SoM's mechanics are almost all bad. It's a good game in spite of that, somehow.

I just remember thinking it looked really loving cool in EGM and I was pissed I didn't get a playstation or whatever system it came out on. edit: Also the only mana game I've completed (several times) is SD3. I know a lot of people complain about the class change system but it's actually one of my favorite parts. People say it sucks that you can end up with a bad class if you don't plan ahead but that isn't really true, the game is so easy people have beaten it using the starting and 2nd classes.

the ds one has really fast combat and it's very frustrating but still better than people waiting for a few seconds while a number appears every time they're hit

The DS one was also a terrible dungeon crawler that tried to mimic the physics engine of the PS2 game so you'd get moments where a barrel would knock you into a wall and back into a monster into another monster and whoops now you're dead for no reason and have to do the last 20 minutes of spamming one button over again because saving your progress inside a dungeon is a foreign concept.

Doctor Goat posted:the ps2 one was the one i was thinking of, not the ds one That one has the slowest combat in the series, though? (Not counting the RTS, obviously.) Like every time you need to kill a monster you have to chuck a physics object at it so it could freak out long enough for you to beat on it, or else they couldn't be staggered and would take you out easily or else take forever to kill. I do like that the mechanic is basically scaring the poo poo out of monsters, though.

Maybe you're thinking of the GBA one? That one went by insanely fast, especially since there's a crafting system you can easily break so that bosses die in 15 seconds.

The GBA one took a simple story and overdramatized the hell out of everything. I don't need to spend ten minutes listening to the main guy cry about his dead girlfriend or how the bad guy is actually a good guy despite being a bad guy or whatever poo poo, just give me the loving bionic chocobo already you fucks. Also the gameplay is laughably easy.

Whitewashing Chocobot is a loving travesty. Also I love the fact that they took what was like a ten minute final boss sequence in the original (I liked replaying it due to the music) and turned it into like an hour of boring dialog.

These are all different games, tho? Buy Legend of Mana it's pretty great. There is only one version and it's on PSN for $3 right now.

No game is worth paying more than $30 for. And that's pushing it.

I would but I'm also a crazy collector and it would bother me if I didn't already own it from back in the day.

Game is too divisive to recommend for $40 unless you really want to collect it. I love it but many people don't. Also there's only one version of the game unless it somehow sold enough to get a Greatest Hits version.

Legend of Mana is one of those games that aged real real well, art and music are as good as they always were. It has a cool beat-em up style with heavy rpg elements and a lot of different weapons and magic so there's tons of variety. The plot is a bunch of seemingly unconnected side quests and three major story arcs that often tie into each other, funny thing is people panned the game for the side quests when it came out which is pretty lol considering that sort of thing is normal these days. One massive problem though; it's insanely, ridiculously easy. You never have to grind but you don't have to try hard either.

Really would have been nice if that book that changes the difficulty was available on the first run. Or if it let you mix and match them for regular enemies and bosses. The highest difficulty is perfect for bosses but super tedious for regular encounters, but the other one makes bosses too easy.

i just found Saga Frontier 2 and was reminiscing about it. Saga games were ok and kinda had some similar feelings to the mana games. Now that I see so much unabashed praise for LoM I feel like maybe I have to give ti a second chance? Who knows what my gaming future might hold?
