I've been replaying Legend of Mana and learned that the Flowering teleporters in certain areas (in my case it was the Jungle) will fail if you bring Niccolo along because "Earthly thoughts" are distracting the Flowerling, something that isn't a problem with other NPCs. Always something new to learn with this game!
